Praise the lord that Bayley's 'Ding Dong, Hello' chat with Seth Rollins actually went somewhere. Everyone must've been worried when the pair started laughing in stereo, but that was a false flag before Cesaro's big comeback and beatdown of Seth.

Yours truly could watch these guys wrestle every month and it wouldn't bother him. They're that good together, and there's more to come. OK, so maybe the segment didn't need the old trouser-less heel getting bounced around trope, but that's the most minor of minor complaints.

Cesaro looked like a star yet again.

If WWE could only resist the urge to put those little splashes of ill-needed comedy in, then maybe they'd be able to properly put together a must-see card for Hell In A Cell. Despite that annoying foible, they do have something to work with between Rollins and Cesaro.

They'll have another belter if it's on the HIAC line up next week.
