IWE Hell in a Cell is a professional wrestling event produced annually by IWE, a Connecticut–based promotion, and broadcast live and available only through pay-per-view (PPV). The event was established in 2009, replacing No Mercy in the early October slot of IWE's pay-per-view calendar. 
The concept of the show is based around WWE's established Hell in a Cell Match, in which competitors fight inside a 20-foot-high roofed cell structure surrounding the ring and ringside area. In 2009, each main event match would be contested under the Hell in a Cell stipulation. The name of the event was voted by fans via IWE's official website in June 2009 with the concept in mind. Hell in a Cell was chosen over No Escape, Lock Up and Rage in a Cage.  Since its origin, the event has been held only in indoor arenas in the United States. Each event features distinct matches that carry some variation of hardcore rules. Championship bouts are scheduled on every card, with the lower-tier titles featured on the undercard and the top-tier featured on the main card. Under the Brand Extension, IWE assigns its performers to either Meltdown & Fusion, which cause matches to be set up between wrestlers on the same show.
