WWE Hell in a Cell

  • Smackdown Championship Hell in a Cell (Bianca Belair vs. Bayley): 4/7. When Bayley said "Ref, I'm done." why was that not a submission victory for Belair? Bayley's fantastic, but this felt like a boring rehash of something I've already seen.
  • Singles (Seth Rollins vs. Cesaro): 4/7. This is still going on? Who even is Seth Rollins any more? He seems to have lost his cult, but he's still basically being that same character? Why is he fixated on Cesaro?
  • Singles (Alexa Bliss vs. Shayna Baszler): 7/7. Alexa Bliss has mind control powers now.
  • Singles (Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens): 4/7. Kinda hard to care about... whatever Sami's complaining about now and whatever Kevin's deal is here, when I just found out Alexa Bliss has mind control powers.
  • Raw Championship (Charlotte Flair \vs. Rhea Ripley): 3/7. I wanted to see the big strong girls smashing into each other - big hits and throwing each other around - but they didn't really go for that. And Charlotte was using kind of sneaky and underhanded tactics, which seemed unnecessary. Overall unsatisfying.
  • WWE Championship Hell in a Cell (Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre): 2/7. Again? Why? Still don't care about Bob Lashley (or MVP) and I'm kind of sick of Drew McIntyre as well.
Overall rating: 4/7. The thing about Hell in a Cell is, what's the point of it? It doesn't add any special rules or win conditions like a cage match, it's just a no-DQ match with limited potential because you can't get out into the rest of the building or bring in any non-standard weapons. It's supposed to be more extreme, but it's not. Scrap this dumb gimmick.
