The incessant chatter regarding the classic Mick Foley/Undertaker Hell In A Cell match reportedly had an effect on WWE CEO Vince McMahon. @wrestlevotes reports that McMahon made the decision to change the color of the steel structure in an effort to get with the times:
Asked about the Red Cell… source said “honestly, w/ all this 20 yr talk about Taker & Foley, I think Vince forgot how old the match was. So he changed it up. Like when Mania lost its roman numerals. Just something new.” Also, they did test for visibility and it’s OK. #WWEHIAC

Global Wrestling Network noticed how eerily similar the new Hell in a Cell structure is to Impact Wrestling’s steel cage:
