WWE got the main show going by having Edge and Seth Rollins fight inside Hell in a Cell. It took several minutes to lower the cage and play the video package before the entrances happened, though.
As soon as the bell rang, Edge forced Rollins to the corner and started unloading on him. The Visionary hit a boot to the face and unleashed his own flurry of punches, but the veteran popped him up and dropped him on the top rope to get back in control.
Rollins hit a springboard knee but when he went for a suicide dive, The Rated-R Superstar sent him into the side of the cell like a missile. He then hit an Edgecution for a two-count before grabbing some chairs from under the ring. He snapped off one of the supports and tried to use it on his rival.
The Messiah tried to take out his opponent's eye with the piece of metal but settled for a sling blade to get a near-fall. Edge sent Rollins into the cell with a brutal baseball slide dropkick, but his opponent grabbed a chair and hit the veteran several times.
As Edge tried to lock his rival in a hold, Rollins hit him in the eye with the piece of chair they broke earlier.
Edge shoved Rollins off the top rope and he crashed through a table after hitting the side of the cell. Edge brought the steel steps in the ring and hit the Edge-o-Matic on top of them. The Rated-R Superstar hit him with a ladder from the middle rope but couldn't get the pin.
The Messiah hit a superkick and a Pedigree for another near-fall. Edge hit a buckle bomb followed by a Spear for the closest two-count of the match. He grabbed a ladder and rammed it into Rollins' face.
The Architect set up a table before he and Edge ended up on top of the ladder. Rollins hit a sunset flip powerbomb to put Edge through the table, but he still couldn't keep him down for three. He tied a chain around his foot to hit a superkick before setting up for a Super Stomp into a chair.
Edge countered that and hit Rollins below the belt with the chair. The Ultimate Opportunist grabbed the chain and a wrench to lock in the crossface, but he released the hold before Rollins could tap. Edge put his opponent on top of the chair and hit his own Stomp for the win.
Why does Rollins have to keep targeting the eyes of his opponents? It's almost as unnerving as when Randy Orton kept trying to rip Jeff Hardy's ear off.
Other than that, this was a solid HIAC match. Both men have plenty of experience with this stipulation, so they know how to pace themselves and use the structure to their advantage without overusing it.
Some of the bumps Rollins took in this match were incredible and probably very dangerous. His suicide dive and the fall through the table were major highlights. Edge being powerbombed through a table was another big moment that looked great.
Even if you skipped Crown Jewel, it's worth taking the time to check this one out. Both men put on an awesome performance.
