So this Sunday Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks will be wrestling in a Hell in a Cell match at Hell in a Cell. This is big for two reasons: the first reason is because so many people have made a big deal about it and also because it will be the first time two women will have wrestled in a hell in a cell match. So what does this mean?
Traditionally Hell in a Cell is match where the ring is surrounded by a 20-foot high cage that inevitably people fall from. The most famous example is where Mick Foley was thrown from the top of the cell by the undertaker in 1998 and then choke slammed through the roof of the cage. Pretty violent by today's PG standards for WWE.
But now we are going to see two women doing this. Well, while I personally don't think that women main eventing (which is something some people push for) is good for business the fact that the women may possibly recreate some hellacious stunts is great. Women's wrestling has been one of two things since the late 90's; women doing sexually suggestive things in mud or what have you or women desperately trying to match men's wrestling and coming up boring as a result.
Violence is whatever you make of it but I see this as a step forward for women in wrestling. If these two can prove they can take bumps like people like Mick Foley did, women in WWE may do more and more as the company progresses and may even main event some pay per views.
I mean hell, I'll freak out if one of the two gets thrown from the top.
