In a new Monday blog, Jim Ross recaps some of the action at Hell in a Cell 2015 PPV.
on Lesnar vs. Taker
Best match of the night was the ‘blow off’ bout to the Lesnar vs. Taker trilogy. It was a brawl with plenty of physicality from both men. The rare, blood sighting was timely and added drama to the presentation without fail. The use of blood needs to remain essentially rare but when the environment calls for it such as in HIAC or the Elimination Chamber it becomes something to consider but I don’t look for any more blood any time soon in WWE. Lots of basic MMA elements utilized in this main event which I enjoyed. Lesnar had to receive 9 staples in his head after the event to close his head wound we are told.
on Alberto Del Rio back in WWE
Not totally surprised to see Alberto Del Rio back in WWE after leaving Lucha Underground over ‘differences’ which usually concerns the two, C’s, cash and creative. ADR got a short, albeit decisive victory over John Cena, who’s taking some well deserved time off, to win the US Title. I’d suggest that WWE continue the US Title Open Challenge with ADR who takes on the task of continuing to rehabilitate the United States Title. It was a good way to start the show. If ADR turns on Zeb Colter then the WWE will have a better chance to run with Del Rio as a main event level fan favorite of distinction. This would be a nice in ring segment on RAW.
on Seth Rollins vs Kane
Good win for WWE Champion Seth Rollins over Kane. A solid match and Rollins continues to evolve into a great hand. Kane is a HOFer in my eyes and not just because I hired him. I alsohad no issue as to where the match was positioned on the line up of matches as many seemed to have according to tweets I received at @JRsBBQ.
on Roman Reigns vs Bray Wyatt
Enjoyed the intense match between Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt. I don’t think it needed to be inside HIAC but it was and I enjoyed it. Great effort by both young men who had a split audience. Wyatt is going to be an excellent fan favorite some day for WWE. ‘Character baby face’ it’s called.
