News On Mysterio/Reigns, Another Hell In A Cell Pitch, Smackdown, More
Added 2021-06-18 19:22:32 +0000 UTCMany were left surprised when WWE inexplicably moved Roman Reigns vs. Rey Mysterio from the Hell in a Cell PPV. When asking why this happened, we didn't get much of an answer, but heard some notes about the constantly changing creative process.
As of Friday morning, we were told and confirmed by WWE staff that Reigns vs. Mysterio was meant to be straight up, no frills, no goofy finish, and was not scheduled to be "run back" at Hell in a Cell. In its place, Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn in Hell in a Cell was pitched and seemed to be set for the show, but that was also changed by early Friday afternoon. As of now, we don't know where things stand on either of those situations.
However, we have been told the red Hell in a Cell structure is hanging up at the Thunderdome as of 3 PM EST.

2021-06-18 22:12:40 +0000 UTCYou’re good. I just think in my opinion they realized the NBA playoff game tonight was going up against it so they put that match on there to try and hold on to a good rating

2021-06-18 21:45:05 +0000 UTCI guess I was just trying to say, WWE saw what's happening on AEW tonight and try to put something worth watching first to make comparisons to each product. Roman is the only good thing in Smackdown right now; so put him on the same night as another cage match so whoever watches afterward can see how a top wwe star does it vs aew's mma guys. idk if im wording this right so I apologize

2021-06-18 19:57:06 +0000 UTCThe red cell is the biggest turn off. It almost single handily takes my interest away. Have never heard one person ever say they like the red cell yet they continue to use it . So frustrating

2021-06-18 19:35:42 +0000 UTCI’ll tell you why this happened, because Vince is being Vince and the shows are being re-written by him constantly.
