WWE killed her momentum when she originally lost to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 36 and spent over a year failing to rehab her credibility.
Now, she’s even struggling with Nikki Cross.
But Hell in a Cell and TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs fall short because they depend entirely on the individual storyline justifying that gimmick.
Rarely does a feud feel worthy of Hell in a Cell these days, and TLC only tends to show up because someone randomly grabs those weapons to justify calling it a TLC match.
The former champion knows The EST of WWE’s hair is her greatest weapon and vulnerability, and she can use her braid to set up a Bayley to Belly or Rose Plant that should seal the win.
Money in the Bank, Elimination Chamber, and Extreme Rules work as themed events that build excitement.
WWE generally does a good job creating matches for the stipulation, but it can feel contrived.
He is overdue for another title shot, and his segments with MVP have been so compelling.
Hell in a Cell is a great stipulation, but it works best when a story necessitates its use.
Frankly, I would like to see WWE allow non-world title feuds to use the cell more often.
