WWE Universal Title/Hell In A Cell Match: Kevin Owens vs Seth Rollins
Owens goes right out to the floor looking for weapons, but Rollins follows him out and launches the attack, rams Owens into the cage, and dishes out a series of chops before sending him back into the cage. They go back inside and Rollins hits a slingblade! Nice! That only gets 2, so Rollins keeps the pressure up, hitting a snapmare and a running kick to the chest. Rollins yells at Owens that he's the man around here, and he puts the boots to Owens in the corner, then hits a Blockbuster for 2. Rollins goes to the floor and gets a table from under the ring, sets it up on the floor, then rushes into the ring to go back after Owens, who quickly whips Rollins bad back-first into the corner and hits a series of sentons to the back for 2. Owens chokes Rollins with his boot and asks him who the man is now, then takes Rollins out to the floor and rams him face first into the cage before tearing the tape off of Rollins' back. What a jerk! Rollins gets whipped back into the cage yet again, then into the ringpost. That back is taking quite a beating as Owens climbs the cage and yells at the fans at ringside. Owens dumps Rollins back into the ring and covers for 1, then drops another eblwo and covers for 2. Rollins fires back with some chops, but Owens hits a knee to the ribs and absolutely FIRES Rollins out through the ropes with so much velocity that he crashes headfirst into the cage before plummeting to the floor. Owens hits a series of corner clotheslines and a cannonball, and things are looking pretty bleak for one Seth Rollins. They're on the floor now and Seth is slumped against the wall of the Cell, and Owens ups the ante by barreling into him with another cannonball. Owens sends Rollins back into the ring and sets for the pop-up powerbomb, Rollins slips out and goes for a Pedigree, Owens slips out, they trade superkicks, Rollins hits a Pelle kick, and Owens turns him inside out with a clothesline, and both men are down. What a fight! Owens sets up another table at ringside on a diagonal against the Cell on top of the first table (kind of hard to describe, as these things tend to be), and he asks Seth if he's ready to go for a little ride, and Seth obviously is because he gives Owens on via a falcon arrow suplex onto the ring apron. Rollins is fired up now, and he goes into the ring, takes a dive through the ropes at Owens, bashes his own face into the cage as he connects, but is so fired up that he goes back into the ring and hits a second dive. Owens gets ahold of a fire extinguisher and bashes Owens in the ribs with it, then sprays the ref in the face with it...then does it again. The second ref comes into the cage to check on the first one as Owens sends Rollins back into the ring, and suddenly Chris Jericho runs into the Cell and locks the door behind him. Owens gives Jericho a big kiss on the cheek, but Rollins is up and knocks Jericho into the Cell, and Owens hits a package side suplex for 2. I so wish they'd let him use the package piledriver. Owens goes to the top, Rollins goes up after him, Owens goes for a fireman's carry, Rollins slips out, Owens goes into the ring, and Rollins hits a springboard knee. Rollins goes for the Pedigree, Jericho comes off the top rope, Rollins nails him and gives him a Pedigree, but Owens superkicks Rollins, tries to powerbomb Rollins into the tables, Rollins slips out and goes for a powerbomb, loses him, POWERS HIM UP, and Awesome bombs him over the top rope and through both tables. So much for that bad back! Owens is DEAD as Rollins sends him back into the ring and comes off the top rope with a frogsplash, makes a cover, but Jericho pulls the referee out of the ring at 2. I really hate when that happens. Now Jericho has the fire extinguisher, but Rollins boots him in the head before he can do anything with it. Rollins beats the crap out of Jericho as Owens rolls into the ring, and Rollins seems dimly aware of Owens as he rams Jericho into the cage, then Rollins Awesome bombs Jericho into the cage. Rollins goes back inside and walks right into a superkick from Owens, who quickly follows up with a pop-up powerbomb for 2. Jericho is struggling back to his feet as Owens hammers Rollins with right hands, and now Jericho is in the ring hammering Rollins as well. Owens pulls Jericho off of Rollins so he can beat the tar out of him with a chair. He starts to do a Rock At Wrestlemania X-7 Job on Rollins, but Rollins gets ahold of the chair and goes back at Jericho and Owens. Owens nails Rollins and gives him a DDT on the chair, then sets two chairs up as a kind of platform and powerbombs Rollins through them for the win.
Winner: Kevin Owens
Another awesome brawl in what's rapidly turning into my favorite WWE PPV in I don't know how long. Great match and told a terrific story. Jericho comes back and gives Rollins a Codebreaker for the heck of it afterward.
We go to the panel to talk over what we just saw, and then it's right back to the ring for our next match...
Cruiserweight Title Match: TJ Perkins vs Brian Kendrick
Basic feeling out process to start, both men go for pinfall attempts on one another, but neither man is able to get an advantage. They start shoving each other, and Kendrick turns it onto a brawl that Perkins comes out on top of again. Perkins does his thing where he hangs between the ropes, he sucks Kendrick in and nails him, then connects with a springboard elbow. Perkins misses another shot and winds up on the apron and Kendrick dropkicks Perkins to the floor. Kendrick uses Perkins' wrist tape to tie him to the bottom rope, and Kendrick puts the boots to the champion, who can't get away. Kendrick hits a back suplex for 2, then he goes for a three quarter nelson on the mat and then turns it to a neckbreaker. Kendrick dumps Perkins to the apron, but Perkins comes right back in with a springboard dropkick that sends Kendrick to the floor, and Perkins follows him right out with a dive. Perkins with a rolling vertical suplex and then a back suplex, and he comes off the top and runs right into a dropkick from Kendrick for 2. Great pacing and psychology in this one. Perkins just kills Kendrick with a kick to the face, Kendrick responds with one of his own, and Perkins pops Kendrick up and hits Go To Knee for 2. Very close fall there, and Perkins doesn't let up, hitting a recking ball dropkick but then taking a Regalplex from Kendrick for 2. Kendrick gets a torture rack, Perkins slips out and goes for a double chickenwing, Kendrick victory rolls through, and gets the bully choke right in the middle of the ring. Perkins goes for the ropes and then rolls Kendrick to his shoulders for 2, and that breaks the hold, but Kendrick is still in control...at least until Perkins takes him to the mat and gets the kneebar. Kendrick quickly gets to the ropes, then gives Perkins a flatliner into the second turnbuckle. Kendrick goes for Sliced Bread #2, Perkins shoves him off, and Kendrick comes down bad on his ankle and is hurt. Perkins backs off while the referee checks on Kendrick, watching with concern before coming over to try and help Kendrick up. The ref backs Perkins off, but Perkins finally hauls Kendrick up...and Kendrick headbutts Perkins in the face and goes right to the bully choke. Perkins tries to make it to the ropes, but he is finally forced to tap out, and we have a new Cruiserweight Champion!
Winner and NEW Cruiserweight Champion: Brian Kendrick
Very good match, great psychology, and I loved the finish! And on a personal note, I'm thrilled to see Kendrick get this win, the guy has worked his ass off and 100% deserves this. Good for him.
We spend some time with Cole, Saxton, and Graves as they tell us why we should get the WWE Network and how great Survivor Series is going to be, then we see a history package showing how Cesaro and Sheamus got their title match tonight by beating the New DAy. We go backstage where Cesaro and Sheamus have a mutual admiration society and tell each other how great they are, and how they can walk out of here with the WWE Tag Team Title. They talk about how they couldn't stand each other and how much time they wasted, then they argue over who is going to follow whose lead out there. They wind up full out arguing as the segment ends.
Don't miss Raw Talk on the Network after Hell In A Cell wraps up!
The show wraps up on Page 4!
