That's talent right there.

But seriously. What, they were thinking they'll protect those two with THAT finish?

One of your best workers to date in Rollins, against the hottest thing in wrestling in recent memory in Bray, and you **** that up.

Between this fiasco and the Kofi vs. Brock match backlash its been a rough 48 hours or so for WWE...

If I'm AEW I gotta capitalize on this and make fun of it or use it as a rallying point on Wednesday don't let it slide.

I feel bad for Bray. He completely overcame the loser stink that was surrounding him and his previous gimmick due to years of bad booking, came up with the hottest gimmick in wrestling that actually pulled me, who was totally out on WWE programming, back in, and then he had to end his second PPV as the Fiend hitting a finisher on Seth Rollins to the crowd chanting for WWE's direct competitor, all because of the same bad booking that has f*cked him for years.

How do you get DQ'ed in a hell in a cell match, what kind of 99 WCW nonsense is this.

Also you've now killed (officially) Rollins pretty much. That main event was advertising for AEW.

Hell in a Cell continues to be the worst ppv on wwe television since they don't allow them to use the damn well as it should have been. Just ditch the gimmick entirely if you don't want to go at least a bit hardcore with it.

Just when you think this company has hit rock bottom, they find new ways to hit new lows. This genuinly is the worst PPV i've watched from the wwe in years (maybe since fast lane 2016 or 2017).

I'm sure Vince is sweating over Jack Swagger.

I don't know what Vince' problem with Bray is, but this has been ongoing for too long now to be labeled just accidental bad booking.

He puts so much effort in his characters and draws a **** ton of audience, only to get screwed over by atrocious booking every single time. The main event was mindblowingly bad, like, WTF. How will anyone take Seth and his "finishers" seriously now? In fact, how will anyone take wwe seriously after that display. I feel there's a line you cant cross in wrestling and they ran miles over it last night. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Imagine Stone Cold in that situation back in ‘98 after dropping double digit stunners on an opponent. The attitude era doesn’t happen.

Lol at Kairi remembering she's a heel at the last second.

My favorite part of that match was when Kairi did the plank walk across the ring and then poked Nikki in the eyes. Laughed out loud.

They also worked the entire match like heels.

Hopefully they actually let them have some fun because heel ass-kicking Asuka is the best. She's so convincing because she really lays into people with her kicks.

I'm not sure how anyone can defend WWE after whatever that finish was last night. Wow.

I also didn't think Rollins could have a worse title reign than the one he had after WM this year, but apparently, I was completely mistaken.

When is the last time anyone on the main roster had a good title reign? They strap the title on people but then give them the worst title reigns imaginable and it often feels like it's out of sheer spite.

Baby faces act heelish all the time not just nowadays but even during the last 30 years or so. People think of
say your prayers take your vitamins Hogan as the ultimate red meat baby face yet when you watch a lot of
his stuff he did some heel like things that would make Jesse Ventura and Bobby Heenan go irate. During the 1989
Royal Rumble Hogan beat the **** out of the Big Bossman for eliminating him. He also helped take out Sid from
the outside of the ring in the 1992 Rumble. He'd get dirty if he needed to. Austin also was very heelish.
Eddie Guerreros mantra was "cheat to win", baby face HHH still used the Sledgehammer etc etc

A lot of babyfaces will get dirty if they need to be especially in a long feud... I highly doubt that was a heel turn
especially since the rest of the division is heels (Alexa/Nikki, Iconics, Fire&Desire)
