About Hell in a Cell (2020) in brief

Summary Hell in a Cell (2020)Hell in a Cell 2020 was a professional wrestling pay-per-view and WWE Network event produced by WWE for their Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. It took place on October 25, 2020 at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. It was the twelfth event under the Hell in the Cell chronology and featured WWE’s virtual fan viewing experience called ThunderDome. Seven matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, Randy Orton defeated Drew McIntyre to win the WWE Championship for a tenth time. Two other matches were also contested on the card: in the opening bout, Roman Reigns defeated Jey Uso to retain the Universal Championship, which was also the first time an \”I Quit\” match was contested inside the structure. Sasha Banks defeated Bayley to wins the Smackdown Women’s Championship, ending Bayley’s record-setting title reign at 380 days. The matches resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results were predetermined by WWE’s writers on the Raw andSmackDown brands, while storylines were produced on WWE’s weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night Smack down. The event was originally scheduled to be held on November 1, but was moved up to October 25; this change was reportedly done as WWE’s initial contract with the Amways Center expired on October 31.

On August 17, WWE announced that all future shows and pay- per-view would be held at the Amway Center, a larger venue also located in Orlando, for the \”foreseeable future\”, beginning with the August 21 episode of Smack Down. Approximately one thousand LED boards were installed in the Am Way Center to allow fans to virtually attend the events for free and be seen on the rows and rows of LED boards. Arena audio is also mixed with that of the virtual fans so that chants from the fans can be heard. The concept of the show comes from WWE’s established Hell in a cell match, in which competitors fight inside a 20-foot-high roofed cell structure surrounding the ring and ringside area. The main event match of the card is contested under theHell in the Cells stipulation. The match was confirmed as a Hell in The Cell match the next week, on the October 23 episode of The Usos. The following week, Reigns stated he wanted to hear Jey say ‘I Quit, Jey quit, I Quit’ before turning the match into the first-ever ‘I quit’ match contested inside a Hell In The Cells structure. On the October 23 episode of Raw, the Usos were exiled from the Anoa’i family and their immediate families would be exiled as The Tribal Chief or ‘The Usos’ Reigns declared that he would make Jey and Jimmy woud have to take orders and acknowledge Reigns as the Tribal Chief.
