Once a year, WWE hosts its annual Hell in a Cell PPV, where high-profile feuds end with wrestlers in a head-to-head battle inside the titular event match. This year's Hell in a Cell has a lot of promise, with multiple title defenses and highly-anticipated matches. If you're looking for results, you've come to the right place, as GameSpot will have live match updates as the show goes on, which you can see below.
Fans will not be in attendance for this event, as Hell in a Cell will take place in the Thunderdome. Currently, the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida is where the Thunderdome calls home. So while the cheers and boos may be piped in through speakers, at least you'll get to see WWE fans at home reacting to the action inside the ring.
And even though you're watching the show from the comfort of your own couch, WWE's PPVs haven't been very long affairs, so while the main card begins at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT, it shouldn't run much longer than 11 PM ET / 8 PM PT. This is just speculation though, as neither Peacock or WWE have revealed how long Hell in a Cell will run.
Before the main card, there is the Kickoff Show, which you can watch for free on YouTube and on Twitter. If you want to keep up with the main card though, you'll need to subscribe to Peacock's Premium or Premium Plus tier if you live in the United States. If you're outside of the US, you can watch Hell in a Cell on the WWE Network. Below, you'll find the match card for the PPV.

Prior to the Kickoff Show beginning, one match was added to the Kickoff Show. Natalya will take on Mandy Rose for the pre-show.
There seems to be wide-spread problems with Hell in a Cell loading on Peacock. We can confirm, as it's not loading on the service on a PS5. Luckily, the PPV works on my phone. So I guess I'll cover this bad boy from my phone screen?
The match itself was fine. Lots of back and forth, with a lot of back-and-forth two counts. This match did what it was supposed to. It warmed up the crowd for the rest of the PPV.
Natalya submits Rose.
This was a long, brutal match that stayed entirely inside the cell. While it didn't live up to their Wrestlemania 37 bout--which was incredible--the Hell in a Cell match between Belair and Bayley was dynamite. Hopefully, this isn't the end to their feud, as this duo puts on some incredible PPV matches.
Belair wins by pin.
Rollins wins by pin.
This was a short one that really didn't do anything for either of the wrestlers involved. However, we did get to see Bliss and Nia Jax scream at each other because Jax was hypnotized. That's a thing that happened.
Alexa Bliss wins by pin.
Zayn wins by pin.
Charlotte ends up picking up the win; however, because of champion's advantage, Rhea retains the title. Obviously, we'll see a rematch between the two wrestlers at Money in the Bank. More than likely, it will be a No DQ or Falls Count Anywhere match, where the champion's advantage won't be in effect.
Charlotte wins by DQ. Ripley is still champion.
If you're looking for a couple of beefy wrestlemen beating each other to a pulp inside a cage, utilizing weapons from outside and under the ring, I have a match for you... this one. Quite a few enjoyable and unique moments here, including MVP trapping McIntyre in the corner by putting a kendo stick through the cage. This resulted in McIntyre flipping off Lashley, before getting the snot kicked out of him.
However, this was a bit of a long one. At times, it was a little slow, but was a solid match nonetheless. The finish was a bit of a letdown, as MVP got into the mix again, distracting McIntyre, which allowed Lashley to get the rollup pin. Because of the finish, we might see McIntyre in the championship mix again, even though this was his "last time" challenging Lashley for the title.
Bobby Lashley wins by pin.
