People were interested in a well built up angle between the two of them, possibly ending with Bryan winning the title at Wrestlemania. And they've completely blown their load as usual and created very little of note in the process.
Hell in a Cell is just a stupid idea for a pay per view though. Not only should Hell in a Cell match be stored for big moments and final matches in epic grudge feuds, but even with them knowing exactly when the pay per view is taking place every year, I don't think they have once been prepared for it. They've never had a feud going at the time that really felt like it needed or deserved a Hell in a Cell match. Which is a little disappointing to say the least.

I haven't seen that much of it, but it's been going for ages and is based on a tough wrestler wanting to beat the crap out of a non-wrestler. After a while, it just starts to make Punk look like a heel. Plus as good as Heyman might be, having guys like Ryback and Hennig carrying so much of the weight in the matches is going to bring things down after a while too. They're just not on Punk's level.

I think them not being on Punk's level is part of the problem and what WWE is attempting to accomplish. They are trying to use this angle to get Ryback and Axel over as much as possible before Punk finally gets his revenge. And I get that on some level, but I just don't think the payoff for the fans is really good enough to make them wait this long. Hell this angle started at the peak of Summer with before MITB. Now I can look out my window today and see snow on the ground. That's a long time.
