WWE HELL IN A CELL RESULTS – OCTOBER 30, 2016

WWE Hell in a Cell Opener:

The show opens with a video package highlighting the main feuds heading into tonight. Of course a good deal of time is spent on the history-making Hell in a Cell match featuring Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair, but Reigns vs. Rusev and Rollins vs. Owens get their fair share of time as well. There’s a ton of Cell imagery, and hearing a Foley promo over top of shots of the Cell is pretty eerie. It’s a very well-done package until about halfway through when the rock n’ roll guitar kicks in and the creepy HIAC theme is pretty much abandoned.

WWE United States Championship Hell In A Cell Match
Roman Reigns vs. Rusev

Back in the arena the pyro hits and Michael Cole welcomes us to the show. The Cell is already down surrounding the ring and we’re ready to begin right away as Lana makes her way out to the top of the entrance ramp. Lana asks America to stand and welcome the true American hero, the man that will crush Roman Reigns inside Hell in a Cell, your soon to be three time US Champion, her husband, the Bulgarian brute, Rusev!

Roman Reigns is out next, and he’s already getting massive heat before his music hits. The moment the music starts, he gets a few cheers, but Roman’s mixed reaction is skewed much more to the negative in Boston.

Cole notes while Roman walks slowly toward the ring, that this is Roman’s second Cell match, and it’s also the first time the WWE United States Championship will be defended in the Cell.

The lock goes on the door, and the ref calls for the bell. Reigns and Rusev circle each other before Rusev goes for a wild right. Reigns blocks it and punches Rusev into the corner. Rusev fights back, coming up with a couple of big clubbing blows before burying his shoulder in Reigns’ midsection. Reigns fires back with a couple of rights, but runs right into a back elbow.

– Following the match, the announcer’s recap the events from this past Monday when Seth Rollins pinned both Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens at the same time in a triple-threat match. They also recap that following the match, Owens powerbombed Seth Rollins into the ring apron.

Backstage:

Rollins is shown smiling backstage as he watches the footage. Owens says Rollins didn’t look like much of a winner after the match. Beaten down, wrecked, broken, those are words that are best to describe Seth after that. Seth had Kevin for three seconds, so good for him. But considering Seth spent the night writhing in pain, he doesn’t sound like a winner. Last time Owens did something like that to someone, it was John Cena, and it took him weeks to recover. Owens can’t figure out why Rollins wants this match, because Rollins won’t be able to prove he’s the man. What Owens does to Rollins is going to make the war that Rusev and Reigns had look like a cake walk. Owens said he’s going to leave a scar on Rollins and everyone watching. He won’t be able to call himself the man, because he won’t look like one. You won’t be able to call Seth winner, but Owens will still the Universal Champion, and that makes him The Man.

Bayley vs. Dana Brooke

Bayley makes her way out into the arena for the next match, and she gets a warm welcome from the fans in attendance, especially when her dancing tube men pop up, of course.

Backstage:

Chris Jericho comes in and talks about how Stephanie will have to be careful with who she selects to represent Raw. He talks about all of the great options that Daniel Bryan and Shane have to fill Smackdown’s team. Foley and Stephanie ask whether or not this has a point.
