The main event of WWE’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view left fans outraged on Sunday night, as the Hell in a Cell bout between Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt was thrown out by the referee after Rollins whacked “The Fiend” with a sledgehammer. The boos in the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento were deafening, as many fans were hoping to see Wyatt capture the WWE Universal Championship after months of buildup. Wyatt quickly recovered from the attack and put Rollins in the Mandible Claw to close out the show, but it was too little too late. Fans even went so far as to chant “AEW,” mere days after AEW Dynamite had beaten NXT in the ratings in their premiere on Wednesday night.

Many fans then took to Twitter to voice their frustration over the booking decision. It may be quite some time before Wyatt gets another shot at Rollins, since he’s already booked for a 10-man tag match at Crown Jewel and, if recent history is any indication, he’ll be in a Champion vs. Champion match at Survivor Series.
When the PPV goes off the air 40min earlier than youโre accustomed to, thereโs a DQ finish in a no-DQ match men have nearly died in and you kill Sethโs finisher at the same time you kill a hyped monster… youโre gonna have a bad time. #HIAC pic.twitter.com/yCC0mbi9kC

That’s Never a Good Comparison
I really never try to use hyperbole. I hate it. And I love WWE. But I think we just saw an all-clunker WWE PPV main event. I just watched Russo winning the the title on Nitro last night. It feels like that.

What Are The Rules?
Can someone explain how Mick Foley fell off a cell and it was fine but Seth beating up Bray with weapons constitues a DQ? #HIAC now means nothing just like last year when Braun lost his MITB contract in a no contest. Like, WHAT?!

Loud Noises!
WHY DO THEY ALWAYS DO THIS TO BRAY WYATT WHEN HE’S CONSISTENTLY ONE OF THE COOLEST CHARACTERS IN WRESTLING?!
