PPV, the best part of the show was the Raw Talk after the show where Chris and KO were absolutely on fire talking to Booker T and Renee, worth watching that more than the main event.

The PPV was meh for me.
Reigns/Rusev - Solid hard hitting contest with a predictable ending.
Bayley/Dana - At least Bayley went over, but below average.
Club/Enzo & Cass - When was the last time the Club won a match on PPV? Would've meant a bigger deal if they had beaten Enzo and Cass the past 2 weeks on RAW.
Rollins/Owens - Best match of the night, both guys were really great.
Perkins/Kendrick - Pretty good, I predicted Kendrick would win.
New Day/Cesaro & Sheamus - Great tag team match, I actually did like how the finish went. It kept the titles on New Day while not killing the momentum that Cesaro and Sheamus have been building.
Sasha/Charlotte - I was extremely happy to see them get the main event, I was saying for weeks that they deserved the main event, and they got it. With that said, the intros were sick. The brawl at the beginning was awesome. The match itself was, ok. It wasn't terrible, but it's not what I expect out of Charlotte or Sasha or Hell in a Cell, and the finish was absolutely terrible. First, to go through all of that to end with just a Natural Selection in the middle of the ring was anticlimatic, and then having Charlotte win, to me, was an awful decision. First off, this means that Sasha gets a rematch, which extends the feud EVEN MORE, when it was already a perfect time to end it here, and now there is nowhere for them to go but down. They REALLY should have had Sasha retain and have her get the hero's celebration in her hometown to close the show, but with Charlotte winning, it not only made the finish anticlimatic, but depressing!
So now what? They're essentially playing Hot Potato with the damn Women's Title now, are they going to keep doing that until Bayley is nice and ready? ENOUGH! 



The women's match ruined the Hell in a Cell PPV for me... Sasha Banks is the most overhyped wrestler on the whole WWE roster. She is one of the worst performers in WWE, so many countless botches in all of her matches and of course how fast she can get injured in a match. She lacks so much of realism in her matches, all her punches and moves look so fake, how the hell can the commentators table be destroyed by the impact of a flyweight? Will never understand why people don't like Roman Reigns who always put up great matches while Sasha Banks hasn't put one interesting match up since Wrestlemania 32. And let's be honest all the Eddie Guerrero moves look so silly on her and she is destroying the big legacy of the legendary Eddie Guerrero with her wanna-be Eddie gimmick. Just like they destroyed the legacy of the Hell in a Cell match yesterday, Hell in a Cell is supposed to be a stipulation where the competitors are afraid to compete in and not like the women who seemed to be happy to compete in it yesterday. The whole women's revolution is crap imo. WWE shouldn't push it anymore further, it's getting really annoying with the division on RAW. The Sasha Banks vs Charlotte fued will never end, it started already in February 2016 IIRC and still hasn't ended yet and probably will never end. Hell in a Cell is usually the place were most fueds end but instead of this we saw another title change yesterday (already the 3rd title change is less than what? 3-4 months?). Why let them main-event a PPV? It was just disappointing. The other 2 Hell in a Cell were much better matches than this.

What did you guys think of the PPV on Sunday ;)

Generally it seems people thought it was Meh to Poor which is a shame considering what it could have been, considering how many hell in a cell matches there was... how many actual spots made use of the Cell for something? Sasha climbed it a bit before the powerbomb into the announce table, KO done a cannonball into it on Seth and Rusev looked at it while he locked in the acolade on steel steps... how ever that adds to the power of the move.. oh wait it clearly not only didn't add to the move, but allowed Reigns to effectly put his legs down on the lower steps to help him pick up Rusev to counter the move... idiotic booking in places for me, with zero real use of the Cells in any one of the 3 matches that they pushed into them.

I thought the PPV was pretty bad. The Owens/Rollins match was good but the rest was not good. I ended up skipping the rest to watch the World Series. I'm not even interested in Raw anymore. Smackdown is where its at for me. The worst part is that they get all this talent, but then do squat with it. Zayn is squandered. The Club is wasted.

Its tough to see talent buried because the cash cows hold onto the titles, and they aren't even doing it in a face/heel manner anymore. I don't wanna watch New Day win through more blatant cheating or getting DQ'd to keep their fake title reign.



Dixie won her lawsuit... cause apparently being insolvent before and after bail money from Corgan means he doesn't have any proof. Except all the "proof" he and his lawyer had. On top of that, Dixie's only defense was "We're not insolvent because we're an international company"... Really? So why did you need Corgan's money? Why are you being sued by 3 different companies because you didn't pay them? Why are you behind on paying wrestlers? I think the better question the judge should have asked "Dixie, can you get your bookings and paystubs for paying your employees on time?" Cause she fucking can't.



The New Day have somehow gone from a great tag team to one that is ruining the product. I get it there's some stupid fucking record you want them to break but when the act is getting stale af you need to change it up. On top of that they keep losing non title matches and retaining via DQ. The New Day look weaker then Mysterio's World Title reign.
Just waiting to see Enzo and Cass lose momentum before even getting a shot at the title now.
And they already butchered Anderson and Gallows potential, all for this stupid record that the New Day don't deserve.

As for the rest of the PPV, it was kinda meh. There was some decent wrestling but nothing too impressive happened. Unsurprisingly the womens match was a bit of a let down in the end.

So yeah just more confirmation that SmaxkDown is by far the better product.



This isn't going to end well: “I haven’t been in the ring yet. That’s the one thing after those 12 years that is probably the most important to reacquaint yourself with, but I’m going in for one match. I’m not going to get into the ring for 20 days straight to reacclimate myself to hitting the ropes because, hopefully, the only thing that will be hitting is my fist hitting Brock’s face and him hitting the mat, so the reality is I’m going to be taken to Suplex City. I’m going to take some suplexes in this thing. Yeah, but it is what it is. It ain’t like I didn’t play in the NFL, dude. I may be old, but I know what I’m getting myself into.” - Goldberg
