High: Fewer matches made for a better show
The combining of the two brands for monthly supercards was initially lauded as a positive, reducing the need for filled bouts and needless padding.
At least on paper.
In reality WWE simply extended the run time of the events and continued to fill them with matches nobody wanted to see. The result was tiresome supercards that felt like a chore to endure rather than a pleasurable, entertaining experience.
That changed last night. WWE presented just seven matches on the near four-hour main show, doing away with the throwaway filler that has blighted recent efforts.
Because there was less to get through the matches were all given plenty of time to develop. Nothing felt rushed, the big matches were allowed to breath, and every match felt like it belonged on the pay-per-view.
Unsurprisingly, that made for an altogether enjoyable viewing experience, with plenty of entertaining matches dotted throughout the show. In fact, there was nothing actively bad on Hell in a Cell, which cannot be said for any other WWE PPV this year.
More of this, please.
Low: Alicia Fox
Seriously, just look at that outfit!
What is she even supposed to be at this stage?
Can anyone tell me what she offers?
What does she actually do?
Quite how Fox has survived the future endeavors call for so long remains one of WWE’s great mysteries.
