WWE Hell in a Cell 2016

WWE Hell in a Cell 2016



WWE chose to open its hellish doors once more into its wresting asylum. Featuring a whopping three Cell's instead of the traditional main event one, and with so many lacklustre performers on the exclusively Raw dominated roster, it was bound for failure.

Coming live on Pay Per View, on Sunday 30th October from the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, WWE attempted to change perceptions and cover lacklustre champions with a steel shield. Would it really be enough? 

Let's find out...


United States Championship
Hell in a Cell
Rusev w/ Lana Vs Roman Reigns (c)

Opening the Pay Per View was the United States Championship duel between Roman Reigns (c) Vs Rusev w/ Lana.

This was also inside a Hell in a Cell structure which saw Rusev dominate and manages once more to push and bring out the best in Roman Reigns but fans are still risk averse to Reigns and his poor management to stardom by WWE. 

Nearly over twenty minutes Rusev and  Roman Reigns really put on a charismatic spectacle with rough and tumble thrills that opened and contained the show for a perfect start as it should be. Reigns retained.

Bayley Vs Dana Brooke

The two random floaters from the NXT division on the main show could not be more deflated. Like Bayley's entrance streamers, it was a poor showing despite the girls best attempts to stand out and make interesting. It isn't their fault but WWE have not got any ideas for them. It was another filler waste of time and Dana Brooke's sloppy interactions with Bayley's overdone hype that isn't materialising as it should is yet another downer for WWE and all its fans. Bayley won.


Tag Team
Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson Vs Enzo Amore and Big Cass

Already bored of SpongeBob toting pineapple head and Joey Tribbiani wannabe Enzo Amore and his towering mannequin, fans were once more burntout by the next in show. To combat this repetitive match from months upon months with no logical structure or basis, was some random team from New Japan as WWE likes to overhype by Triple H's overinflated erection. The pair just like their opponents have been a complete washout, boring and don't fit in WWE. Though Triple H was obsessed with one or two Japanese matches of them and thought he knew what was "Best for Business" as usual with his inherently abusive ego.

The ignorance of Karl Anderson and his chicken leg botch jobs alongside the clumsy Cass and useless Amore leaves Luke Gallows permanently trapped in a tight corner. Once playing a retarded Festus, this time when Gallows has options, he is saddled with flagging donkeys. He needs to go solo and Karl Anderson needs releasing imminently. 

The  match was dire, tiresome, repetitive and pathetic. There was no need for them to be out there. All filler no thriller. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson won. 


WWE Universal Championship
Hell in a Cell 
Kevin Owens (c) Vs Seth Rollins


The "champion" is this.
The most useless "champion" that WWE didn't really want in sadsack lethargy Kevin Owens was another throwaway moment that could not go anywhere despite the brilliance of hard working trier Seth Rollins. 

Gearing for a Wrestlemania match with Rollins, Triple H, who has been obsessed with bloated and outdated 'star' Owens is once again playing games to angle his own Wrestlemania moment. The man can never put his ego aside.

Owens, who once again rolled around on the floor, failed to do anything, hollered and waited for Rollins to walk into his pedestrian manoeuvres saw an abysmal cage battle that had absolutely no merit whatsoever. Tripe H thinks Owens is great and has given him every title as a freebie fan club association. How sad. 

Once again mid life crisis loser Chris Jericho ran in to help his idle friend Owens get one over on Rollins. Not repetitive at all. How entertaining. How obvious. How pathetic. 

While Rollins did all he could it was against him from the star with such a poor and tacky worker who lazes around and needs to feel special. 

Of course, Kevin Owens won. Another non victory with a championship that isn't even heavyweight standards. Plus it is as ugly as Owens himself. Fans left, have left and continue to leave because of this high ignorance. The title, its bearer's and its lack of direction continue to make a mockery of everything WWE hope to achieve which is currently unknown. Like Owens, it simply plods along.


WWE Cruiserweight Championship
TJ Perkins (c) Vs Brain Kendrick

Another chance opportunity for Triple H's erectile fandom of New Japan's little men who fly, saw this god awful championship resurgence fall flat on its face once more. Eyeing up ignorance from across the pond and beyond, with its main stars currently failing to deliver, WWE has no clue what to do. It's a wasteful division, lined up with ignorance on the way and a lukewarm attitude to the motion. It cannot go anywhere and it won't. The design is also made up like a boxing title which further alienates the purpose of it all.

Triple H believes he knows what he is doing and convinces Vince McMahon to throw it all away so Hunter can feel like he is more than the McMahon plus one to the wife. Yet he has categorically destroyed WWE's business framework since dabbling in scores of ignorance hires and favoured directives. Lose the ego.

The Cruiser's, who tried to stand tall, could not and it was a another empty battle that is going nowhere. WWE need to end it by Christmas and resign it once more. It was finished before it begun and has no place in today's current WWE.

All it does is spell out how backward and useless WWE and its 'future' is lined out. It doesn't have one.

Brain Kendrick beat TJ Perkins by submission to lift the Cruiserweight Championship. No one really cared. They tried, but it failed.


Tag Team Championship
Big E and Xavier Woods (c) ? w/ Kofi Kingston Vs Cesaro and Sheamus

WWE once again mess up their own title rules which further makes a laughing stock mockery of the whole show and if you can't get your house in order, you lose the fans. Xavier Woods, who still isn't champion and Kofi Kingston is, defended the titles for the second time.

Third wheel Xavier, by WWE's direction continues to ruin the titles, its show and the whole meaning of the business. Not to mention the match was poor and filled with contempt. The match and its defense, which WWE will count, doesn't count and is a simple waste of time that is illegitimate.

Even with these choices WWE don't know who their champions are or what to do with them. Where are the ratings? The fans bailed years ago, and decisions like this only reinforce WWE's lack of ambition or direction. This is getting as clueless as Dixie Carter, and by lord, that's bad.

The oddball pairing of Cesaro and Sheamus, who wasted everyone's time with the non-ending best of seven series only to form a tag team of directionless extras by WWE's design, was another washout. 

Stale beyond stale.
WWE have no clue, it's that simple. This is not the entertainment fans look toward to interest them or the business in general. WWE really does suck badly.

Cesaro and Sheamus won, only by disqualification, giving the New Day another useless title reign to try and increase their title holding record. Record's are not made by simply holding them. Nor by having stand in champ fighters. People really have lost more interest than WWE.



WWE Hell in a Cell
WWE 'Raw' Women's Championship
Charlotte Flair Vs Sasha Banks (c)

In their continued efforts to try and seem like they care about female empowerment as more than just a slogan, with two of its most tiresome and bland performers, WWE decided to cave in and put the Women on as a main event.

Fans have been desperate to reinforce the idea, along with fandom boner popping ignorance director Tripe H obsessed to sell his ego of the NXT playground once more.

Look everyone, Women can be amazing too. This is no Trish Stratus/Lita era and WWE would be foolish to try and emulate that. There is simply nothing available to WWE at this time. Though WWE are in love with nepotism act Charlotte, who has never been able to be a champion of worth, merit, skill or direction. However, she is Ric Flair's daughter, so yeah, she can have bias, in WWE's eyes.

Well defined abdominal's
Vince McMahon was said to be unkeen on putting this main event on. Triple H has been obsessed with trying to convince McMahon. McMahon caved in at the eleventh hour to dirt sheets online whining for the move, which has proven McMahon has lost his aura.

Many aides in WWE stated it was about "changing the perception of the man to a different way of thinking" Do they heed their own words when the only person to create female empowerment in the business as well as stabilise the entire show, namely Max Waltham, is so often snubbed by egotistical approach? Hmmmm...

Regardless, the action was poor and botch central with Charlotte. Sasha Banks, who won the gold a month ago, who had returned from an injury while failing a drugs test, was given said title. WWE, who still have yet to properly suspend Banks for her wellness violation for 30 days (Injury time does not count) WWE are quietly hoping to brush it under the carpet.

Ah yes, female empowerment. To achieve favoured success through nepotism or steroid enhancing drugs to cheat and abuse the system. Rock on, sister! Charlotte is now also calling herself Charlotte Flair, you know, after her daddy, again.

Stunts
Charlotte didn't even use the Cell and climbed it from the start after ambushing an attack on Banks before entering the Cell. Charlotte threw her into tables and chairs and the like as Sash was taken aback on the stretcher job. Sasha got off and brought the action to the Cell. What a wasted moment of making such an appealing match in a change of main event testing for females. Charlotte simply became a glorified stuntwoman.

After numerous tricks and flicks and poor interactions covered by some random "ooh's" and "ahh's" this novelty interaction was first rate piss poor filler. Vince McMahon is right not to put women in the main event. Not because his 1980's attitude is that women are rubbish, simply because the women WWE have on the roster today are entirely incompetent for that role. 

Yet the luvvies in WWE want to be "fans" and push this sad test through. Verdict? Egg on your face, royally. It makes WWE lose even more value and interest as supposedly respected company that can give and maintain entertainment values with relevant interests. Is it any wonder WWE have been flagging for the last two years in ratings?

We told last year investors should pull out. Never go against us, because whether you like it or not, you know, we are always right. WWE is a cesspit that is failing to boost itself over ignorance, ego and novelty acts. The end result is yet again a pathetic ending to such laughable performance.

Vince McMahon has officially lost his core by caving to such moronity. 

Charlotte, now a four time champion who has done absolutely nothing interesting or engaging, beat transitional darling Sasha Banks. The match was a mess, but WWE knew that Kevin Owens would be no saviour. It was a regular in-ring match with steel padding. Yet they all are nowadays, aren't they?



PPV Rating - 1/10


Men/Women of their matches - Rusev, Bayley, Luke Gallows, Seth Rollins, Brian Kendrick, Cesaro, Sasha Banks


Man/Woman of the PPV - Charlotte




Roman Reigns and Rusev were the only pair to elevate the PPV and make it competent. The rest zapped the entire show and made a right laughing stock of it all.

Bayley and Brooke are non entities much the same as Enzo, Cass and the Baldie Boys Gallows and Anderson. No one really cares because there is nothing to appeal. Writers and producers are so bloody poor and nepotistic that WWE has lost its own emphasis on everything that is necessary to workability. It really is embarrassing and hilarious to see WWE mess itself up from within like loose chickens scrambling in its coop.


Owens continues to be the pathetic mess that will never, ever achieve anything in WWE and destroys all of WWE's titles, its performers and action. There is nothing interesting and ambitious. Why WWE continue to make a fool of themselves is beyond everyone. It makes Vince McMahon look like a complete moron. Vince clearly doesn't respect himself, the brand, company or fans any longer. Why has everyone left?

Rollins is also being pulled down and is now redundant.

Cesaro, Sheamus and New Day are tiresome bores that go nowhere.

The Cruiserweight vanilla midgets should just checkout now.

Less is more.

As for the women who can 'do what the men do' was a sad indictment to trying to seem credible and made more of a mess in that testing statement that any other era or design WWE hope to achieve. It should not have happened yet and proved to be simply lagging nonsense. WWE live in their own world of make believe. They need to open the door to the real one, not just some random whingers on dirt sheets that want some fantasy booking style. They want change, but not directionless ambition that repeats, fails to deliver and can't figure out its success. They moan about Mr Waltham, but they all secretly want him. WWE do too, but can't bring themselves to call. So is the product as it is. A complete shambles that will only pillage its improvements further. There is nothing growing in WWE for now or a decade to come. It's all WWE's own doing. McMahon really, and I mean REALLY, needs to sit down and re-evaluate everyone and everything. Oh, and adding Paul Heyman to creative won't improve either. While Heyman is a genius at making things work, he is the past. He is not the future. He can develop but isn't what is today. Him and the Eric Bischoff's etc were THAT era not THIS era. WWE needs to stop look back and move forward. They never listen and think themselves invincible. How's that working out for you?

You have my email. Until then, the show is never likely to improve with WWE's standards alone. All PPV's since Wrestlemania in March/April have been scoring 1/10 except one which was 2/10. It used to have 6's and 7's on average with the occasional 9. Will WWE ever admit it has a problem? There are serious issues that need ironing out. As of right now, WWE is a concrete mess.


You're Welcome.

WWE No Mercy 2016

WWE No Mercy 2016



Coming live on Pay Per View on Sunday 9th October 2016 from the Golden 1 Center in Sacremento, California, archived PPV No Mercy returned, exclusive for the Smackdown brand. Re-launched as sandwich filler for Joint Brand 'Big 4' PPV's could No Mercy deliver a new era for Smackdown? 

Would it utilise its best talents despite a lacking roster and stand up to Raw as a credible alternative? Or would it be yet another glossed over piece of trash disguised in hype for PPV names only? 

Let's find out...


WWE World Championship
Triple Threat
John Cena Vs Dean Ambrose Vs AJ Styles (c)


Woo-hoo! The title is going first. I for one think this is a good decision. We don't have to wait all night through the rest of the rubbish, let alone wait all night for it to be a disappointment, either. Or maybe, it just didn't draw? Oops!

A couple of cheers doesn't constitute being over. Most viewers already left time years and months back. That is why AJ Styles is not over. A few boner fans are irrelevant yet people will always tell themselves what they want to hear. AJ Styles has been too meek and irrelevant since he entered WWE. WWE, mostly Triple H, are desperate to say it hasn't failed. Triple H should stop being a mark trying to be a smark to get popular with fans. This is not how business is conducted and it shows. 

Your WWE Champion.
Leading up to this bout were weak promos, bland and empty filler. Dean Ambrose did his best to get the match stable but couldn't carry everyone, hence why it was made a triple threat distraction, in every sense of the word.

AJ Styles had his big moment. Walking around with no charisma or style.

The match got underway with chants of "Cena sucks."

It was a clunky start with three way mess, rushed to have quickness in spots to cover the lack of flavour. Ambrose and Cena did most of the work as the cowering champion in name only failed to be an impressive force of action.

Styles once again did his flippy moves as per usual to make an, ahem, impact which lacked skill or technique. It was just another Action Man motion. How typical.

Cena got a quick triple suplex release with AJ and Ambrose but it wasn't that exciting. Ambrose made it look fulfilling taking the biggest bump.

The crowd once again plagued the match with Cena chants of indifference. Again, it wasn't and never has been about the others, who have both been such disappointments to WWE as champions. WWE are desperate to try and make it credible. They cannot. It is beyond AJ and Ambrose needs better booking. 

Styles' next big move was a back flip jump off the ropes. Good to see he mixed it up with another flippy jump spot.

A weakly tepid arm swivel powerbomb drop by AJ on Cena was so laughable in trying to make Styles look like he was anything over than TNA fodder failing to materialise in WWE. 

Classic Cena animation.
It was boring already, but fans will convince themselves of what they want. There were a few moments like every PPV match in WWE where there was no enthusiasm, emphasis or strong buzz. It was standard run through with everyone having their spot moment. How sad.

Next came the same tired out routine of AJ Styles roll up reversing with the Small Package and some hot moments of ooh-ahh ending in both on the mat. Cena was above the pair and dropped the 5 Knuckle Shuffle on both, so meekly that gets Cena no respect whatsoever with fans today.

Cena almost took it home with an Attitude Adjustment on Dean Ambrose as we are told he ould equal ignorant old hag Ric Flair's 16 time championship record. Is that meant to be great? Losing it 15 times?

Fans tried to delude themselves which only further destroys the product chanting "This is Awesome" when barely anything 'Awesome!' happened and was simply cheap spot monkey jumping spots. Well, WWE has lost scores of viewers. The Indy Darlings are all Vince has left.

Cena held on the No Pressure STF as Ambrose tried to stop AJ tapping. The pair fought as AJ stirred to. The gapping issues on the clutch hold were once again, diabolical. 

Cena powerbombed Ambrose for two as AJ did a top rope jump once again. Cena and AJ did a number of reverses as AJ had a leg lock on Cena. It was very poorly worked through. Ambrose broke it up with an elbow.

Double Tap
Ambrose came back and leg locked Styles, who whined like a girl. It was all very repetitive. Cena also returned and clasped on the STF in an absurd choice, as Dean Ambrose had a submission locked on to tap out AJ Styles. The weakling 'champion' AJ Styles tapped to both Dean Ambrose and John Cena.



The crowd were upset of the swerve lunacy, rightly so. The choice was a barmy one at that. If Super Cena wanted to win why jump into a hold with Ambrose? Even his bounce comedy jump into the hold was entirely unbelievable. How WWE expect fans to swallow this choices is beyond everyone. These choices have been going on and never changed. Fans already wised up. All that are left are those in desperation hoping Indy luvvies get their turn in the big time. A big time with washed up failings who are the pick of the slim pickings job squad. Ouch!

The both traded blows as the referee sort of restarted the match without a clear indication it was. What a mess. Fans were somewhat clueless as if it was just an after fight or a continued match.

Dirty Deeds by Ambrose on Cena was halted by weedy AJ outside pulling out the ref. Ambrose flung himself at Ambrose outside and threw him over the announce tables.

Cena top rope dropped Ambrose as AJ Styles pinned John Cena after a chair jab. LOL. AJ Styles double tapped out and then needed distractions and chair jabs to win. Could he be any weaker? This is the champion? Pathetic. Why on Earth did WWE put it on him in the first place? Neither really wanted AJ Styles or Kevin Owens as their main champs but do it anyway? How desperate can they get at destroying their own product? Yet they still keep them on them. It would have been better to even give useless Cena back the gold or Ambrose again. Ambrose needs better booking but is always red hot as challenger. Perhaps WWE think this is best for him. Rushed alternatives and decisions in the first place are no solution to such problems.


Nikki Bella Vs Carmella

Carmella's whining like a cat is still the WWE standard of Divas matches pretending to be Women's now. We are also told what was reported before the show.

Becky Lynch sustained injury and will NOT defend last fortnight's Smackdown Women's title or whatever it is. Makes you wonder why it was introduced to begin with.

Carmella's arm locks were a little weak but she does show promise. She is still a little too green and lost in the ring. She tried to command the stage herself which again has promise but needs real depth to her character and reasoning to be in there with Nikki other than, because she needs a match. 


Carmella has options but is just way too green under these booking standards. Such a waste. It's not taking off as she should. She should be a slow burner building up and developing, which she is capable of more than others. She also has a good look about her that could appeal to fans if WWE got smart about its choices and forever lacking creativity. They make it up as they go along.


A Bella Buster by Nikki was cheaply walked into which proves how dumbed down the division is and lacking depth in wrestling principals in general. It was randomly unappealing.

Carmella's flexible leg lock saw Nikki gain the John Cena super-strength to beat the odds and break the count. Carmella screamed while using weak arm slaps as pitter patter with no effect. Nikki Bella dropped the "Rack Attack 2.0" (whatever that is) to drop Carmella and win this empty match which was a decent stop gap but had no real buzz about it. It was just there, to fill in the PPV cracks. If anyone needed the win to continue this feud it was Carmella. It was understandable, however, why WWE chose Nikki. 


Eww! Maryse's make up looks old and rotten. As well as looking like a hooker on 5th Avenue. The Miz spoke with the GM Daniel Bryan and Commissioner Shane McMahon to gloat and mock Dolph Ziggler's upcoming departure from WWE.


WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship
Heath Slater and Rhyno (c) Vs The Uso's

The Uso's desperately need a real gimmick than all of this again and again and again. They are boring but needed.

Cryme Tyme 2.0?
Heath played his game of help the aged today.

It was standard match booking with Heath Slater the favourite, waiting for a hot tag. Eventually he got it and gave it back to Rhyno who landed the Gore. Rhyno and Heath Slater retain the worthless titles in another empty win.

By the way, those tag belts are not legitimate. You can't just 'Make' titles. The Raw Tag Titles are the only ones where no unification or separation was legitimately introduced. Exactly like the Women's title or Universal tile. Dumb WWE again.

When they exist they must be cancelled out/unified/formally separated to be brand split exclusive. WWE just 'do whatever' and hope for the best. Hope is, comforting.

Oh, and to top it all...

...Heath Slater taped out by accident before the win by Rhyno in a submission lock by one of The Uso's where they technically won the titles, fully in front of the referee and TV camera. Oh Vince. What a mega balls-up, babe!

David Otunga had to utter damage limitation with a statement. "Whether you believe he tapped or not he never reached the rope" to which others debated he did  moments later. The comments and the happenings made no sense whatsoever, as is standard practice in WWE matches.

Aye, aye, aye...!


Jack Swagger Vs Baron Corbin

Raw draftee to make the numbers Jack Swagger and Barry Corbin get upgraded from Pre-Show to main show. Welcome to jobberville.

2016 -Baron Corbin is the chosen one! 2017 - Baron Corbin is future endeavoured. 

You can see why these two are always on Pre-Shows or Superstars/ Main Event.

Baron Corbin won. It was a sheer waste of time. Instead The Vaudevillians, American Alpha and other taggers were relegated to the Pre-Show. WWE have two excellent tag teams in waiting and reservedly hate them so. WWE is its own private joke, which they fail to get.


Career Vs Title
Intercontinental Championship

Dolph Ziggler Vs The Miz (c) w/ Maryse

• If Dolph Ziggler loses he will retire

Yes it has flips and spills, but I'm bored. That was the feel of many, including this writer. It lacked something more and was filled with the air of mystery which appealed a tad but the in-ring action was loose and all too gimmicky to please simple folk.

It felt mind-numbingly inducting intoxication.

The Miz later put the Figure Four Leg Lock on Dolph.

These cameramen are crap nowadays. How hard is it to zoom ffs? During this long hold they decided to miss most of the key moments. This is after a week ago on Raw where homophobia was still rife in failing to get close ups on the action as Cesaro was on th mat because they didn't want to see an eyeful of something else. That isn't your call to make and the action should not be neglected where zoom's on wrestling principals count.

Maryse interferes once again (Yawn!) as The Miz opens the turnbuckle pads. Ziggler gets the better of him but soon smacks on the exposed turnbuckle. Miz gets a close 2 fall.

Kick miss, followed with a Zig Zag for a close two on The Miz comes after.

Mikey and Kenny return :)
Quick counters and motions by Ziggler with a Sleeper wrap on The Miz. After a while Miz reaches the rope to break through. 

Maryse quickly sprays Dolph Ziggler in the face (Zzzzz) with perfume but Dolph gets the foot on the bottom rope to add some buzz to the battle. 

The Miz gets Dolph's boot instead of feet. Superkick from Dolph.

The Spirit Squad pals Kenny and Mikey arrive as Marsye calls them. Dolph superkick's them down as The Miz gets a near fall. 

The Miz gets nailed by Dolph Ziggler shortly after in the kerfuffle to lose the Intercontinental Championship to Dolph Ziggler's fifth and most desperately needed title reign. Shock! He isn't leaving. Dirt Sheets got that wrong. (That's because WWE mailed them red herrings and they idiotically took the bait.) WWE's smirk will be wide and large. Though the ratings will wipe it from them.

All that for an Intercontinental title? Bit lame in comparison.



Afterwards we say Randy Orton prepare for his upcoming match in the lavatory. Oooh! LOL The most laughable joke by WWE again happened when the mirror Randy looked into suddently warped like a wormhole from Donnie Darko, only crapper. It was in teh right place, then.



It was to mimic previous years on Smackdown when Randy became involved in deceptive visions of 'mind games' when The Undertaker put the willies up him. This is TNA standard crap Vince. LOLLLLLLLZZ! Today's version was no paths on Undertaker's incomparable distortions. 



Curt Hawkins has returned after being released. Why, oh why? That kickoff promo was dire. WWE are so brainless today. We had to be reminded, of course. Thanks, WWE. 



The Pre-Show was discussed. No-one cared.



WWE 'Smackdown' Women's Championship 
Alexa Bliss Vs Becky Lynch (c)

Naomi comes out instead. Naomi's funky entrance was a real highlight in building the scene and crowd positively.

WWE was again so lazy it can't even remember that Alexa Bliss should be named winner by forfeit. Another lost angle. So wasteful.

Why did Becky get given the title our weeks ago, seemingly like a fortnight only? She can't even play. She should have been stripped of the 'gold' and had it upheld. WWE still too weak and fail to make it work by these lingering indecision. The Smackdown Women's title is again illegitimate and doesn't even exist. It is still the Women's championship on 'Raw'. WWE fail to learn or even think. They should scrap it immediately but they will never listen. It can only get worse the longer it is around. It is what is known as a pure farce.

WWE let one of its supposed key title's be held up for another month. They can never ever make or take any action or decisions anymore. Weak and pathetic.


Alexa Bliss Vs Naomi

Naomi beats Alexa Bliss by three fall. It was a good match but could never beat being a filler insertion. These are more harmful than not being on the card initially. WWE think it is ground breaking protection.

While Naomi was the better option and needed to win, how is Alexa Bliss supposed to get over? Challenger, cancelled match and loss to random plus one? Hmmmm... 

She threw a fit rolling around on the ground like a spoilt bratty girl. It was stupid booking once again, despite Bliss' efforts to make entertaining. What Dana Brooke is to Raw, Alexa Bliss is to Smackdown. Some Divas Revolution. 


Randy Orton Vs Bray Wyatt

You Ain't me. You never will be. Only a fool would try to mimic. You'll always lose Karma's a b!tch. You're Welcome!

Fortnightly PPV's have become so random and boring now that have zapped the buzz of it all. As we foretold and explained the Brand Split is causing more problems than solutions.

To top it all, many believed a human form of Sister Abigail would appear, as a figure was seen passing underneath the ring. Many believed WWE were planning Sister Abigail to arrive. Helpful viewer Ashley Clarke also confirmed fans watching live saw it "during the video package."

It was another great match put on by Randy Orton, who always attempts to make his opponents grow into a new role for themselves, despite being misinterpreted by fans of his talents no other in WWE has.

Though Randy cannot make everyone work well on his own. While Bray Wyatt tried the match was too long with much lacking structure. It became boring and empty despite Randy's excellent efforts to sell Wyatt as a growing force trying to stay relevant. This was largely down to the mis-appreciated talents of Orton once again, as WWE's five star worker, whether liked or not.


After back and forth action with no much to speak of, the lights went out and returned on. A figure stood before Randy Orton making him freeze in disbelief. It was... Luke Harper! Oh...

As a result of the distraction, where nothing really happened and Luke just stood there, Bray Wyatt snuck up on Randy Orton to beat him to close the PPV on another sour note.

Luke Harper returned and WWE told the entire online community Luke Harper would re-join the Raw brand. Harper was drafted to Smackdown originally. If only the fans thought about these things. WWE are laughing at 'getting one over' on the fans again. Though fans don't like being made fools of. Though Vince and WWE have always had contempt for such fans. 

Sister Abigail was seemingly nixed for Luke Harper. Many were unhappy that Sister Abigail would appear and did not want an actual human to take the role. They were also slightly miffed that Bray Wyatt still could not win a match without extra inclusion of others. Wyatt will never get over. WWE have squandered many an opportunity. It has taken too long, been treated with egotistical misplacement and attempts to use it as a mocking mechanism to Max Waltham, who really does not care about that sort of thing. For Wyatt, as a failed concept of Max Waltham with WWE distortion has proven to be the grandest failure. 

You Ain't me.

With that, it was a great waste of three hours, despite the roster really trying to make the show work. It is always WWE that books the problem. If only Triple H could put his ego aside. Don't hope any time soon. He still fails to realise all his attempts to stand tall as WWE booker/creative/hirer are failing. Every single one of Triple H's decisions on the 'business side' for WWE have been epic failures. Every, single, one, of , them. He hates that, but he is the only one who has done it to himself. When he decides to grow up and be a mature businessman perhaps time will change. How long have we got? 


Go figure. Ignorance is not a virtue.




PPV Rating - 2/10


Men/Women of their matches - Dean Ambrose, Nikki Bella, Jimmy Uso, Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler, Alexa Bliss, Naomi, Randy Orton


Man/Woman of the PPV - Dolph Ziggler



As the second exclusive PPV for Smackdown since the Brand Extension, Smackdown and WWE have entered yet another poor performance. Perhaps they feel Brand Exclusivity will save the ratings. The ratings will further decline we stated (as proved since) when separating exclusive stars from fans chosen source of entertainment. The problem was never where but who and how WWE select and create for, or not.

WWE's ego is always the problem. The moment they look objectively with a business frame, they may learn. They think loads of money will protect them. Yeah... Sure.


WWE are not invincible. They are slowly learning this. What future legacy will be left for Vince's business empire? Does he even care? Triple H has proven to be no successor and fails to even get those who will help on board through his own stubborn hate.

If WWE looked properly, they would finally have it so easy and ride the wave higher once again. It is a downward spiral for the as of now until an unknown point in time. It is doubtful it will recover.

Lack of details, ignorant hires, hateful egos and lack of quality have dipped WWE's course more than ever before.

WWE should end the Brand Extension by Christmas. By then it should figure out who to put forward and who to expel for mass failings that have drastically destroyed WWE's future, ratings and entertainment worth. There really can be no excuse and the more Vince McMahon feeds the idea of see how it goes will only destroy further. The stubborn old goat needs to retract if ever to succeed in the 'New Era'. Can he put his sh*t aside for the company? Hmmm... Since when did WWE become so weak?


Dean Ambrose needs better writing and options to survive, let alone be champion. We told of this a year ago and here we are. Ambrose is typecast and fighting to stay interesting after being World Champion. Rushing stars and failing to write for them with strong options has proven such travesty. Ambrose can only do so much but was a fish out of water against the Golden Boy John Cena and the 'I can only jump' with five moves, AJ Styles. TNA's failed concept at getting over for ten years has finally brought his Action Man credentials to WWE. How's that working out for ya? Not very well. But.. but.. I like AJ Styles. That can be no excuse for in-ring failures and lack of materialising worth. This is not a pic 'n' mix sweetie shop. WWE have now tainted their title among everything else. He has to go just like the other random blob sapping WWE's audience. With the ratings drop it is quite absurd that WWE still think AJ Styles is capable as champion to please the fandom minority.

The Uso's and the Tag division is another mess that when separated ares till relegated to nothingness. Even the rest are flung into obscurity on the pre show and the titles are ugly. None of it will get over. WWE never can and have to do things properly.


Same goes for the 'Women's thing title'. It is irrelevant if Becky Stink Lynch has an "undisclosed" injury. The title has to be moved on. Looks like borderline ignorance has caught up with her. PWG. Pretty Wrong Girl!

Dolph Ziggler was the man of the night. He can finally say he has something in his career to be proud of. Yet it was a match beating cheats against, of all people The Miz, for a secondary title that is cursed beyond belief. The jobber WWE want to have something to try and convince the fans it is kind and keep things interesting on Smackdown because they have no one to move the title to. The Miz had grown stale since he won it a Wrestlemania. It was okay, but when properly analysed, was barely a touch on WWE classics or general good feel 'stuff' WWE is so often missing. Dolph Ziggler would not re-sign last year to spend it all on Total Divas. Though that might be a better option. If only he didn't lose Bella to Cena.

Nikki Bella and Carmella worked well with their short time but need more depth and workable layouts. 

Naomi and Alexa Bliss are also attempting to help fit in and stricture Smackdown but is always viewed as less than by WWE. The pair also need more depth in their matches as they can only be given short ones to protect them with lacking options. 

Becky Lynch has proven her worth since Triple H favourite was given title for NXT over sell. She's an abysmal failure who could never win and now can't be a champion. Excellent!

Baron Corbin won. Who the hell is he? Why should we even care. What a categorical Roman Reigns-esq failure. Move on.

Randy Orton once again shone but was stalled by weird instances outside of Bray Wyatt's character and WWE's idiotic TNA booking style.  Bray Wyatt is never getting over and is another lost cause WWE have tampered with too often and failed to get started. There is nothing he can do to make it.

Dis PPV got's Triple H's TNA standards again. HaHaHA! What a joke it is. Drop. Ratings. Drop. So cheap and pitiful.

It gave buzz and feel of the night but it was still somewhat plain and vanilla. The momentum was built up well but lacked parts of wrestling instead of all the filler parts. 

When PPV's that used to be 6,7,8 or 9 now garner 1's and 2's what crisis point do you really need to figure out the product is failing on a monumental scale? Well, it's your show, isn't it? Good luck with that. Sort it out. Now! Call me!
You're Welcome!
