Triple H has been making a lot of changes to the roster since he was anointed head of creative in WWE. It appears the next job on The Game's to-do list is rearranging the company's premium live event schedule. Elimination Chamber was confirmed to be coming back to North America earlier this week, and it also seems like Day 1 has been canceled, possibly due to the NFL games it will potentially clash with.
Hell In A Cell Is "Completely Dead"
Also on Triple H's premium live event cut list is Hell in a Cell. That's according to WrestleVotes in a new report via GiveMeSport. According to the report, WrestleVotes, a typically reliable wrestling source, is of the belief WWE's Hell in a Cell event is “completely dead”. The news comes at around the same time the PLE would typically take place each year.

The event built around what might be WWE's most famous match began in 2009 and has taken place once a year, every year since then, including a few months ago. In fact, 2022's Hell in a Cell was one of the last PLEs to take place before Vince McMahon retired. The show was headlined by Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes as the latter battled through a painful-looking torn pec to win the match.
The Match Will Remain
Although this year and last year's Hell in a Cell events were held in June, every other one to come before it took place in October, with the exception of 2018 when it went down in September. Hence the expectation that the event might have been back at some point this month. Triple H and WWE have gone with Extreme Rules instead, confirming not all events themed after a particular match type will be scrapped under the new regime.
Just because the Hell in a Cell event appears to have bit the dust, that doesn't mean the match it is modeled after will be retired. Triple H has a long relationship with Hell in a Cell, so it's very unlikely he would be the one to get rid of it. Having it potentially pop up at any time of the year rather than needing to save it for the show named after it has to be considered a wise move if that really is the plan moving forward, though.
