Randy Orton is going to drag Jeff Hardy to the top of the Cell...and then put him in a chinlock.

Damn, I didn't see that one coming. 

[C.S.]

So fucking stupid to interrupt one match with...an ad for another match.

[C.S.]

Fun pre-show match. Wish Rusev Day had won, but that team/alliance doesn't seem long for the world.

[Johnny Sorrow]

That was the best Pre Show match I've seen in awhile.

Same here. Just pure fun.

[The Thread Killer]

That was a pretty fun little match.  I haven't watched Raw or SDL since before Wrestlemania, so I only have a periphery knowledge of the "storylines" going into this show, based on what I've perused online.  I see Rusev is still very popular and I see the "creative" team is still doing nothing about it. The New Day aren't stale at all.  Gotta keep selling them shirts, I guess.

And now the Main Show.  To quote Jeff Winger from Community: "Okay...let's crap out this piece of crap."

[Childs]

The red cell looks silly.

[KawadaSmile]

Hope Jeff Hardy does crazy things.

 

Also the red cell doesn't look too bad to be honest.

[C.S.]

I like the red cell.

[The Thread Killer]

The fact that Jeff Hardy is on record as saying that one of the reasons he came back to WWE is to be in a Hell in a Cell match, I fear for his safety a bit.

[WingedEagle]

Battle of the Days was a fun tag match that took great advantage of the new mats to feature some wild dives without going overboard on them.  Didn't love or hate the finish but enjoyed the journey.  A really solid 3-3.25 star affair.

This red cell is not a win.  Looks pretty terrible when they use any camera that isn't inside the cell.

[C.S.]

This match is a dreadful bore so far.

Ha it very well may be,  but I was actually about to say its better than I expected to this point.

I like how Poetry in Motion is more incapacitating than getting hit by a ladder.

I guess I'm just sick of the WWE formula BS of pulling ladders and tables from under the ring. It's no longer special - if it ever was.

[KawadaSmile]

I'm actually enjoying it very much.

[hammerva]

This has been 100 times better than the last time they faced each other in a PPV.    Now that match was a bore

[WingedEagle]

Okay so its not just me.  I'm not about to say this match is anything all that special by normal terms, but given I expected this to be your prototypical bathroom break its overdelivered.  

[The Thread Killer]

Of all the thousands of matches I have seen in my life, this match has certainly been one of them.

[hammerva]

I have seen Edge take the upside down ladder spot before and that was way more painful looking.  

[NintendoLogic]

I wonder if Vince started screaming at the announcers for not calling it Jeff Hardy's championship.

[Childs]

But you have to respect Randy Orton's ability to be equally boring in every setting.

[C.S.]

*Winces*

[The Thread Killer]

I was just thinking that, Childs.  You have to applaud Orton's consistency.
