It was the final Hell in a Cell held during the first brand split, which ended in August 2011, but was reinstated in July 2016.

In the main event, Kane retained the World Heavyweight Championship against The Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match.

This made it the last WWE pay-per-view in which the World Heavyweight Championship was in the main event until TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs in December 2013.

In 2009, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) introduced Hell in a Cell as a gimmick pay-per-view (PPV).

The event took place on October 3, 2010, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas and featured wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.

The main rivalry from the SmackDown brand featured champion Kane against The Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Another rivalry from Raw involved John Cena and Wade Barrett, the leader of a group of former NXT rookies known as The Nexus.

Since their creation, The Nexus had assaulted several wrestlers on Raw, but focused mainly on Cena causing him to lose several championship matches.

The actual pay-per-view opened with Daniel Bryan defending the United States Championship against John Morrison and The Miz in a Submissions Count Anywhere match.

In the end, atop the entrance ramp, Bryan forced Miz to submit to the Lebell Lock to retain the title.

Sheamus performed an Irish Curse Backbreaker on top of the steel steps and a Brogue Kick on Orton for a near-fall.

Alberto Del Rio cut a promo on how he helped the audience by injuring Rey Mysterio and Christian.

In the main event, Kane defended the World Heavyweight Championship against The Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match.

In a battle royal to determine the number one contender to the WWE Championship, Barrett and Cena made it to the final two.
