10 WWE Hell In A Cell 2017 Impulse Reactions
10. The End?
The New Day/Usos storyline has been a fans feast, proffering a seemingly unending supply of spectacular matches bound mostly by one key motivation - each team desperately wants to hold the SmackDown Live! Tag Team Championships.
It's the most logical conflict in the wrestling booker's guide, but (as would be evidenced later in the card) can only be elongated to such a degree when the performers live up to the billing of multiple wars over the prestigious prizes.
2017's title trade-offs between Jimmy, Jey, Xavier Woods, Big E and Kofi Kingston have fostered further disdain for each other thanks to little more than the fierce need to be the best. It's a mutual hatred that has grown with the men and matches themselves, escalating first from comedy to technical excellence, to hard-hitting chaos and ultimately this caged weapons war.
The intensity of the rivalry was such that the result barely mattered as a handcuffed Woods fell to the challengers' chair-assisted double splash. The locked-in quartet had delivered their epic finale, throwing balls and bodies to the wall in order to assure their place amongst the elite when the year's finest matches and moments are reviewed.
