Hell in a Cell was pretty much what I expected it to be. Usos Vs. New Day was better than I thought it would be, in that it was by far the best match on the card and one of the best WWE matches of the year. I was also pleasantly surprised by the US Title match. Adding Dillinger went a long way toward making that match better than it would have been with just Styles/Corbin. Dillinger isn't the best worker in the company, but he always gives it 100% and has a ton of energy, which helps to make up for his merely solid wrestling. He's also really likable and gets the crowd invested in his matches, which adds to whatever match he's in. I hope Corbin winning frees up AJ to take the WWE Title from Jinder, because Jinder is dog shit and needs to drop that thing yesterday. Unfortunately, he won't until after the India tour, but at least that's coming up soon.
The women's match was trash. Natalya is just boring and gets absolutely zero heat. They also worked the absolute wrong type of match for that crowd. You can't work a slow, methodical match unless the crowd is fully invested, and they were not invested in all in that match. The WWE Title match was the worst on the card by a long shot. Jinder has just bombed again and again, and it's baffling that he still holds the belt. Roode/Ziggler was a waste of time, as was Rusev/Orton.
The main event was disappointing as well. There was no reason for that to run forty minutes. It could have been done in twenty. I appreciated the Zayn heel turn, but I thought Shane missing the big elbow drop on the table was too repetitive. They did the same fucking spot in his match with Taker. Much like that match, I thought Shane controlled way too much of the fight. This should have been him taking an epic ass-whooping to write him off of TV, not going 50/50 with one of the top heels in the company.
All in all, not a great PPV. Usos/ND over-delivered, as did the US Title match, but everything else under-delivered.
