You thought the crowd was dead for the last match?

Yea I saw this on Twitter as well from a big wrestling coverage company. Immediately unfollowed as they were of no use to me. The crowd was great during that match. As I heard from several different people (both live and watched on the Network).

The crowd was hot until the first table spot. Feels like they lost them when it collapsed under Charlotte and they didn't improv well around it. And assuming Sasha was supposed to break the table at the end...that's just a dumb idea. She doesn't have enough weight to drive herself through it. At least not at the angle the table was at.

I really liked the match overall, but those table spots killed the momentum at the worst times.

They seemed to die down after the first spot because it was underwhelming but I thought they did a good job getting them back into it. And yeah I'm assuming the table was supposed to break at the end and Sasha set it up at a ****ty angle. But they way Sasha rag dolled herself onto the table and then the way it transitioned into Natural Selection looked pretty decent.

Botches aside. Can we not overlook the fact that a women's championship matched headlined a PPV, in Hell in a Cell, involved table spots, no one kicked out of a finisher, and it was a HELL(no pun intended) of a match. We got to watch history LIVE last night.

Anyone who watched - how was Raw Talk? I gave it two minutes and it just seemed like it'd be a rehash of the preshow panel stuff, so I went back to baseball.

Is it worth watching?

I liked it, Reigns didn't say anything noteworthy, Kendrick and Booker T had a really awkward segment where Booker T kept telling Kendrick he lost a step, Bailey said nothing noteworthy, then Jericho and Owens kicked her off and just did whatever they wanted for ten minutes

The PPV didn't drag the way I expected it too, but then watching wrestling with my uber-mark of a girlfriend always makes it more fun. Her enthusiasm and genuine reactions sucks me in.

Anyways, yeah the ending was flat, but blame the table or whoever failed to gimmick it properly. I saw tons I've never seen before and Sasha and Charlotte were great.

I don't like being judgmental about winners and losers. If UFC held an event in Boston and the native in the main event lost, would that feel like some kind of crime? Yes, it's a work, but to hear most smarks now days every match needs to be decided by some mathmatical formula. Yes, Sasha going over would have been more satisfying... but then what? We haven't seen Nia in a month, Dana really should be in NXT (she isn't good enough for main but she's miles ahead Kay, Morgan, Royce, and Aliyah). Turn her for Bayley? Asspull a way to keep Charlotte in the #1 contender spot after what, for all intents and purposes, was a decisive blowoff? Yes, they booked themselves into a corner but you can only go forward.

I see both sides, I'm not for a moment going to be mad at a slowly but steadily improving WWE or the wrestlers for a table not breaking. Good match, good (not great) show.

Then those same people complain of how predictable it gets.

That is something I will put squarely on Charlotte. She did not give herself up to fall through the table at all. It was like it was her first time through a table because she seemed scared.

Watching right now. Reigns and Rusev are awesome...but I can't get over the pink ropes at HELL in a Cell.
