Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose's decision to fall off the cell was inspired partially by Mick Foley's infamous fall from the top of Hell in a Cell years earlier.
This event saw the 10th pay per view match between John Cena and Randy Orton, the most of any fixture in PPV history. The others were SummerSlam 2007, Unforgiven 2007, No Way Out 2008, SummerSlam 2009, Breaking Point 2009, Hell in a Cell 2009, Bragging Rights 2009, TLC 2013 and Royal Rumble 2014.
This was the second time that John Cena and Randy Orton faced each other at a Hell in a Cell PPV in a Hell in a Cell match, the other was at Hell in a Cell 2009 for the WWE championship.
