Tiffany’s HIAC Non Takes: Finding The Happy
Tiffany provides you with her first ever non-Takes as she doesn’t watch WWE Hell In A Cell!
Tiffany provides you with her first ever non-Takes as she doesn’t watch WWE Hell In A Cell!
Hello, I’m Tiffany, if you’ve been following my articles, you probably know that I do takes for every WWE PPV and have since last year. I’ve run my mouth and shouted, railed, and complained about WWE’s booking, storylines, character building, and just about everything else. However, this week, after finding myself VERY unimpressed with RAW or SmackDown and realizing that WWE was heading into Hell in a Cell with only half their card booked, I decided that I wasn’t going to watch Hell in a Cell. I wasn’t going to watch, I wasn’t going to do takes on it. What I was going to do was test myself to see if my indifference was genuine disenchantment with WWE or just needing a breather.
This was NOT easy for me. I’ve been watching WWE PPVs every month since I got the Network and I’ve been a fan of WWE since I was six years old. I did NOT want to discover that my lifelong love of WWE was ending, but I had to see. I’m also a proponent of putting your money where your mouth is. I’ve been bitching about WWE for months and it was time I did something about it by not watching it if I wasn’t happy with it.
What did I do? I watched Sunday Night Football. My Indianapolis Colts were taking on the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs (Colts WON, BTW) and I really wanted to see it. However, I kept tabs on what was going on Hell In a Cell, and while it SOUNDS like the show had it’s ‘WTF’ moments, it also sounds like there were some banging matches. I felt like I was missing something really good, but I stuck it out because I wanted to really test myself on how I felt.
The results? Aside from some things that I was genuinely confused or irritated about, which will be discussed later, I felt like I should watch Hell in a Cell, more than that, I WANTED to watch Hell in a Cell. However, I was also glad I took the night off. The game was VERY enjoyable, love that my team won, and I got to watch it from start to finish.
What does this mean for the Takes? Not a whole lot. I still fully plan on doing Takes tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday, as well as covering AEW’s YouTube shows. I’m not going anywhere.
However, just going off what I was reading and hearing from people, I do have SOME takes to share.
- Becky Lynch vs Sasha Banks sounds AMAZING and I’ll definitely be catching it on WWE Network when I get the chance.
- I’m sick of Lacey Evans vs Nattie.
- I don’t understand why the Kabuki Warriors, who have been off TV for months, were suddenly handed a Women’s Tag Team Championship match and won, after Sasha and Bayley beat Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross several times and never got their rematch from WrestleMania or the title match they earned.
- I didn’t get the six man tag match or Randy Orton vs Ali.
- I’m not surprised Charlotte won, but I’m more curious about the Bayley fallout since she looked messed up in the pictures I saw.
- I’m glad Tamina Snuka finally won the title, but I’m a little disappointed R-Truth didn’t help Carmella regain the title again after she’s helped him so many times.
- I’m puzzled as to why WWE seems to have turned Daniel Bryan face again when he was doing so well as a heel. I am glad Bryan and Roman Reigns beat Luke Harper and Erick Rowan.
- I’m not sure what to think about Seth Rollins vs The Fiend ending in ref stoppage due to Seth snapping (or that’s what it sounded like). It’s Hell in a Cell, there is no stopping it until someone is pinned or gives up, but we’ll see what happens.
- Also, there were rumors afloat that angry fans were rioting in Sacramento, I’m glad those turned out to be just rumors, but from watching videos on Twitter and YouTube, it’s clear that fans left Hell in a Cell VERY unhappy after fans were also left feeling unhappy and cheated at SmackDown’s Fox premiere on Friday, and that’s not a good thing and WWE needs to address this sooner than later.
That’s it for Tiffany’s Non Takes for Hell in a Cell, tune in tomorrow for RAW!

Chris King: Is Brock Lesnar Truly Retired?
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
At WrestleMania 42, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar took off his boots and gloves following his loss to Oba Femi. Lesnar has done it all inside of his twenty-four-year career in professional wrestling. He’s a ten-time WWE Champion and former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and he’s one who ended The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania.
While Lesnar was in the ring, he was visibly overwhelmed with emotion and crying while he thanked the fans in his own way. The Beast even threw up an x to signal to Paul Heyman, his longtime friend and advocate, that this was not scripted and was real. There had been rumors that Lesnar and Oba were supposed to have a series of matches before everything went down at Mania.
‘The Career Killer’ Gunther was doing Heyman’s bidding as he faced Seth Rollins for a favor. For a while now since Gunther retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles, the rumor has been Gunther was set to retire Lesnar in his hometown at this year’s SummerSlam event. There’s been no confirmation if Lesnar is truly retired, but on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, we saw Heyman talking with General Manager Nick Aldis. Later that night following Rhodes’ match against the debuting Ricky Saints, Gunther choked out the WWE Champion. Could this be the favor from Heyman?
I know in the world of professional wrestling we live by the mantra of “never say never,” but what if Lesnar is actually retired and this was WWE’s way of shutting down those rumors about Gunther and Lesnar? What if Gunther’s next program is chasing after the WWE title, and where is Randy Orton at in all of these plans? There are so many questions that need to be answered, hopefully soon!

Chris King: Defend The Intercontinental Championship At Backlash!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
This year’s annual Backlash showcase is only a few days away, and while there are many big matches announced, one that definitely should be isn’t on the card. In my opinion, outside of Roman Reigns/Jacob Fatu and Seth Rollins/Bron Breakker, the Intercontinental Championship scene has been stellar over the last month.
Penta has been an excellent champion, especially after his triumphant title defense in a ladder match against JeVon Evans, Rusev, Dragon Lee, and the Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 42. Their ladder match at Mania was one of the best that WWE has produced in a while.
The momentum never stopped, as on the post-Mania episode of Monday Night Raw, ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page made his debut and was quickly inserted into the Intercontinental title scene. Page had a fantastic showing against his longtime NXT rival Evans and picked up a big win in his debut match thanks to an assist from Rusev.
All Ego immediately joined forces with ‘The Bulgarian Brute’ Rusev, who was also vying for the Intercontinental Title in his own right. On this week’s episode of Raw, Page and Rusev defeated Evans and Penta. All Ego pinned the champion, making a huge statement and putting him one step closer to getting a title shot. For the past few weeks I’ve been anxiously waiting to see if WWE was going to add this incredible fatal four-way match for the Intercontinental Championship, but it hasn’t happened yet.
As much as the WWE Universe enjoys witnessing great matches on free television, I truly believe all four superstars deserve the chance to showcase their talents on the PLE. While Penta has done a terrific job as the intercontinental champion, it’s time for a fresh face to hold the prestigious title. Page would make a great braggadocious heel that would help elevate the Intercontinental Championship to new heights!
