This week was the Raw brand's "go-home show" ahead of Sunday's Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, but WWE did little to build to the show beyond keeping the featured story between WWE champion Drew McIntyre and challenger Randy Orton moving forward.

Read on for all the information you need from the Hell in a Cell go-home edition of the WWE's flagship television program.

McIntyre cut a backstage promo on Orton. The WWE champion said that Orton was smart for attacking Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Christian and Big Show, because he knew it would provoke McIntyre to accept his challenge for a Hell in a Cell match.

McIntyre said that at Hell in a Cell, he will go through hell and would put Orton through hell to remain champion.

Orton closed the show with a promo from inside Hell in a Cell. Orton said that his first time in the Cell was when he realized what he was truly capable of.

He then rattled off various men he had defeated in the demonic structure and the titles he had won in the match, culminating in saying he had earned The Undertaker's respect inside the Cell.

Orton taunted him from inside the cell, daring McIntyre to break the lock before the WWE champion pulled a pair of bolt cutters from behind the ringside barricade and cut the chain holding the Cell door closed!

It's a good cliffhanger in a normal show, but seeing McIntyre enter the Cell with Orton for the first time as the show went off the air was a bit anti-climatic, especially when the two are set for a Cell match in less than a week!

Still, both men delivered solid promos, as expected, and even if the moment of McIntyre just happening to have planted bolt cutters next to the ring was a little too cute, the Cell has become a trademark part of the career story of Randy Orton, and that point did get across!

He then said that he has the power to take a laptop or a cell phone and cause chaos with a single click.

That said, having the team lose clean in the opening match -- weeks after a weak DQ loss in their debut match -- and then having the group get taken apart by The Fiend afterward left the group feeling very weak!
