We witnessed two championships changing hands during the Hell in a Cell PPV. The first one was unexpected, as The New Day battled The Usos for the Smackdown tag team title inside the demonic structure. It was a historic match indeed, as the tag team titles got defended for the very first time inside the demonic structure.
The Usos became the five-time tag team champions by pinning Xavier Woods with a top rope splash. Some might think that the absence of the veteran, Kofi Kingston were the main reason behind The New Day losing the match. It might be the reason why Woods took his Twitter handle after the contest to apologise to the WWE universe for digesting the pinfall loss.

The new champions were present on the Talking Smack show, and they gave a hell of credits to the long-term rivals for bringing the fights inside the cell structure. The Usos were quite pleased with the win, and it meant a great accomplishment for them.
Also, Kofi Kingston was seen in the fallout video after the show where he seemed much conscious about the state of his partners after the hellacious match.

Baron Corbin was the other one who emerged as the new United States Champion at Hell in a Cell. Being a main heel on the brand, he sent a message to the WWE Universe with a tweet which stated that whether the fans will try to come up with the hate, but he will continue to celebrate with the title around his waist. The same was sounded during the Talking Smack show, as well.
The former champion, AJ Styles was also present on the show who pointed out the fact that if Tye Dillinger were not added to the match, then the outcome would have been different. So, he was quick to demand a rematch which got granted. On this week’s Smackdown, he will get the title match against Corbin.
