WWE Hell in a Cell 2014: Feuds That Will Increase Excitement Level for Event

After a string of decent but flat "B" pay-per-views in 2014, next month's Hell in a Cell event is thankfully shaping up to be a great and momentous show, partly because of the exciting feuds and programs WWE currently has going on.

Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins is, of course, the first one that springs to mind. The former friends have been engaged in a bitter rivalry over the past few months, and their feud looks set to take a major step—and maybe even culminate—at the American Airlines Center.

This storyline has been one of best things to come from WWE in ages: Filled with tremendous promos, good in-ring exchanges and memorable moments, it has made for great and quality television.

It also helped elevate both men to the next level of stardom. After a patchy couple of months, Rollins has truly come into his own as a heel character—he’s no longer overshadowed by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon in The Authority. It’s not difficult to see him main eventing pay-per-views or carrying Raw and SmackDown in the future.

Ambrose, meanwhile, effortlessly radiates charisma and coolness in his role as a reckless anti-authority babyface.

He’s somewhat reminiscent of Steve Austin during the Attitude Era. He has the same edge and the same sense of danger that Austin did when he was making life impossible for Vince McMahon back in the '90s.

Undoubtedly, their inevitable showdown at Hell in a Cell will be a highlight of the show and help both climb further up the card.

Rusev and Big Show have also been engaged in some absolutely vicious clashes on television over the past couple of weeks. After months of wrecking everything in sight, has Rusev finally met his match in the former WWE champion?

Well, the booking team would like us to think so. A match at Hell in a Cell, in which Big Show will attempt to stop the monster heel once and for all, seems likely.

Credit goes to both men. They’veshown the required amount of energy and fire in this storyline. The material is rather one-dimensional and cartoonish—as is most of Rusev’s scripted stuff, frankly—but they have made the best of it, and this program has become rather compelling as a result.

In other news heading into the Dallas show: Going by recent television, Dolph Ziggler and Cesaro appear to be headed for a feud over Ziggler's newly won WWEIntercontinental Championship.

While both have had to struggle through mediocre WWE in the past—and even now the company doesn't seem particularly high on either of them—it’s hard not to see a possible match between them at Hell in a Cell being anything less than impressive.

They're two of the very best and most talented wrestlers on the roster, even if the bookers seemingly don’t want to acknowledge it. Give Ziggler and Cesaro 20 minutes, and they could churn out a classic match. That alone might be worth buying the show for.

Thanks to these various feuds and rivalries, WWE has a great opportunity to deliver a sterling and must-see show later this month and help rejuvenate its product. Ideally, it will seize it and produce a sterling pay-per-view that makes up for the (relatively) disappointing television product in recent months.
