A Hell in a Cell match ending in a no contest is unacceptable on every level possible. There’s no excuse for that bullcrap ending. Make both guys look strong my ass, it’s ing Hell in a Cell. I would have much rather had Heyman steal Foley’s referee shirt and count a pin by Lesnar on either Reigns or Strowman and just have Lesnar walk out with the title. That still would have made more sense than the ending we got. Really sad when not only do you have Foley ref, but keep showing highlights of his match where he ran back in and continued the match after falling off the top of the cell and getting thrown through the ceiling. Yet we have to stop this match after Brock's temper tantrum lol. Shows how things have changed besides a coat of paint on the cell lol.

Thumbs up for Hardy/Orton, RAW tag, AJ/Joe and the PPV being a NORMAL length. Thumbs way the down for everything else. I'd have to give Charlotte/Becky a thumbs up too. Ronda/Bliss wasn't half bad either. Really, the only match I didn't enjoy was Roman vs Braun and that was mostly because we didn't get a finish. Strange booking decision to end the show that way. As noted earlier, somebody should have rolled over and draped an arm over the other for the pin... or Brock could have pulled one on top of the other so we got a "winner".

Roman should’ve stayed on top of Braun after Brock F-5’d him onto him and have the ref count to 3. It wouldn’t of hurt Braun’s character losing that way tbh, having a HIAC end as a no contest does more damage to both wrestlers IMO.

this PPV fell off a damn cliff FAST Orton/Hardy was way better than it ever should have been and actually might have been MOTN, and maybe top 10 matches of the year. Those guys absolutely killed it....the ending was a little weird, but it also was a pretty cool spot that we hadn't seen before so props to Jeff for it. RAW tag title match was stellar. All 4 guys worked their asses off, crazy entertaining. Just shows you that when you actually give fans a match they care about and create storylines with guys that people WANT to see the matches end up being 100x better. Liked the finish too, a lot. AJ/Joe was solid again. These guys are just having really really great wrestling matches. I don't think the crowds are into it as much as they should be, maybe because it seems like they just throw AJ in the middle of the card somewhere, I dunno. But I was entertained as hell by this one and am looking forward to the next. Bryan/Miz stuff was garbage...neither of these guys is doing anything different...and this feud is now going towards the reality TV shows which is just god awful. Main event was, as i expected, horrendous. Boring cell match, uncreative spots, way too much dead time...and then you just have a giant cluster of people and somehow in a Cell match between Reigns & Strowman....Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins take one of the lamest cell bumps I've ever seen and Ambrose/McItyre were apparently dead on top of the cell....and all this after Reigns just spears Braun through a ing table? oh and then you get Lesnar...wow. Just horrible booking, a horrible end and one of the worst Hell in a Cell matches I've ever seen. But don't worry, tomorrow night will be all about how Reigns & Strowman were LOCKED In one of the most brutal and historic matches in the history of the companyThumbs up for Hardy/Orton, RAW tag, AJ/Joe and the PPV being a NORMAL length. Thumbs way the down for everything else. Can't wait for the show-opening shouting match that leads to a riveting Braun/Ziggler/Drew vs. Shield tag team main event. Another night of me catching up on some much needed sleep lol.

well...i was somewhat right i really dont need to hear about what "these two are gonna do to each other inside the cell" because its gonna be lame. there will prob be a stairs spot, maybe a chair shot to the back...but they're gonna tell us this is the most brutal match in the history of the company

Other than the new day segment, this was a great show. Not one bad match really.

I don't know why you all are mad at Braun's booking. I keep telling ya Braun was never meant to be anything except a big bad monster Roman was handed to make him look tough on his road to Brock Lesnar at WM 34. Braun's brief injury and popularity for assaulting Reigns sort of derailed their original plans. They turned Strowman face to get what they could outta that happy accident but he was never meant to be more than a bit player, and it shows with his current booking. The second Roman needs a challenger for his newly won title Braun's right there to be one a heel again. But WWE has learned some things from their first feud since Braun is now essentially a bigger, more inshape Kevin Owens in his character to try to keep fans booing him, with backing down from fair fights, needing backup from DrewDolph, and other chickensh*t cowardly actions. Roaddogg is that you lol? It doesn’t matter what their intentions were, it’s what the crowd gave them and their reaction that should dictate what they do. Braun legit became insanely over and they should have given the push to him, because he was getting the reactions Roman wasn’t and will never get. WWE learned with Daniel Bryan that if they give in then they have to deal with it more than they want too. And then fans start really crapping on everything they do that doesn’t involved the crowds hero. So if they ignore it from the get go, they think they can steamroll past it. No I agree. Braun should be the face chasing Reigns down, Roman should be shown to be desperate as hell to keep the belt no matter what it takes, eventually becoming a new Corporate Champion on TV because that is who he truly is in real life. I'm just wondering why people are surprised at how everyone except Reigns is booked like crap compared to him. Them ignoring major portions of the audience that don't react how they wish is what I call "John Cena booking". They perfected it under Cena's reign on top, got no real pushback, and now they can continue to push Reigns as the next SuperCena and pass of boos as him being "controversial". And this will last until 10-15 years down the road when Roman is branching out into other forms of entertainment and Vince has another prototypical wonderkid that just so happens to possess the look he desires and can make the kids cheer and the moms swoon. I understand I must not be part of the demographic WWE is targeting these days. I can see that the WWE has different parameters other than fan reactions for success nowadays, like individual merch sales or money brought in from network TV deals or social media trends. I can understand why they would be resistant to branch out of their comfort zone. I just don't comprehend how they think sacrificing anyone and everyone else on the roster for the sake of ONE GUY is beneficial. Isn't the WWE big enough for more than one pedestal?

Decent ppv tonight. I enjoyed Orton and Hardy. I feel like they are more focused on the Australian ppv rather than focusing on tonight.

I enjoyed Jeff/Orton, Becky/Charlotte, and Styles/Joe but was that Main Event ever trash.
What a s*** ending for a HIAC match. Braun and Roman didn't even do anything interesting at all. The brawling on top with the 4 others was probably the only decent thing. Cringed at Lesnar returning.

WWE is truly pathetic. A draw in a HIAC match as the main event SMH. WWE truly thinks that is what the fans want

Anytime 2 guys that aren’t in the match need to run out and do a big bump, stunt double style, in YOUR match, just to keep it interesting....maybe it’s time to consider making somebody ELSE champ
