WWE United States Championship: Alberto del Rio vs. John Cena ©

Fuck you Alberto, you’re a prick etc. etc… The match wasn’t much, tbf. In fact, it was quite bad. These two never had anything that would resemble good chemistry, therefore, I wasn’t even disappointed. Look, I’m not bashing the match just because Alberto jumped ship, I simply thing it was uneventful and with no energy whatsoever. Cena is bad opponent for Alberto, put him in there with Roman, Cesaro and Harper. :) At least Zeb Colter did well on the mic.

HELL IN A CELL: Bray Wyatt vs. Roman Reigns

Excellent battle and top notch brawl, they totally caught me off guard with how smart they worked, particularly the drop dead gorgeous first third where they took turns in beating the living shit out of each other. Seriously, that was a true, good old American tussle with a plethora of heavy blasts thrown at each other’s ugly mugs. Roman was throwing some smashing punches and his kicks looked super painful. Eventually it graduated into a weapon fight which was also doozy. Unfortunately, things kinda fell off in the final chapter, where they fell under your usual WWE logic trap when it comes to how to build a proper closing stretch. Luckily, they ended this wonderful clash on a high note, so everything is fine with this viewer. Amazing match and the best HIAC war in a decade, fuck yes.

****1/2

WWE Divas Championship: Nikki Bella vs. Charlotte ©

Soooo… The VKM looneyville still labels its female wrestlers as “divas”, alrighty then… I watched this because of Charlotte Fliehr, but Nikki Bella was the key here. Was she always this fucking good? Because damn, she was amazing here. Where the fuck did it come from (yes, I know Sara del Rey is a trainer over there)? Did I miss a whole timeline of awesome Nikki Bella matches? Because I sure as hell feel that way right now, after watching this stupendously cool ladies fight. Keep in mind this was maybe the third Nikki match I’ve ever watched.

Anyway, what a great match, with such a mesmerizing pacing and stiff, nasty smacks. Nikki was a beast here, her confidence was coming through in a grand fashion. Some of the shit she did, daaayum… Great fucking match!

HELL IN A CELL: Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker

Good match, very good, but not great. I don’t know why Bork keeps insisting on hitting at least three F5s per match, I really don’t. First half was nifty, though, Taker was using Bork’s face and midsection as his own personal punchbag, and it was some truly quality brawling. Bork bled a lot and I salute him for doing so and pissing off Vince in process. Taker bled too. So, all in all, the match was pretty fucking good, but that’s about it, I’m not keen on pushing it to four star territory, some things in the finishing run just didn’t feel as anything special to me.

***3/4
