Hey everyone! Every month, days before PPV's happen, I share
my thoughts on the show and card and how I would book the show that has
unexpected swerves, returns, debuts, and a memorable show that would leave fans
happy. If you want, you can read some past editions of these by clicking on my
name and searching. I hope you enjoy, and this is how WWE Should Book Hell In A
Cell.
PRE SHOW
We get the usual panel as always with Renee, Lita, Booker
and Lawler. A Social Media Lounge segment with Brian Kendrick is announced
earlier in the day, using #AskTheBrianKendrick. For about the first half hour,
we get video packages and the panel hypes up and discusses the matches on the
card and give their predictions. We get to our kickoff match.
KICKOFF MATCH: Cedric Alexander, Lince Dorado and Sin Cara
vs. Tony Nese, Drew Gulak and Ariya Daivari
The face team all make their individual entrances first, and
then the heels. The match goes 9 minutes, and Cedric gets the win for his team
after he hits the Lumbar Check on Daivari.
WINNERS: Cedric Alexander, Lince Dorado and Sin Cara.
The panel talks some more and then we get the SML with the
man with a plan, Brian Kendrick, to close out the pre show.
MAIN SHOW
We get the opening video package and pyro, and then we get
to our first match, as the cell lowers.
1ST MATCH: Roman Reigns (c) vs Rusev (HIAC Match for the US
Title)
Reigns is out first followed by Rusev and Lana. Lana will
watch from outside the cell as all managers do, and the ref locks the door shut
as Rusev walks inside. The match goes on about 17 minutes, and it's a brutal
brawl with lots of usage of the cell. In one spot, Reigns runs all the way
around the ring and spears Rusev into the steps. Near the end of the match,
Rusev brings a table into the ring, and he sets it up in a corner. They brawl
for a few more minutes, and then Reigns hits a Superman Punch on Rusev, and
Rusev twirls around, dazed, into a Spear off the ropes through the table by
Reigns. Rusev rolls in pain to the middle of the ring and Reigns gets the pin to
retain his US Title.
WINNER and STILL US CHAMP: Roman Reigns
We get an ad for Tapout.
2ND MATCH: New Day (c) vs Cesaro & Sheamus (Raw Tag Team
Titles)
New Day are out first and do their usual schtick. Sheamus
interrupts Cesaro's entrance as usual. We get formal ring introductions. The
match goes about 9 minutes. At first, I really hated that in the end of these
two's awesome series that they just became a team, but it's becoming a great
storyline where both are so determined to outdo eachother that they're actually
ending up being a dominant team. I feel we need to let this team pan out a bit
more before just giving them the tag titles, and of course WWE wants New Day to
pass Demolition's record, which is only about 45 days away. As always, I'll
have my card for the Raw side of Survivor Series at the end of this post, and
Cesaro and Sheamus would get a rematch and win the titles in a 2/3 Falls match.
The match ends when as noted, Sheamus and Cesaro are competing to try to be
better and get a bigger reaction from the crowd, and things get so heated that
Sheamus and Cesaro end up getting in each others face, and Cesaro nails Sheamus
with a huge Uppercut, knocking him down, and then Kofi gets the rollup on
Cesaro to retain their titles. Sheamus and Cesaro scream at each other as New
Day celebrate.
WINNERS and STILL RAW Tag Team Champions: The New Day
Sami Zayn is interviewed backstage. He talks about his
recent interactions with Braun Strowman, and then Strowman ends up walking up
to him. Zayn tries to attack him with some items backstage but Strowman slaps
his hand and picks him up and throws him into the curtains. Trainers and refs
run down to try to break it up, and Foley is there and says that this needs to
be settled, and books Sami Zayn vs Braun Strowman for Raw in a Last Man
Standing match. Strange, but it could be intriguing, and a big stipulation
match like that could draw a bigger audience for Raw. This will either be the
best or worst thing ever.
3RD MATCH: T.J. Perkins (c) vs Brian Kendrick (Cruiserweight
Title)
This match goes into the 2nd hour of the show, and kicks it
off. Kendrick is out first, followed by TJ. The match goes 13 1/2 minutes, and
Kendrick gets the win after he locks on the Captain's Hook with a chain wrapped
around TJ's face, that the ref doesn't see. The chain might sound weird, but it
signifies how desperate Kendrick is to get his spotlight back that he'll do
anything and use anything to plow to the top. It might be sort of early for
Kendrick to win the title, as Perkins hasn't had the longest reign yet and he
should finally get his big win on a bigger stage, but he's a heel currently, so
that wouldn't really work, and the reason about how he's desperate above and
that I think fans already seem pretty invested in him, because they know who he
is more so than all the other CW's because of his previous time in WWE.
WINNER and NEW WWE Cruiserweight Champion: Brian Kendrick
We get an ad for the Halloween Raw tomorrow, where Goldberg
returns to respond to Lesnar again.
4TH MATCH: Bayley vs Dana Brooke
Bayley is out first followed by Dana. I really don't get how
they've tried to build this feud. These two have no chemistry, and that arm
wrestling segment was godawful. The match goes 8 minutes, and Bayley wins with
a Bayley To Belly.
WINNER: Bayley
We get an ad for all the shows coming to the network and
Survivor Series.
5TH MATCH: Kevin Owens (c) vs Seth Rollins (HIAC Match for
the Universal Title)
Well, if Sasha/Charlotte isn't going on first, it's going on
last. And they damn sure deserve to go last. We get a video package and Rollins
is out first followed by Owens. The match goes 24 minutes, and it's a brawl.
Lots of usage of weapons and the cell, and they tell a great story. In one spot
in the match, Rollins gets Owens up for the Buckle Bomb, but instead throws him
right into the cell wall to the outside. Near the end of the match, Owens hits
a PUP. It looks like he's about to go for the pin, but he looks at Rollins,
then looks to the outside. He wants to destroy Seth Rollins. Owens exits the
ring and searches under the ring. He comes out with a sledgehammer. The same
sledgehammer that HHH, who has made Owens the new golden boy of the Authority,
made so famous. Owens runs at Rollins with the Sledgerhammer but Rollins kicks
Owens in the gut and hits a Pedigree. Rollins struggles to get up to cover
Owens but out of nowhere, HHH, who would be put under the ring before the
match, attacks Rollins. HHH viciously attacks Seth, and "busts him
open". HHH gets Rollins up and is about to hit a Pedigree to help Owens
get another cowardly win, but Rollins gets out and kicks HHH in the gut and
delivers a Pedigree to HIM. Rollins finally gets one up on Hunter. The crowd
pops but Seth turns around and he's thrown into the ropes by Owens, who has
recovered by now, and eats a PUP. Owens gets the win to retain his title.
WINNER and STILL Universal Champion: Kevin Owens
We go to the kickoff panel and they give their thoughts on
the show so far,
6TH MATCH: Enzo and Cass vs The Club
Club are out first followed by E&C. Match goes about 6
minutes. Simple; Club NEED the win. That's all.
WINNERS: The Club
We get an interview with Roman Reigns.
7TH MATCH: Sasha Banks (c) vs Charlotte (HIAC Match for RAW
Women's Title
Charlote comes out first after a video package and then she
stares at the titantron for a few moments as the fans get hyped up, and then
Sasha's music hits and she comes out. The match goes 19 minutes. We get formal
ring introductions and the two have a stare down as the cell lowers. There have
been some rumors of Charlotte/Sasha jumping off the cell. No, I'm sorry, that
really shouldn't happen, I don't want to see dead people. The big spot can be
that Sasha goes halfway up the cell, and jumps and hits a Frogsplash to
Charlotte through the table. After this spot, trainers and doctors come down
with stretchers for both women. The crowd boos and they're halfway up the ramp
and Sasha won't let it end this way. She crawls off her stretcher and the
doctors try to reason with her and then she runs and tackles Charlotte off her
stretcher. A brawl that goes all around the arena ensues, and Sasha slams the
stretcher against Charlotte, who is leaning against the cell wall. The two
finally go back into the cell and the ring and Sasha locks in the Bank Statement
and Charlotte taps out. The two celebrate and hug. The cell is back off the
ring now and out of nowhere Nia Jax comes and destroys both women. Absolutely
destroys these two. She would get so much heat for runing this big moment. Nia
puts her foot over both women and holds up the women's title to end the show.
Why did Nia do this? She's wants to make herself known. She's a monster, and
she's sickened she hasn't gotten a chance yet. She doesn't care about any of
the other girls in the division, because she's not like most girls. And yes, I
am a man, and I do own that t-shirt.
