Overall, it was a great show. 8/10
Wow, looks like they squeezed the first three matches in a little less than 30 minutes.
Also digging that they made Hell In A Cell look like it was carved into the actual cell, at some point.
By the way, does anybody know what was that song that was promoting the upcoming Survivor Series?
Positives:
- Cesaro vs Ziggler was good, but a bit short. This match should've been 20 mins long, with Cesaro getting at least 1 pinfall. But it's okay, I guess, this feud is likely to continue. So, it's all good. On a lighter note... Nice haircut, Cesaro. He looks even more badass now that he's bald.
- Gold & Stardust vs The Usos was decent. Glad that G&S retained!
- So much about Cena/Orton being the ME. lol Even though it's been done a zillion times before, this one delivered just like any other... Had some great moments. I'm not particularly okay with the decision of Cena winning, 'cause I thought Orton winning this one would further cement his face turn. But oh well... At least Cena's gonna get maimed by Lesnar once again! So there's an upside to it, after all.
- Sheamus vs The Miz was decent... Mizdow was just hysterical outside the ring, as always, he stole the match. He also totally owned the segment after the match was over. Like the crowd was chanting 'Mizdow's awesome', indeed!
- Dean Ambrose's promo!
- Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins was so freakin' awesome! I marked out when they started off at the top of the cell, my stomach was churning 'cause I was afraid they were gonna go with the 'fall of Mankind'. When both of 'em came off the cell and fell through the table, I still marked out. I totally predicted Bray Wyatt coming back and laying Ambrose out. I told y'all.
I thought it was cool how they pulled it off, it was super creepy. Ambrose/Wyatt feud is gonna be fantastic! These guys will bring something different to the table. Plus, after Ambrose/Wyatt is done, they can pick up on the Ambrose/Rollins feud again. I can see it ending at TLC (maybe) with the MITB briefcase on the line. I'd love it if it lasted even longer, though, I've been loving their feud thus far!
Negatives + the 'I don't give a damn about this' segment:
- Nikki vs Brie. Skimmed through that pile of crap, though.
- Skimmed through the Rusev/Show crap, as well. Had no interest in seeing it.
- AJ Lee vs Paige. Completely lost interest in this feud ever since the Bellas and Alicia Fox got involved... Anyways, while I was skimming through the match, I think I saw Mankind and Bray Wyatt in the crowd, lol... Right behind Paige and AJ, while they were struggling on the barricade.
Things are looking real good for WWE right now. They've been going in the right direction and got back on track lately. Looking forward to seeing where they go from now on. Should be a good RAW episode tonight!
