Reception

The event received generally positive reviews. James Caldwell of ''Pro Wrestling Torch'' rated the Bella match and the Divas championship match between AJ Lee and Paige with 2 stars each, saying that Brie Bella's loss " adethe babyface seem weak", while calling the Divas championship match a "solid match", but at the same time asking "Now, where do they go with A.J. and Paige after putting an end to their game of hot potato with the title?", referring to the title changes that the two exchanged at SummerSlam and Night of Champions. Caldwell didn't rate the Rollins vs. Ambrose match, stating that it was a "chaotic match fitting the feud", but with "a questionable TV-style finish to a main event.


Aftermath

The next night on ''Raw'', Big Show and Mark Henry faced Gold and Stardust for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Henry turned heel when an argument ensued between him and Show when he executed the World's Strongest Slam on Show, thus costing themselves the match.

). Randy Orton, who was Curb Stomped by Seth Rollins on the ''Raw'' prior to Hell in a Cell, managed to get his retribution the next week. Orton turned face after he attacked Rollins with an RKO. In the process, he was no longer associated with the villainous stable The Authority. On the November 3 episode of ''Raw'', Orton lost to Rollins in the main event. Orton was eventually attacked by fellow Authority member Kane, injuring him (in kayfabe) and leaving him to bleed. This was done so Orton could take leave to begin production on ''The Condemned 2: Desert Prey''. Meanwhile, with The Authority unhappy following John Cena's win to earn another shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Triple H challenged a team captained by Cena (including himself) to a traditional Survivor Series elimination match at the eponymous pay-per-view. Later that night, Cena faced Rollins in the main event. Cena won by disqualification after Kane got involved. This triggered a massive brawl involving the entire locker room, although Cena still stood tall in the end.
