WWE Hell In A Cell 2020 (Contains Spoilers)

Ugh... Orton is champ. Guess the rumours of Edge at Mania might be true.
Shame that Drew's whole reign took place without an audience.

Thought we might get a cash-in for a sec there.

Drew has been much better than I would have expected in this run. I did just have a chuckle at a certain wrestling "ITK" twitter personality we're not allowed talk about on here predicting a LONG reign for Drew not long before the match. No doubt I just wasn't clever enough to get the in joke.

I know they have to be there but seeing the big holes in the cell as well as the wee ledges always gives away the plan.

Was wondering why the cell was still up for Bayley and Sasha, but thought that was done well for getting the chair out of the equation. Though why someone outside decided to then leave it leaning beside the door, I don't know. Must be a ref working for Bayley.

Expected Roman/Jey to close, but I guess the title change closes. The fact they seem to be teasing that feud continuing isn't a good thing. Like the story is good but an I Quit match or HiaC match are usually both seen as feud enders, so both combined should definitely be an ender.
Though I'd say it'll likely be Jey having to do what Roman says now, reluctantly and attacking him again later on.

So The Hurt Business are definitely face now? Just putting the title on the line and not having anyone ringside. But then they chose the smallest member of retribution, which is less face like.
Slapjack reminded me of Suicide sometimes with how he moved.
So will Ali ever implement the hacker side of the character again?

Why was the ref going to stop the match when he didn't stop it after Jey choked Roman out?

This was rough.

About half way through Reigns/Uso I was enjoying it, too many monologues in between spots but the work was pretty good. But as the match went on, the speeches got longer, the dialogue more cartoony and the action less and less. By the time Roman shouts "the head of the table doesn't quit!" you already know we are firmly in wrestlecrap territory. It wasn't wrestling, it wasn't a movie, it wasn't a play. I don't know what it was, I just know it was bad. *

Elias / Hardy and Miz/ Otis both **. How do they employ so many wrestlers but still have Hardy/Miz wrestling singles on ppv and comedy guys like Otis and Elias always on a main ppv card?

Bayley/Sasha, motm. But again, disappointing. Silly, overly intricate WWE weapon tropes to the extreme culminating in the hilarious Bayley vs masking tape & 2 kendo sticks battle where they just had to abandon the spot. They worked hard, Sasha bumped like a pinball. They were ambitious like always and in between the weapon spots there was some really good work. The finish though felt flat and came out of nowhere. ***1/2

Lashley/Slapjack, Retribution like Raw Underground very much another abandoned idea left to flounder. *

Orton/McIntyre, called it after Drew won it at Mania, got some angry responses but time has proven me right. Disappointing title reign that started poorly, went nowhere and ended by being pinned by Randy Orton clean. Drew was never the guy to be a transcendent, money drawing star anyway but he never really even got a fair shake at it due to circumstances and booking. ***

I saw an idea on Twitter I liked miz cashed in on Finn and have him on nxt as a total opposite of what is nxt usually

Miz doing promos against NXT wrestlers would be man against boys.

I'd love to see him tear down Finn.

Will be interesting to see if NXT is involved in Survivor Series this year in the same capacity as before, since as I pointed out before they have neglected them in recent weeks.
I guess the build to SS starts this week or next week where everyone will band together. Will Retribution suddenly be loyal to Raw?
