Jericho's interference, we all saw that coming.

Watching with no sound

Cruiserweight title match has no heat. Crowd doesn't give a ****. WWE has already made a mess of the cruiser division.

Yep. Kendrick just won to crickets.

RAW TALK after the PPV, it's like WWE are trying to burn out their own audience..

Bret Hart

No one does hold a grudge like Vinnie Mac.

Angron

F*ck off. F*ck right off.

Clegg

Still have a problem with the cruiserweight match. WWE was coming off the best programming they've done in years in the CWC. It got a ton of relatively unknown wrestlers over with the crowd and audience on the Network.

It created three different stories coming out of it. Perkins road to the championship. From homelessness to tournament winner and inaugural Cruiserweight Champion. Kendrick's quest to show he wasn't washed up and still had one great run left in him. And Cedric Alexander being so unlucky in not qualify for the semi finals but showing the heart of a champion by going toe to toe with a world renowned superstar in Ibushi (plus having a WWE MotY contender to boot).

But WWE did nothing with it. They barely get any promo time. The matches only last a couple of minutes and involve everyone on the roster so there's not enough time for wider audience to become invested in them. Raw is a 3 hour show so there no excuse to not give them more time. But their booking is atrocious. Please God move them to Smackdown where they'll.at least get some room to grow.

How long until The New Day break Demolitions record?

Angron

I should be excited for this moment, but I just can't care after Reigns and New Day retaining.

Why wasn't the Cell lowered before Charlotte came out, someone in the back done screwed up.

Clegg

Not quite as big a fan of Sasha as some are. Think she's a bit too eager to go out there and hurt herself. Charlotte is very, very good though. Not as athletic as Sasha but very poised and confident in the ring. Much improved from where she was early on in NXT. Plus she can actually cut a promo which helps.

Btw this match should never have gone on last. I usually ignore the IWC whining but for once they're dead on with it. The first ever PPV to be headlined by a Womens Title match needs to feel like a momentus occasion. This feud went off the rails after they hotshotted the title to.Sasha a few weeks before Summerslam. Title has changed hands too many yimes recently to.build up suspense. Plus the build for Hell in a Cell has been mostly about how proud they are for naking history as women in the main event and in the cell for the first time. That's not how you build a feud. Make it mean something.

It'll be a good match and they'll.beat the tar out of each other in a blood feud sort of way but it'll be wholly incongruent with the way the story was presented.

J. Marston

Sasha crying again.

That's what I don't like about this revolution. It insists upon itself.

Certainly watch through your hands/please don't seriously injure yourself.

Worst table bump since Big Show stepped through one.

J. Marston

Wow, surprising ending.

I think it makes sense within the feud, they both have each numbers kind of thing.

It's just that I struggle to care because the feud is kinda crap.

Sasha's so tiny it'd have to be a drop from a dangerous height for her to go through it or maybe they should have gimmicked the table even more than normal, but I agree it looked terrible the way she glanced off it. Not sure what the point is in Charlotte winning except as mentioned to annoy the hometown crowd. That's two title reigns where Sasha has won it on Raw and lost it at the very next PPV if I recall correctly.

Virtanen

3 good HIAC matches. Bizarre to have Charlotte win it though

I was talking about Charlotte's one where she kinda stepped through it but Sasha's actually topped it.
