<p id="xbLGcG">When a WWE pay-per-view (PPV) event is on the horizon, the staff of Cageside Seats usually offers <a href="https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2021/6/19/22540569/wwe-hell-in-a-cell-2021-predictions">predictions</a> for all of the advertised matches on the card. This data can be used to calculate a simple predictability rating for any event.</p>
<p id="UUYv9s">Six different staff members predicted the winners for the matches that took place on June 20 at <em>Hell in a Cell 2021</em>. Staff members received credit for a correct prediction of the winner of any match, even if they were wrong about the context of that victory.</p>
<p id="7Wjnxc">The Cageside Seats <a href="https://www.cagesideseats.com/2021/6/20/22541437/wwe-hell-in-a-cell-2021-kevin-owens-sami-zayn-full-match-preview">match preview</a> articles for<em> Hell in a Cell</em> also offered polls allowing Cagesiders the chance to weigh in with their predictions.</p>
<p id="ozCwJh">The following chart contains the prediction results for these matches. The leftmost column includes the match list. Below each staff member’s name, the number “1” is a correct prediction and the number “0” is an incorrect prediction. Empty boxes indicate where no prediction data was available. The rightmost column contains the overall predictability rating for every match, and the very last row shows the overall accuracy of each individual staff member.</p>
<p id="UsoXma">The pre-show match between Mandy Rose and Natalya is not included in the results because it was not advertised far enough in advance of the event.</p>
<p id="6KdW39">The line for Rhea Ripley’s match can be interpreted as follows: “3 out of 7 predictions for Ripley’s match were correct, which is a predictability rating of 42.9%.”</p>
<div id="N6HXI2"><div data-anthem-component="table:10648263"></div></div>
<p id="oEOJ2e">These numbers add up to 31 correct predictions and 11 incorrect predictions, which means the overall predictability rating for <em>Hell in a Cell</em> is 73.8%. </p>
<p id="DX39X0">This increases the overall predictability rating for 2021 WWE PPVs from 67.1% up to 68.0% (204 correct vs. 96 incorrect predictions). For comparison’s sake, the overall predictability ratings each year from from 2015 through 2020 were <a href="https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2015/12/20/10180082/what-was-the-most-predictable-wwe-pay-per-view-of-2015">63.4%</a>, <a href="https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2016/12/19/14004790/wwe-roadblock-end-of-the-line-staff-community-predictions-right-wrong-percentage">61.1%</a>, <a href="https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2017/12/20/16785162/wwe-clash-of-champions-2017-staff-community-predictions-right-wrong-percentage">61.6%</a>, <a href="https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2018/12/21/18152063/wwe-tlc-2018-staff-community-predictions-right-wrong-percentage">58.7%</a>, <a href="https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2019/12/22/21033863/wwe-tlc-2019-staff-community-predictions-right-wrong-percentage">63.7%</a>, and <a href="https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2021/1/31/22258091/wwe-tlc-2020-staff-community-predictions-right-wrong-percentage">65.5%</a>, respectively.</p>
<p id="fKeyLi">Now here are the voting percentages from the Cageside community polls for the winners of these matches:</p>
<ul>
<li id="SVMhMO">84%: Bianca Belair</li>
<li id="AZ2ejV">39%: Seth Rollins</li>
<li id="baAahv">86%: Alexa Bliss</li>
<li id="pY3EAF">41%: Sami Zayn</li>
<li id="BDEXBk">26%: Charlotte Flair</li>
<li id="5WNcMP">88%: Bobby Lashley</li>
</ul>
<p id="0uTFRF">Most community members weren’t buying the idea that Bayley, Shayna Baszler, or Drew McIntyre stood much of a chance against their respective opponents at <em>Hell in a Cell</em>.</p>
<p id="YBxx9L">Charlotte Flair’s booking has been tricky to figure out in 2021, where every pay-per-view match of hers has a predictability rating under 50%. I guess it’s tempting to assume that Charlotte Flair will always win, until she loses, but then sometimes wins by disqualification. Her match at <em>Hell in a Cell</em> gave us the kind of terrible DQ ending that is clearly there to resolve nothing and extend the feud for another month, rendering the match on this pay-per-view as an inconsequential waste of time. </p>
<p id="hze1H8">The wins for Rollins and Zayn also tripped up many community voters. I get it. Sometimes you just have to vote for the babyface, right?</p>
<p id="ElfMMZ">The staff of Cageside Seats had a pretty good night with predicting the winners at<em> Hell in a Cell</em>. How did you fare, Cagesiders?</p>

<p id="7TjVYH">12 unique performers competed in a match on the main card of <em>Hell in a Cell 2021</em>.</p>
<p id="cTqsdW">With that in mind, let’s take a look at which performers have currently wrestled on the most consecutive pay-per-view (PPV) events at the conclusion of June 2021. The only rules are that the superstar must have wrestled for more than zero seconds on the main card of the PPV (sorry, pre-show fans), and typical 24/7 title shenanigans will be ignored.</p>
<p id="ZrlSxO">Here are the active streaks coming out of this pay-per-view:</p>
<ul>
<li id="7ksQoW">10 events - Drew McIntyre</li>
<li id="Rrbaks">6 events - Bianca Belair</li>
<li id="UpZwBR">3 events - Lashley, Cesaro, Ripley</li>
<li id="8sT1gf">2 events - Flair, Bayley</li>
<li id="7gkQWT">1 event - Rollins, Bliss, Baszler, Owens, Zayn</li>
</ul>
<p id="gVDLvC">And here are the streaks that ended at <em>Hell in a Cell</em>:</p>
<ul>
<li id="7UAl0N">10 events - Roman Reigns</li>
<li id="9QDh6Q">3 events - Braun Strowman</li>
<li id="q6wDJp">2 events - Priest, Miz, Asuka</li>
<li id="BE77ji">1 event - Dominik, Rey, Roode, Ziggler</li>
</ul>
<p id="PLlQmD">It’s hard to think of another PPV main card in recent years that featured no more than 12 different wrestlers in matches. With such a small number of wrestlers competing at <em>Hell in a Cell</em>, the list of active streaks greater than one event is quite low. </p>
<p id="LAqwFj">There is a big gap between Drew McIntyre, Bianca Belair, and everyone else on the list. <em>Payback 2020</em> is the only PPV that McIntyre has <a href="https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2020/9/23/21453038/consecutive-ppv-streak-wwe-summerslam-payback-2020-august-asuka-drew-mcintyre-braun-strowman-bayley">missed</a> going back to his win over Brock Lesnar at empty warehouse <em>WrestleMania 36</em>. That <em>Payback</em> show took place one week after <em>SummerSlam 2020</em>, so it’s not a case where a full PPV cycle lapsed without McIntyre in the mix. </p>
<p id="z2P10o">Drew hasn’t held the WWE championship for more than four months, but he’s been chasing it non-stop since he lost it and still being featured on every PPV. His chase will continue in the upcoming men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. It will be interesting to see how Drew fares when (or if) WWE ever moves him away from the championship storyline.</p>
<p id="xN6iXe">Roman Reigns’ streak of 10 events came to an end with WWE’s decision to move his Hell in a Cell match against Rey Mysterio off the PPV and onto <em>SmackDown</em> television. This is the first PPV that Reigns has not wrestled on since he won the Universal championship at <em>Payback 2020</em>. </p>
<p id="0bFM97">What do you think about this list of active streaks, Cagesiders? Which wrestler is most likely to fall off the list at <em>Money in the Bank</em>?</p>

<p id="1bDk6u">After every WWE PPV, we ask you all to rank each match on the show using the star rating system made famous by Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer.</p>
<p id="wHekoo">The results are in from <em>Hell in a Cell</em>, the event WWE bumped to the summer to close out the ThunderDome era before heading back to the road next month. Here’s how our little corner of the wrestle web graded what happened in Tampa on June 20 - and how our subjective grades compare <a href="https://members.f4wonline.com/wrestling-observer-newsletter/june-28-2021-observer-newsletter-hell-cell-review-njpw-usa-running">to Meltzer’s</a>. </p>
<p id="VkHpwN">Many have asked “why Dave?”, which to me is fairly obvious. Love, hate, or don’t care about him, the Observer’s Star Rating is the proverbial industry standard. No one else’s are tracked <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_matches_rated_5_or_more_stars_by_Dave_Meltzer">by Wikipedia</a> and <a href="http://www.profightdb.com/cards-with-highest-wrestling-observer-newsletter-average-weighted-star-ratings.html">other web outlets</a>. You can’t <a href="https://www.wheretobet.net/pro-wrestling/dave-meltzers-star-ratings/">place online bets</a> on what grades other pundits will give big matches. </p>
<p id="O0Egwx">So we added another fan-voted rating to the mix, this one <a href="https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=308120">from Cagematch</a>. That site uses a ten point scale, so in calculating the difference between our score and theirs, I halved the Cagematch rating.</p>
<p id="V2aKOV">Here’s what that all looks like:</p>
<figure class="e-image">
<img alt=" " data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/1pm5Di8mjvWdeAkek1IEVLLM5r0=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22687977/Screen_Shot_2021_06_28_at_10.48.54_PM.png">
</figure>
<p id="SdMl8y">What jumps out at you there is how many more votes the Kickoff match got from Cagesiders. While I’m sure some of the whopping percentage of 5 star ratings <a href="https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2021/6/23/22543219/community-star-ratings-hell-in-a-cell-2021-natalya-mandy-rose">it received</a> (71%) included plenty of trolls, Mandy stans, and others just taking the piss, it was a good match that was generally well-received around the wrestle web. It didn’t top <a href="https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2021/6/20/22543039/hell-in-a-cell-2021-results-match-of-the-night">our “Match of the Night” poll</a> shortly after <em>Hell in a Cell </em>ended. In finishing third there, however, it was one of three matches that earned 20% of that overall vote, behind the WWE title main event in first, and the SmackDown Women’s championship Hell in a Cell match in second.</p>
<p id="LhSPWP">The pre-show women’s bout was the only thing we gave 4 stars to, but that didn’t stop the Father’s Day PPV from getting the highest average score of any PPV this year from cSs (its 3.49 bested <a href="https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2021/5/22/22448850/star-ratings-wrestlemania-backlash-community-wrestling-observer-comparison"><em>WrestleMania Backlash</em>’s 3.43</a>, and ended that show’s brief reign).</p>
<p id="KlwMxa">Differences between our average and The Observer’s (3.14) & Cagematch’s (3.05) can mostly be attributed to the aforementioned trolls, stans & piss-takers, and our Community having more fans of the Bliss/Baszler angle. It’s also interesting how much more Uncle Dave likes Charlotte Flair matches than either of the user-generated scoring systems do.</p>
<p id="g8RYMt">Do Cageside’s Community Ratings match up with your personal ones? Any final thoughts on <em>Hell in a Cell</em>?</p>

<p id="bnHPDQ">WWE featured six total matches on the main card of <em>Hell in a Cell 2021.</em></p>
<p id="TxLWSw">The main card of this pay-per-view (PPV) lasted 2 hours, 49 minutes, and 25 seconds (2h 49m 25s). Here is a sorted list of the bell-to-bell times for the six matches that took place during this event:</p>
<ul>
<li id="RDqhEw">25m 44s: Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre</li>
<li id="MOxLMn">19m 43s: Bianca Belair vs. Bayley</li>
<li id="5ocF76">16m 14s: Cesaro vs. Seth Rollins</li>
<li id="aHFMhl">14m 09s: Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair</li>
<li id="t2dfbY">12m 40s: Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn</li>
<li id="P7D086">6m 55s: Alexa Bliss vs. Shayna Baszler</li>
</ul>
<p id="BsJzqj">These times add up to 1h 35m 25s, which is roughly 56.3% of the show. For comparison’s sake, the overall match time percentage for all WWE PPVs since the start of 2013 is 54.0%.</p>
<p id="Lmp81h">The above times are right in the ballpark of what I <a href="https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2021/6/19/22541252/wwe-hell-in-a-cell-2021-match-order-predictions">expected</a> coming into the show. The Alexa Bliss match is really the only one that didn’t get much time to work with, but then again, one could easily argue that seven minutes is more than enough for her voodoo hypnosis shtick. And of course, the Hell in a Cell matches were the two longest bouts of the night, as they should be.</p>
<p id="B0oISA"><em>Hell in a Cell 2021</em> is the final WWE PPV inside the ThunderDome. By my count there were 11 PPVs held inside the ThunderDome, and none of these events included more than seven matches on the main card. We’ll see how this changes, if at all, once WWE heads <a href="https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2021/6/17/22539393/wwe-return-road-tour-new-set-design-stage-raw-smackdown-ppv">back on the road</a> and live fans return. Overall, I’d say WWE should embrace the more compact nature of these PPV cards going forward, as it generally makes for a better viewing experience.</p>
<p id="lDbCES">Are you surprised by any of these results, Cagesiders? Which of these matches received less (or more) time than you hoped for?</p>
