Hey guys, let's talk some wrestling

Natalya (w/ Tamina) defeated Mandy Rose (w/ Dana Brooke)
5.25/10

This is a pretty solid match, and a harmless one from a storyline perspective. A nice mix of ground transitions and high flying stuff. There are some good submission chains that lead into Natalya winning with a Sharpshooter. I'm okay with this.

WWE Smackdown Women's Championship
Hell in a Cell
8/10

Just a few minutes in, there are some creative spots with chairs, hair and stairs. Bayley bites Bianca Belair, as commentary tells us 200 times that it's PERFECTLY LEGAL. I do not need the zooms. The moves look good enough without it. Even the sunset flip bomb that looked rough at first looked good with Bianca's bump. There's an incredible spot where Bianca sends Bayley through kendo sticks, then ties herself to Bayley with her hair. I feel like that spot would have made more sense outside of a structure that keeps someone from running away. Bayley hits a Rose plant, but does it on a ladder and messes up her own knee. Bianca Belair wins with a KOD on an opened ladder. That was a fantastic, main event level match with a top notch finish.

Seth Rollins defeated Cesaro
7/10

Rollins attacks Cesaro before the match, which is a great preface to Pat McAfee using the term "piss missile" on commentary. Fast paced, high impact action. One of my favorite spots in this one is the running step over kick that Rollins uncorks on Cesaro. The swing leads to a Crossface, which leads to a Sharpshooter. Just excellent chains. "Rollins stole one." "Rollins got LUCKY" He pinned the man! Clean!! With an unconventional small package without the leg cradled with Rollins', but I liked it.

Alexa Bliss defeated Shayna Baszler (w/ Nia Jax & Reginald)
5/10

The theatrics fo Alexa Bliss look even weirder without pre-tapes, but her offense looks great. Shayna going more methodical is good, but I'm just not into all the goofy shit. I actually think Alexa's offense looking so good makes me more frustrated about the stupid stuff they book for her.Why are Reginald and Nia there? Did I miss a promo or something? Nia and Shayna haven't teamed for a month, and Shayna loathes Reginald. Alexa possesses Nia and makes her slap Reginald. Sister Abigail DDT and Twisted Bliss get the win. As far as that storyline goes, that was probably the least ridiculous thing, and it was still pretty ridiculous!
