 WWE had the Hell In a Cell match between WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and SmackDown Tag Team Champion Rey Mysterio from Sunday’s pay-per-view move to last Friday’s SmackDown on FOX and held a Hell In a Cell match on last night’s RAW, with WWE Champion Bobby Lashley defeating Xavier Woods in non-title action.

PWInsider reports that the main reasons for the Hell In a Cell matches being held during RAW and SmackDown, on free TV, was to give FOX and the USA Network something extra. WWE also wanted to try and grab fans’ attention as the company builds to the return of live crowds next month.

On a related note, Lashley made WWE history last night as he became the first Superstar to wrestle Hell In a Cell matches on consecutive nights. He retained over Drew McIntyre at Sunday’s pay-per-view and won against Xavier Woods on RAW.
