Announcing the results of the match on their official website, WWE said, “An Edgecution off the ladder gave Edge his chance to win the match but again The Demon kicked out. Bálor went up even higher than the turnbuckle, leaping from the wall of the cell to deliver a Coup de Grace onto Edge, who was lying on a table, but The Rated-R Superstar moved out of the way. This sent Bálor crashing through the splintered wood. Edge followed up with a Spear but still could not put away Bálor”. 

“A year of pent-up aggression from Edge led to multiple steel chair strikes. Edge did not stop there as he connected with a Con-Chair-To, defeating The Demon inside Hell in a Cell,” WWE added. Interestingly, this was only the fourth Hell in a Cell match in the history of WWE WrestleMania.
