6 Ups & 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE Backstage (Dec 3)

4. "It Was A Mess"

Hell In A Cell
WWE

"The Sacramento crowd...didn't like what was going on" was quite the understatement from Seth Rollins regarding how his Hell In A Cell main event went with The Fiend went as he openly acknowledge that perhaps there was no way back for his babyface persona in the aftermath.

Of note too was Seth's opinion on the staging and lighting for their catastrophic class. On working with the red lights in the red cell without a finish, he noted "it was a mess" and that "the cell didn't help at all".

This, again, was refreshing to hear his thoughts on. Removed from the eye of his most recent Twitter storm, Seth speaking candidly (and agreeing with consensus no less) will likely endear him to some of the supporters he's lost along the way.
