Hell in a Cell Match for the WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Braun Strowman with Special Guest Referee Mick Foley

Ever since their feud last year to the one renewed this month, Braun and Roman have had their battles escalate to unbelievable and cartoonish but fascinating proportions. This was the case here as well. One wishes though that it was within the cell and between the two men, rather than the combustible elements outside of it.

As such WWE did the one thing they do to prolong the feud, they had the two men wrestle in first gear which produced a harsh but eventually boring and dumb contest with the two men selling a beating for a whole ten to fifteen minutes. This was so as their partners (Dolph/Drew and Dean/Seth) could court chaos around the ring and on top of the cell, including a midway fall from the cage onto tables.

This was all so that a relatively thinned down Brock Lesnar could make his presence felt, with a cage door torn off and two F5's to call it a no contest (something that shouldn't apply to the cell). Add to that a somewhat unnerved Mick Foley and the only good thing left is the raging Braun Strowman, please let him call everybody a moron tomorrow night on RAW!

It's high time fans and WWE admit it's no longer Roman's fault or the reactions that he gets, but rather the fault of a lazy insipid management and writing team. WWE has ruined Roman and will continue to do so, along with five other talents to get over a lazy part-timer (hopefully Lesnar doesn't read this).

Result: Brock Lesnar causes chaos to lead to a NO CONTEST (which isn't a problem but logically makes no sense) and so Roman Reigns retains the WWE Universal Championship!
