I think this card really demonstrates more than any previous year how much Hell in a Cell being an annual gimmick is a stupid idea. Nothing about the build of Lashley / Drew or especially Bianca / Bayley remotely warrants this.
Yeah, but they pointed and laughed at each other, that alone makes it HIAC worthy, right?
Seriously though, my guess is they had no idea it was going to be a HIAC match until they abruptly moved the Roman match to SD, so that's why it feels so random.

So... is Roman just not defending the title at this thing now?
This card looks f***ing terrible dude.

Very good card, like that it’s short so hopefully another sub-3 hour PPV. Obviously Cesaro-Rollins and Zayn-Owens will be great in-ring action to cap off their heated feuds. The two women’s title matches should also be high-quality from an in-ring standpoint and I’m curious what Bianca pulls off in the Cell. Alexa-Shayna will probably have something wacky happen.
And Drew-Bobby capping off their feud in the Cell should be the perfect feud-ender. Not sure what’s going to happen with the result but I’m thinking maybe Kross costs Drew the match?

Kickoff better have THE rubber match between Liv and Carmella, now that they weren't booked at SD!

I have no desire to see Rhea lose to Charlotte again so I think I might skip this. Plus the card just doesn't look interesting at all.

Man, they have got to stop with the constant same matches. Half the card happened at Mania, and meanwhile on NXT O’Reilly and Cole are feuding again already. WWE books like a kid who only has eight action figures instead of a gigantic roster.

I know I’m going to end up watching… but I really have zero desire.

I know I’m going to end up watching… but I really have zero desire. And the sad thing is... Hardly any of this will probably be actively bad. Cesaro, Rollins, Owens and Zayn would have to actively TRY to have bad matches, Ripley and Flair have good chemistry, and the two Cell matches should be fine if they don’t get too cute with the booking. Bliss v Baszler doesn’t sound all too appealing, but that’s one out of six. But it’s just so uninspired, more than their regular level of uninspiredness. I’ll probably end up sleeping in and passing it up.

Cesaro vs Rollins should be good but pretty much the only other thing worth seeing will be whatever cringeworthy shit they come up with for the Alexa match. Hopefully she develops new powers and flies around on wires like a broadway Peter Pan.

Hopefully she develops new powers and flies around on wires like a broadway Peter Pan. I keep expecting *SOMETHING* to happen with her … but it keeps being stagnant. You’d think there will be a blowoff with the THUNDERDOME Era coming to an end, but that would mean they have an idea where her story is going, and I’m about 80% sure they have no idea.

Yeah they really need to go all out with the "special effects" before they have fans there again. Something really corny like an explosion that exorcises her powers and turns her back into her old self or something.

This is a show I’ll still watch, but not live. It’s amazing how fast you can get through a WWE PPV when you skip past all the videos and whatnot. The first match probably won’t even start until 10 minutes past the hour.

The first match probably won’t even start until 10 minutes past the hour. this is a fair play, but I like watching the feud videos because I rarely watch weekly TV. so well TV my suck WWE can still do a fantastic job making look good in video packages.
