10 Wrestling Matches Vince McMahon Ruined
"LIFE (and by life I mean your match, quite frankly) SUCKS, AND THEN YOU DIE!"
As of this writing, it is looking increasingly likely that Bayley and Sasha Banks will headline Hell In A Cell 2020, or at very least do battle in the titular gimmick on the show. Nothing is yet confirmed on that front, but a pulsating brawl following the 'Role Model's match with Asuka at Clash Of Champions seemed to imply that the confrontation was due in the very near future.
Hallelujah.
This is a victory and a f*cking half for the pair of them, having suffered and survived the very worst instincts of Vince McMahon since they were called up in 2016 and 2015 respectively.

It came with the caveat that 'The Empress Of Tomorrow' be protected because their system is horribly, horribly, broken, and thus a finish played out in which 'The Role Model' slapped on a referee's shirt so the heels could steal the belt.
A steaming turd of a conclusion that derailed the contest and almost put a bullet in about four months of work between the heels, it spoke to the quality of all three that they were able to escape this just about unscathed. Not least when they had more bullsh*t to overcome the next night...
