In the opening contest of tonight’s WWE Hell in a Cell event, Dolph Ziggler defeated Cesaro to retain the Intercontinental Championship. However, in a rather unusual and rare incident, Ziggler actually won the Two-out-of-Three falls match in just two falls, both by pinning his opponent.
Nikki Bella defeated Brie Bella in the second match of the night. Per the agreed upon stipulation, Brie must now become her twin sister’s personal servant. She also has an option to quit the WWE instead.
And in tag team competition, Goldust and Stardust defeated the Usos to retain the WWE Tag Team titles to close out the first hour of Hell in a Cell.
KILLAM: Before anyone asks, there is actually precedent for the way the I.C. title match ended. MVP beat Chris Benoit 2-0 in their match at Judgment Day 2007. Steve Austin and Goldust did the same thing in 1993 at Starrcade, and there have been other examples over the years.
