10 WWE Hell In A Cell 2019 Impulse Reactions

9. Becky Lynch Vs. Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks taking the early advantage before the Cell had fully been lowered offered echoes of the one and only Women's Cell clash before now, but that was the only point 2016's middling Boston affair came anywhere near this substantially more satisfying affair.

Becky brought out a table, which thankfully performed dutifully this time around. Sasha's wicked chair shots were equaled by those she absorbed from 'The Man', exorcising the demons of her Clash Of Champions lovetaps.

This really, really good weapons brawl within WWE's deadliest structure was the best way for Lynch's historic reign to ascend to a new level, not least in the shadow fellow WrestleMania winner Kofi Kingston's heartbreaking SmackDown loss. Both made history on that hazy April night at the 'Show Of Shows', but Becky surviving this brutal battle highlighted how even during the Lacey Evans dud, she was still made beyond the moment.

That same night, of course, was transcendent for 'The Boss'. F*cked off once too often, she f*cked off until she could come back and channel that anger into this f*cking ripper of an opener with the woman that brought the curtain down all those months ago.
