Right, enough of The Bump. Onto a real show like Backstage.

Only kidding, both are valid. Something that wasn't valid however was WWE's decision to turn Hell In A Cell's main event into the worst B-level horror movie this side of Slender Man. The finish sucked, the action was slow, the crowd were uninvested and everything was bathed in a horrid red light.

On Backstage, Seth Rollins revealed that he hated that lighting too. It made working around ringside difficult, and it turned what should've been an exhilarating experience for Seth into one of his worst matches in living memory. For the record, yes, it is totally weird to hear a WWE star blast the company like this so soon after a big match.

Some may think Rollins is just making excuses for why the bout blew. He's not shying away from the fact HIAC was a "mess" that didn't pan out how he, Wyatt or creative had hoped. So, sleep soundly knowing the talent thought it sucked too.
