WWE Hell In A Cell - Flops of the show

WWE Hell In A Cell

Last night’s Hell-in-a-Cell pay-per-view was a good one. It had to be as the buildup to this one was among the best that WWE had put out this year.

The main-event of the night has been in the making for over 2 months now and last night, it had to deliver a definitive finish after the ho-hum status around it for weeks.

Then you had John Cena, the biggest star in the company making a comeback, sooner than expected, to face the long-reigning world champion in Alberto del Rio.

Just the fact that Cena, who gets the loudest reaction every night by the way, was returning from a layoff was reason enough for the pay-per-view to stand out from the crowd, but the stakes were higher any way with the possibility of a culmination of the Punk – Heyman feud. This feud too has been on the grind for months, and everyone were curious to see how it would come to a halt.

The pay-per-view for the major part delivered with quality matches and even the promo work was pretty good throughout the night, with the Miz – Wyatts storyline leading the way.

The show opened with an awesome match involving the 3 tag-teams that have breathed new life into the tag division, the Usos, the Shield & The Rhodes and the action in the ring was good to stellar for the most part.

But like in every event, the highs had to have some company in the form of some lows, and the below listed were not among the best for the night, in my opinion at least.

Fandango & Summer Rae vs The Great Khali & Natalya

This match had the unenviable task of following the lead of two great segments, the first featuring the tag match which was followed by the Miz calling out Bray Wyatt which also featured the return of Kane. Faced with such a task, did the match deliver or what!

Well, as fans of the WWE, the good thing is that we know how to manage our expectations and that skill came in handy as this filler of a match pretty much killed any momentum that had been built so far. Fandango’s fall from grace has been epic and the fact that he is feuding with the likes of Khali would have Chris Jericho pulling his hair out, thinking about how he put this guy over at this year’s Wrestlemania.

The match was a dud and while the divas tried to make it entertaining, it was not to be as the miserable duo of Khali & Hornswoggle plodded their way into the match and made it a no-hoper
