They're advertising a lot but will it have actual good matches? Will Carmella and Zelina wrestle for over 3 minutes? Will they unleash new CGI horrors?

This feud started 3 PPVs ago cause of a match that Edge didn't even cost Rollins to lose.

I was wondering why have a Hell In A Cell PPV outside of October when they were just going to have an October hell in a cell match anyway, then I remembered oh yeah, Crown Jewel.

Side note, glad this year they aren't building to Crown Jewel AND a separate PPV at the same time, that always made for some clunky months.


Side side note, they're never going to explain those ropes breaking on The Demon are they?

I'm imagining going back in time to, like, five years ago and telling myself that Sami Zayn was going to be wrestling Finn Balor in a King of the Ring semifinal and I would care so little about it that I'm watching a countdown timer to a YouTube stream instead.

I'm pretty sure Carmella and Zelina did not break three minutes, and if so, just barely.

^^^Yea I think it just was short. sub 3 minutes I think

Also, grats Zelina getting 1 step closer to going to the country that practically killed your father

Per cagematch no

Nattie vs Duodrop was 3:00
Zelina va Toni was 2:10
Liv vs Carmella was 1:40
Shayna vs Dana was 1:25

So it's the 2nd longest so far

I wonder if they're permanently dropping "The Man" for Becky, if it's just for her heel run, or if it's just for the Saudi thing.

Anyway, Becky and Sasha are apparently gonna go without commercials. So it should be pretty good if they get the full half hour to work.

man I kinda wanna watch this over AEW slightly. It's a special situation, Becky vs Sasha in a 2015 NXT Takeover (was recommended by a youtuber I watched) was the match that made me get back into wrestling when I hadn't watched it in over 10 years. Like if it wasn't for that match, I woulda just went "eh that was neat" when the Takeover was done then proceeded to not watch wrestling for another 10 years.

They're having a really solid match so far. Not a surprise given their talent.

I've had the same idea many times but seeing how often WWE completely ratfucks the talent with a moronic finish, I can't bring myself to do it

I think she missed.

Great match though. It's frustrating WWE could do this every week if they wanted but choose to book short lovely matches.
