WWE Hell In A Cell 2016: 21 Best Internet Reactions To Charlotte's Historic Win
21. It Was Better Than Clash Of Champions
0At the end of the day, you're only as good as a wrestling promotion as your last show, and Hell In A Cell's direct comparison point was the particularly patchy Clash Of Champions. Literally the bare minimum Raw had to do was outshine that, and it does seem that most people acknowledged that as a success.
It's just a shame that more people compare it to what Smackdown are doing, rather than just what Raw are. Like it or not, WWE have created a brand war within their own product, and while that might be good for ratings in some respect, it's poor if either flagship ends up looking poor by comparison, and that's exactly what's happening with Raw.
It's all a ratings war, whether the bosses care to acknowledge it or not, and at least some people liked it more than No Mercy...
