10 WWE Hell In A Cell 2019 Impulse Reactions

3. R-Truth Meaner Than Tamina

The 24/7 Championship was transitioned back to R-Truth from Carmella via Tamina in an odd series of events that probably wouldn't have made the pay-per-view if the company had remembered to book something else instead.

A once-creative comedy segment has become a bit samey of late, but the second generation star was as odd a choice as anybody to hold the green-and-gold strap until the doyen of the daft division took it back before the penultimate clash. And odd is...good? It's impossible to judge what really matters amongst this lot, but when the show didn't really need much filler after all, it all felt a little unwelcome.

Ultimately, with Truth back in possession of the gold, there exists the opportunity to get the Benny Hill chases back on the go on Raw and SmackDown until they figure out what comes next. The less said about the broadly problematic non-scrap between Funaki and Truth, the better, though.
