Description

Hell in a Cell (2015) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE. It took place on October 25, 2015, at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. It was the seventh event under the Hell in a Cell chronology. This was the first WWE PPV other than SummerSlam held in Los Angeles since No Way Out in 2007.

Hell in a Cell featured professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that played out on WWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown. Wrestlers portrayed heroes or villains as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Alberto Del Rio made his unannounced return to WWE at the event. Accompanied by his new manager Zeb Colter, he answered John Cena's US Open Challenge and defeated him for the WWE United States Championship.
The main event match heading into Hell in a Cell is a Hell in a Cell match between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker, dubbed as the final chapter in their rivalry. The rivalry started at WrestleMania XXX in 2014 where Brock Lesnar defeated The Undertaker to break his undefeated WrestleMania streak. Over a year later at Battleground Lesnar was about to win back the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from Seth Rollins when the lights went out and Undertaker attacked Lesnar; Lesnar won the match by disqualification but not the title. After a vicious brawl between the two on Raw, Undertaker and Lesnar would face each other in a rematch at SummerSlam. Undertaker defeated Lesnar in controversial fashion; the timekeeper ringing the bell after seeing the Undertaker supposedly indicating submission; since the referee hadn't see a submission and never stopped the match, the match continued. The confusion allowed Undertaker to surprise Lesnar with a low blow before trapping him in the Hell's Gate submission hold, which caused Lesnar to pass out and gave Undertaker the win . At Night of Champions, it was announced that Lesnar would face Undertaker one last time in a Hell in a Cell match at the event.

At Battleground, Bray Wyatt defeated Roman Reigns after interference from Luke Harper. At SummerSlam, Reigns and Dean Ambrose defeated Wyatt and Harper. At Night of Champions, Wyatt, Harper and Braun Strowman defeated Reigns, Ambrose and Chris Jericho. On the September 21 episode of Raw, Randy Orton helped Reigns and Ambrose fend off an attack by Wyatt, Harper and Strowman. Subsequently, Reigns challenged Wyatt to a Hell in a Cell match at the event, which Wyatt accepted. A match pitting Ambrose and Orton against Harper and Strowman was also scheduled for the Hell in a Cell Kickoff show but after Orton suffered a Shoulder injury, the match was cancelled.

At Night of Champions, Kane returned from injury as "Demon" Kane and attacked Seth Rollins after Rollins retained the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Sting. At Live from Madison Square Garden, Demon Kane attacked Rollins after Rollins lost to John Cena in a steel cage match. Subsequently, Rollins was scheduled to defend his title against Demon Kane at the event, but that should Demon Kane lose, Corporate Kane, Kane's alter ego, would be fired from his role as Director of Operations.

At Night of Champions, The Dudley Boyz had defeated WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day by disqualification, therefore not winning the titles. At Live from Madison Square Garden, The Dudley Boyz again won by disqualification. This led to another rematch for the title at Hell in a Cell.

The event also included two more rematches from Night of Champions: Charlotte had defeated Nikki Bella to win the Divas Championship and Kevin Owens had defeated Ryback to win the Intercontinental Championship. Both champions had to defend their newly-won titles against the former champions.

An open challenge title defense by United States Champion John Cena was also scheduled for the event.

On the October 19 edition of Raw, Sheamus, King Barrett and Rusev defeated Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro and Neville. Later that night, a rematch between the trios was scheduled for the Hell in a Cell Kickoff show.
