Mustafa Ali's return to television from what had previously felt like another ugly WWE contract dispute has been a mixed bag at best.

Miz TV segments and matches wit the midcard rank-and-file have mostly been the pits, as has the wider acceptance from all involved that life in the company is nothing but eating platefuls of s**t in the hope that one solitary day a nut or a nugget might have a grain of sugar nestled within it.

The light in the tunnel has been Ali's feud with new United States Champion Theory who, with Mr McMahon's number on speed dial, carries a touch more authority than he might have done before. And loads more compared to the scrubs he keeps company with in the depths of those second and third hour talking segments.

Match quality is broadly assured if it doesn't skew boring, but Hell In A Cell won't be where Ali tastes that sweet success. There are two men in the ring, but only one is the ongoing pet project regardless of the former Retirbution man's prior protestations.

Winner - Theory
