Can add Strowman vs Reigns in a HIAC with Strowman cashing in. This news makes me sad though. I can deal with it if Strowman wins, but doing it this way so soon after Reigns has won doesn't fill me with confidence. If they have Strowman lose, then he's been massively wasted with that briefcase. Such a huge opportunity to move Strowman into the main event properly and cement himself there. If he wins, he's done that and it's a great way to cash in without looking like a coward or being cheap about it. He loses it's bullshit and a wasted opportunity that will only bring heat onto Reigns because people will want to see Strowman win when cashing in.

They just came off a massively long reign, so I wouldn't be surprised if Reigns' reign was short.

It seems that Strowman will be going into this as a heel. I agree with Ninjak though on it being a massively wasted opportunity if he doesn't win. Should have just not had him cash in... the guy can be number one contender without having to cash in his MITB surely?
Although I do approve of Strowman as a heel. He suits it much better than a face... but we all know he'll be cheered at HIAC.

I dunno, fans LOVE The Shield... and Strowman got some decent boos at times on RAW.

Well that was a shit-show. Especially the main event. Really does make me question the ability of the writers and who plans the matches. No one came out looking good in that and there is Brauns MITB contract completely wasted. And having Mick Foley in there was just completely pointless. More pointless than the actual main event, which takes some doing.
Can't remember the last time a main event was that much of a letdown (probably wasn't long ago though to be honest).

Hell in a Cell... The no DQ match that ended in a no contest. Complete bullshit.
I thought it was a really good show. Sure the main event ended in a shit way, but I dunno how anyone can call the show overall a shit show. In my opinion, Becky v Charlotte was one of the best womens matches all year and Shield vs McZiggles was fantastic.
Also Jeff vs Orton was great (Jeff is a machine) and Ziggles and Rollins had a crazy spot in the main event.

Well, I'm watching it again this evening with a mate and some Chinese food. So I'll be in a better mood and not tired. Will see whether my opinion changes, although I don't expect my opinion of the main event to change.

Okay, so on second viewing some of the matches were better. I must have fallen asleep just before the Raw Tag Title match last night as I couldn't remember that at all. Clearly match of the night and was really enjoyable. This match alone made me glad I decided to watch the PPV again. Take that match out though, and it was just an okay PPV.
And FYI, what a waste of time and money painting the HIAC red. Looks like shit.
