7 WWE Hell In A Cell 2020 Impulse Reactions

7. R-Truth (c) Vs Drew Gulak

Tom Phillips referred to R-Truth as "timeless" during the 24/7 Champion's defence against Drew Gulak on the Kickoff.

He's right, but this match wasn't exactly an exhibition of that. The pair did some painfully functional stuff before Truth went through the John Cena tribute schtick before cleanly defeating a man that Daniel Bryan only recently called his superior.

This is the problem with WWE. Well, not just this, but the lack of meaning attached to all of it. Truth won, because Gulak doesn't matter now like he did back then. As if to illustrate that, he was dropped back into the literal chasing pack when Akira Tozawa and The Lucha House Party arrived on the scene to try and steal the gold from the Champion in that same Keystone Cops spot we've all been watching for well over a year.

He said "John Cena sucks" after the fact, surely sending very small corners of the internet into very small tizzies about the prospect of a feud between the two. They - and he - should be so lucky. This was a going-nowhere match that tragically denoted where the wrestlers themselves are currently at. The whole concept desperately needs an overhaul.
