1. HIAC's Disastrous Finish

This entry could easily have been, 'Pitting Bray Wyatt's 'Fiend' Against Seth Rollins' instead. That, in itself, was a stupid decision that came far too early in Wyatt's run as the eye-catching, newsworthy character. WWE failed to show any patience with the 'Fiend' at all, which is why he's currently Universal Champion.

It's also why Rollins is slowly turning heel. He was outright ruined by some seriously clumsy booking.

The build towards Hell In A Cell was clunky-but-intriguing. Seeing Seth unravel as Bray got inside his head had legs as an idea. Then, WWE spoiled it all by booking one of the slowest and worst pay-per-view main events in recent history. Inside the Cell, both brawled under terrible conditions (that red lighting and that finish were the pits).

Rollins vs. 'Fiend' I ended with the least satisfying conclusion WWE could've come up with. Fans jeered as the referee stopped a Hell In A Cell match before either man had been pinned. It was a disaster, and it's at least partly responsible for Seth's current predicament.
