5 Reasons why the WWE Hell in a Cell 2019 Main Event angered some fans
Everyone has opinions.
It's an old adage, and still holds true today. No matter how clear cut something may seem, there will almost never be total agreement on the matter. If you need an example, look no further than the Flat Earth Movement, which seeks to ignore verifiable scientific evidence in favor of their chosen conspiracy theory.
What about something less serious, such as pro wrestling? Surely the disagreements there will be more civil, right? Not so much.
The fans have spoken, and many of them are rather disgruntled about the finish to the Bray Wyatt vs Seth Rollins match for the Universal Championship.
For those living under a rock, Seth Rollins is still the Universal Champion, even though he didn't win the match. Or did he? Or was he disqualified? WWE issued an official statement saying the match was stopped with no official winner or loser, but that was hours after the event ended.
The Fiend was devastated by a vicious Seth Rollins attack, which prompted WWE to attempt to remove him via stretcher. Fans were confused because the match was apparently over, but with no official reason given. Bray Wyatt would later get off the stretcher and attack Rollins, meaning their feud will likely continue, but the controversy continues to rage on social media.
Here are five reasons why some fans are not happy with the HIAC main event finish.
#1. The Finish made the Fiend look less scary.
For weeks, Bray Wyatt's Fiend persona has been devastating legends of the sport. When you're portraying an invincible, pseudo supernatural being like The Fiend, it's important that you aren't made to look vulnerable like a mere mortal.
That's exactly what happened at Hell in a Cell. The Fiend was robbed of his aura of mystique. Seth Rollins's brutal attack rendered The Fiend incapable of defending himself, leading to referee stoppage--but apparently not a DQ finish (more on that in the next slide.)
The finish did no favors for Bray Wyatt, and may have proven detrimental to his career in the eyes of many fans.
