Hell in a Cell (2010)

The 2010 Hell in a Cell was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was the second annual Hell in a Cell event and took place on October 3, 2010, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The event centered on the men's Hell in a Cell match, a 20-foot-high roofed steel cage that surrounds the ring and ringside area with no countouts or disqualifications and the only way to win is by pinfall or submission in the ring. Six matches were contested at the event, including two Hell in a Cell matches. In the main event, Kane retained SmackDown's World Heavyweight Championship against The Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match. In the other Hell in a Cell match, Randy Orton retained Raw's WWE Championship against Sheamus. Also on the card, Daniel Bryan retained Raw's United States Championship against The Miz and John Morrison in a Triple Threat Submissions Count Anywhere match, Wade Barrett defeated John Cena, and Edge defeated Jack Swagger. This was the final Hell in a Cell event held during the first brand split, which ended in August 2011, but was reinstated in July 2016. This was also WWE's last PPV event in which the World Heavyweight Championship was in the main event until TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs in December 2013.
