The eight-match card for WWE Hell in a Cell seemed ambitious considering how few matches they were given the allotted time of the event, but considering how everything wrapped up on Sunday night from San Antonio, Texas, it certainly made sense. In addition to a major title change earlier in the show and a controversy in a big title match smack in the middle of the pay-per-view, WWE gave us the return of Brock Lesnar on Sunday -- just one month after he seemingly left the company for the near-future to focus on an expected upcoming UFC heavyweight title match with Daniel Cormier inside the Octagon.
Lesnar impacted the Hell in a Cell match main event between universal champion Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar (more on that below), which became a cluster as it featured seven superstars, an "advocate" and a special guest referee by the time Hell in a Cell went off the air. There was a major spot off the cell in that match as there was in the bout that kicked off the main card, another cell match between Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton.
Ronda Rousey also stood out in a major way on the show in her rematch with Alexa Bliss for the Raw women's championship, and the SmackDown women's championship bout between Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch was also something to write home about. The Raw tag team title match may have been the best on the show, while the SmackDown tag championships were relegated to the kickoff.
Ultimately, 2018 WWE Hell in a Cell was entertaining and much of the booking did make sense. It once again did not live up to the true potential of what WWE can give us from a pay-per-view, and the individual matches (as you will see below) were better than the sum of their parts
