We&#8217;ve seen this match a few times before, but this was a nice way to (hopefully) end the feud. Lacey fought dirty early in the match, and that allowed her to control Natalya for most of the match&#8217;s length. Natalya had to make a comeback towards the end when Lacey started looking for a Sharpshooter like she&#8217;s been doing recently. This was a fine kickoff show match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nClips of the debut of SmackDown on Fox from this past Friday night.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Panel<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe panel discusses SmackDown surpassing its own hype.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nSarah Schreiber welcomes Ali. Ali says he feels like he&#8217;s been taking two steps back for every one step forward lately. He might be down, but he won&#8217;t stay down. Ali begins to talk about the opportunity of the upcoming draft, but Randy Orton interrupts him. Orton tells Ali that he was the man who stopped Ali&#8217;s momentum when he arrived on SmackDown. Ali challenges Orton to find out who has the momentum heading into the draft. Orton accepts.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nClips of the feud leading up to the tag match with Bryan and Reigns teaming up against Rowan and Harper.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nKayla Braxton asks Erick Rowan about Roman Reigns. Rowan doesn&#8217;t care that he lost to Reigns on SmackDown. That was one battle, but this is a war. Tonight, there are no rules for Reigns and Bryan to hide behind.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Panel<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe panel discusses Daniel Bryan&#8217;s place in the tornado tag match tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Moving on, the panel discusses the almost-altercation between Braun Strowman and Tyson Fury on SmackDown.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA look at the buildup to the Hell in a Cell match between Seth Rollins and The Fiend.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Panel<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe panel discusses Seth Rollins defending his title against The Fiend.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nWith only one match (and that being being one we&#8217;ve seen at least twice before), this wasn&#8217;t a great kickoff show. Of course, I&#8217;m glad none of the title matches ended up on the kickoff show. I was afraid the Women&#8217;s Tag Title match was going to be buried on the pre-show, but it wasn&#8217;t. So for that, I&#8217;m glad.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/?p=6697\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">?&gt;&gt; Read the Recap &amp; Review for Hell in a Cell. &gt;&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lacey Evans and Natalya battle one more time on a kickoff show that could have had more action and interviews.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6694,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1334,625,297,622],"tags":[540,2440,38,1555,527,916,629,2775,484,2331,1335,1336,291,1848,1149,626,1257,871,294,1095,354,136,2330,1107,2175,1365,7,1213],"class_list":["post-6693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hell-in-a-cell","category-ppv","category-show-results","category-wwe","tag-alexa-bliss","tag-ali","tag-booker-t","tag-california","tag-charlotte","tag-charly-caruso","tag-darrick-moore","tag-dio-maddin","tag-erick-rowan","tag-golden-1-center","tag-hell-in-a-cell","tag-hell-in-a-cell-kickoff","tag-jerry-lawler","tag-jonathan-coachman","tag-kayla-braxton","tag-kickoff","tag-lacey-evans","tag-mike-rome","tag-natalya","tag-nikki-cross","tag-ppv","tag-randy-orton","tag-sacramento-ca","tag-sam-roberts","tag-sarah-schreiber","tag-vic-joseph","tag-wwe","tag-wwe-ppv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6693"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6693\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6713,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6693\/revisions\/6713"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
