5 Biggest Winners & Losers From WWE Raw (Oct 24)

2. Winner: Mick Foley

You can always rely on Mick Foley to sell the menace of Hell In A Cell. WWE have continually called on him to build drama for these matches, and his history within the structure is unparalleled. His fall from the cell’s roof while wrestling The Undertaker remains one of the most iconic moments in WWE history, but if that match wasn’t damaging enough, his No Way Out 2000 HIAC with Triple H likely took years off his career.

Foley did a great job in putting this over last night. Sasha Banks and Charlotte will make history as the first women to ever compete in HIAC, but they need to understand what they’re getting into. In leaning on Foley, WWE did a tremendous job of adding some last minute danger to the affair, and when Hell In A Cell hits the airwaves, the Women’s Title match will likely be the night’s most anticipated.

The segment wasn’t without its problems, though. The match still leans too heavily on the idea of “making history” rather than the duo’s immense dislike for each other, Charlotte’s failure to sell the stipulation was annoying, and the crowd seemed more into Foley than either woman last night. Still, it was far from disastrous, particularly when compared to some of the other segments that took place on this show.

Regardless of these concerns, Mick had an excellent night last night, and that’s more than you can say for most of his contributions as General Manager.
