For what it's worth, they're billing Ambrose vs. Rollins/Cena vs. Orton as a double main event. Kind of the same deal with Extreme Rules that had Bryan/Kane, Shield/Evolution, and Cena/Wyatt all billed as main events. And colour me buttf**k surprised when it was Bryan/Kane actually getting the honours.

If I were to guess, the only reasons that happened were because they didn't want the show to end on that terrible, overbooked Cena / Bray match (still kind of inclined to believe the initial rumors that their Mania match was supposed to have been the main event speaking of, not hard to see it in the face of its competition before the Bryan stuff happened) and they thought the visual of Kane standing tall afterward would be more striking to end the show on than to just kind of awkwardly cut away from.

Man, the thought of Kane main eventing a PPV this year seems even more stupefying than it was back then.

I wonder which divas match will get the short end in terms of card placement and match length.

- Goldust and Stardust are facing The Usos for the WWE Tag Team Championship - AJ Lee and Paige are involved in a match for the Divas Championship - The Miz is challenging for a secondary championship - Rusev is battling a super heavyweight who is hellbent on defending America
The undercard of Hell in a Cell and Night of Champions are freaking identical. It's good to know that it has been four weeks of WWE programming and positively nothing has changed.

After watching that Seth Rollins-Dean Ambrose-Mick Foley promo on Raw, I'm somewhat excited that we could actually get a genuine old-school brawl in a Hell in a Cell match, instead of the tepid, regular-ass hardcore match surrounded by a roofed cage that we've been getting for the better part of the last decade.
I mean honestly, when was the last Hell in a Cell match that left its competitors looking like they had been through Hell and back? Batista vs. Triple H in 2005? Undertaker vs. Edge in 2008? Because for me, it's been at least six years since we've had a good 'ol melee in the cell, and I think Rollins vs. Ambrose might finally be that match we've been waiting for.

Man, I half-hope the Ambrose and Rollins match not main eventing rumor turns out to be true, just because I can't see myself not turning the show off after that match. That'll probably rule but there is almost zero chance the rest of this show's going to be any good.

After watching Cesaro defeat Dolph on RAW, I wonder if WWE forgets that there are other ways to lead to a title match.
I hate constant rematches, but I especially hate how the shock of a champion losing is lost in order to lazily initiate a title match.

I think because of the Walking Dead that they will probably have Dean/Rollins as the first main event with Cena/Orton's epic Hell in a Cell rematch for the ages match to close the show. Or not.It made more sense in my head.

This looks like a total one match show.
AJ/Paige... again Usos/Rhodes... again Show/Ruzev... again, and even worse considering Rusev (the heel) was screwed out of beating Show last time and was then double teamed by two large face bullies. Orton/Cena... again, and again, and again... Sheamus/Miz... boring Bella²... no thanks
I hope Rollins/Ambrose delivers otherwise this is a very uninspired card. But HIAC historically tends to be one of the worse booked PPV's.

Honestly I don't see a way in which Rollins / Ambrose isn't going to have an overbooked mess of an ending where Rollins wins. Cena's going to be the one to get vengeance on him, and they're going to want to build it up as Cena having the odds againsty him of Kane and Triple H and whoever else getting involved in his match. So Ambrose gets screwed then something similar goes down in the main event until Ambrose saves the day, and that segues into a pointless Orton / Ambrose feud and Cena / Lesnar leading to a Cena / Rollins blowoff at TLC, probably after Rollins cashes in on him after he beats Lesnar.

{Spoiler}According to SmackDown spoilers, Ziggler and Cesaro are going to be having a 2/3 Falls Match for the IC belt on this show... Which should be awesome (possible MOTN contender along with Ambrose/Rollins in the Cell), but unfortunately, a bit hard to really care about.
