If you think about it, if Cody took doctor's advice, then this show would not be worth talking about. The Major news of course, was Cody being injured with a torn Pectoral muscle, we didn't know if Cody would make the main event, so there was a lot of video packages and padding in this show.
We start in strong order with the Triple Threat for the Raw Women's Championship: Bianca Belair the champion defending against Becky Lynch and Asuka.
Say it with me now!
3 Women.
One Fall to a finish.
LAAAAAAAAZY BOOKING!
Case in Point the match was 2 of the 3 working as the other was thrown outside to wait her turn. Now thus match was nicely worked, these 3 are the top female stars in WWE, arguably the world. But multi matches don't do anyone any favours. Bianca retains in a heelish way, taking advantage of Becky's Manhandle Slam to pin Asuka. Is there a turn on the future?
So I said there was a long of padding in this show and one of those padding was a MVP Diss Rap to Bobby Lashley, one of the lines was "You maybe Bobby, but I have the Brain like Heenan" Even now we show all the love for Bobby Heenan, one of the greats!
This match wasn't!
MVP walks with a cane for months now and even then he's more Mobile than Omos. Lashley won after Cedric Alexander trying to remake the Hurt Business interfered and Bobby Lashley Won. At Ringside he grabbed a fans Wwe Title belt , so he's calling his shot, he wants Roman, sooner or later.
Kevin Owens Vs Ezekiel. This was a Main Event match. As in it was a match that would fit on the Show Main Event. Owens Won this match.
Now for a fun one! 6 person tag Rhea Ripley, Damian Priest and Edge of the Judgement Day Vs Liv Morgan, Finn Balor and AJ Styles (The JUDGEMENT DAY Community?) Everyone looked great, and worked well, but credit where it's due, Edge is a miracle worker, he has took Damian Priest and made him a badass again, he has took Rhea Ripley from slumming it with Nikki ASS! And Reawakened that Killer Instinct. Finish was Rhea attacking Finn on the top rope and him jumping into Edge's Spear. Great match!
After a Match that was a mile a minute, it's time for thid show to screech to a halt! Noone waited this match between Moss without Dad-Jokes, (can we change his name back to Riddick, if he's just Generic Muscle Man?) And Crappy Boredom.
Moss (Because let's be honest, Wwe will remove the madcap name!) Won, and noone cared!
Theory Vs Mustafa Ali for the US Championship- Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, I HATE MUSLIMS, PAL! Same as it ever was!
But now to the main event, the only Hell in a cell match at Hell in a Cell. Seth Came out first in a stripper's Trenchcoat to reveal polkadot gear and the crowd went Apeshit! Next came Cody Rhodes and as he removed this jacket, we saw the results off his injury so it was either legit, or Wwe didn't hire that Makeup Expert from the Amber Turd Trial. For context the torn Pectoral bruised the left side of Cody's Chest and most of his left arm, which he sold like a trooper. Even time he went for moves it hurt him, and Seth being the heel, was not satisfied with just beating him in a contest, no, he want to destroy Rhodes. And he had every tool to do it! Kendo Sticks, steel Steps, tables, (in a funny note the only time Seth was Cheered was when he took out a table, the crowd was chanting "we want tables" all night! But in the end, it was a sledgehammer that won the day for a bruised and Broken Cody, as the last shot was him doubled over but kissing the matt!
So that was my one and only Wwe ppv this Summer, I will be back doing Pay per view results for Clash at the Castle in September. But that's not the last you'll see of me. Tomorrow, I have the Wtfanta review. And in the next few months we return to my TAROTOBER theme month as we continue to discuss the Tarot as it represents itself in the Street Fight and Persona universes.
Thank you for reading and I hope to see you here or my twitter account over @RealEnli.
Until then PEACE!
