Charlotte attacked Sasha before the cage was lowered, powerbombing Sasha through the announce table. The match was almost called a forfeit, but Sasha insisted that the match begin. The match itself was good. The focus on Sasha&#8217;s back helped add a lot of intrigue to the match. There were some big, violent moves and a lot of hard-hitting action. There were a couple of table spots that didn&#8217;t work very well, including one at the very end of the match. The table spots didn&#8217;t necessarily detract a lot from the match, but the underwhelming table spot at the end made the finish a little less than it probably should have been. The match as a whole though was very good.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe show was a little uneven. It didn&#8217;t start out great, but the second and third Hell in a Cell matches did deliver. I still thinking having more than one Hell in a Cell match on a show is too much, but they were two out of three tonight so I guess it isn&#8217;t the worst idea.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Kevin Owens vs Seth Rollins<\/strong><br \/>\nI really wanted to pick the women&#8217;s title match, and it was a very good match, but I think Rollins and Owens put together a more consistently solid match.
