It has been a hectic year for WWE, marked by the move to Netflix in January, the recent ESPN deal, the announcement of WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia, and the recent weekend in Australia.

The company is currently set for a short stint in Japan, but as the year draws to a close, it appears poised to break a 24-year-long tradition.

With Survivor Series featuring the traditional WarGames match and Saturday Night's Main Event focusing on John Cena, 2025 may be the first year since 2001 without a Hell in a Cell match.

Insane Vince McMahon ideas that got canceled - Watch Here!

CM Punk and Drew McIntyre collided at Bad Blood last year inside Hell in a Cell, but it seems that since their collision, there has been no feud on the same level that has needed the deciding factor of the cage.

The annual Hell in a Cell Pay-per-view was one way of ensuring that the structure was a yearly event, but now that Triple H has removed that from the calendar, it seems that there will only be Hell in a Cell matches when needed.

Will WWE push for a Hell in a Cell match at Saturday Night's Main Event?

At this point, there could be a Hell in a Cell match between Damian Priest and Aleister Black if WWE wanted to go down that route, since there was interference in their Last Man Standing match, and their feud is far from over.

The Hell in a Cell match is the one that ends all feuds and wouldn't happen off the cuff on an episode of SmackDown, but it's whether or not WWE can hold out with their match until December, or if they allow it to happen at Survivor Series instead.
