I should've known better than to compliment a match in this company before the finish. It'd be tolerable if it was their first or second match, but for a feud ender in the cell? After a dope war like that? Wet fart. Bianca/Bayley and Roman/Rey both ended with a dominant victory. They closed the PPV with this In retrospect, giving away Roman/Mysterio on TV instead of actually having it at HIAC kinda hurt it a bit. Would've been much better to see it tonight rather than on TV where the action is broken up by non-PIP commercials.

It was a better ending than Mania… I'd say it was worse. At least that ended on Lashley actually putting Drew down in kind of a decisive manner, even if it was screwy getting there. This was the same finish except lamer.

I did like the HIAC finish more than the Rollins/Cesaro finish.
Rollins is pretty set as a top guy. Cesaro needed the win more, unless they are ending the feud in a big gimmick match.

I wouldn't be surprised if they give Seth and Cesaro a 30 minute Iron Man match one of the upcoming SD episodes to blow the feud off.

It wouldn't shock me if this just leads to Drew winning Money in the Bank to get a rematch in front of a crowd. Would certainly explain why tonight resolved absolutely nothing.

So why did Drew just randomly pin Bobby the RAW before if he was gonna lose tonight?

Seriously, you have 30 minutes of them beating the absolute shit out of each other and it ends on a f***ing distraction roll-up? It’s the most devastating move in all of wrestling for a reason.

Also how easy would it have been to just send Drew's next opponent to cost him the match? Then you have the whole night for tomorrow easy peasy; Bobby can celebrate vanquishing Drew while setting up his potential next contenders, while Drew hunts down the guy that cost him the title. Now it's just gonna be "well how can Drew get ANOTHER title shot" which you can tell both him and Bobby REALLY wanna just be done with this feud lol

Is this considered an old fashioned or old school finish?

We all just needto be glad this shit is over and Drew is out of the RAW Title picture
I say this expecting Drew to interrupt Lashey and ask for a title match on RAW this week just because.

So why did Drew just randomly pin Bobby the RAW before if he was gonna lose tonight? Because that's WWE booking. If you look good on the show before the ppv chances are you're gonna lose at the ppv. And honestly I've never liked that style of booking because shit isn't realistic at all and it doesn't make anyone think "wow 'insert name' is really gonna win on Sunday" either. It's always been trash lol.

If they wanted the heel to win the feud, then I think this was the right way to go about it. Drew is still their top face so they needed to protect him while still getting him out of the title picture.

This was the same finish except lamer. The fact it was mania and MVP shouted “BOBBY BOBBY!!” and Drew stopped there like he was deer in the headlights. I’ll take a holding a leg into a roll up over that.
