This match showed you don\u2019t need to gush gallons of blood to have a decent hardcore match. It\u2019s sometimes surreal to hear the overwhelming reaction for Erick Rowan, who was always the \u201cthird guy\u201d in the Wyatt Family. People are behind this guy, which warms my heart. Great to Nikki Cross back in action, too. Everyone worked hard and I was thoroughly entertained the entire match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bianca Belair &amp; Jade Cargill vs. Alba Fyre &amp; Isla Dawn: Minor Miss<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The match up was fine, although seemed a little clumsy at times. I\u2019m just not feeling the Cargill\/Belair pairing. I was really hoping they\u2019d put the titles back on the Unholy Union, as they and to a certain extent Damage Control, are the only solid tag teams on the main roster. Cargill and Belair don\u2019t need the titles to be elevated. The only way that I\u2019d be remotely interested in them anymore, would be if they would re-boot Belair into her old NXT persona, where she was an arrogant heel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bret Hart appearance: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There wasn\u2019t much asked of Bret, so what little he did was fine. I LOVED Gunther\u2019s line about Bill Goldberg! I also like Sami Zayn\u2019s pursuit of the title and Gunther\u2019s reluctance, with him seemingly avoiding Zayn, as Sami is one of the few blemishes on his record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dominik Mysterio vs. Dragon Lee: Minor Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nice paced match up, but I wonder why the stock of Dragon Lee seems to have fallen. He really can\u2019t seem to get off the starting blocks. I think removing him from under the umbrella of the LWO would possibly help. Dominik continues to be one of the best heels on the roster.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4225086943\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Johnny &amp; Matthew Gaudreau Tribute: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A very nice tribute to the tragedy of the Gaudreau Brothers. A heart-breaking event and it was nice for the WWE to pay honor to these two. Hats off to Jackie Redmond who I thought elevated what could have been just a tribute video. Well done.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of the Wade Keller Pro to stream Wrestling Post-show covering the latest episode of Raw: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/wwe-raw-post-show-9-9-keller-pomarez-talk-gunther-trolling-bret-with-goldberg-comment-hiac-joe-tess-breakker-live-callers-emails--61318583\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cwade Keller\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=61318583&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Natalya &amp; Zelina Vega &amp; Lyra Valkyria vs. Pure Fusion Collective: Minor Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I would normally lament another loss to a group that are supposed to be bad asses, but based on the location of the event and Natalya\u2019s inclusion, I can forgive this loss. I can see PFC possibly picking up a win next week or in the future over Valkyria or Vega to try and get heat back, but this new group seems to spinning their wheels. The match up was fine overall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drew McIntyre promo and Hell in a Cell announcement: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Drew continues to be one of my favorite heels right now. He\u2019s really found his stride. I loved his confrontation with Wade Barrett and the way his enjoyment turned into something close to fear about being in Hell in a Cell. Not a shot at Punk, but I hope he\u2019s able to come out of the thing unscathed. I know he is prone to injuries, so let\u2019s hope they can both make it out on the positive side of things. This is what WWE was missing for a while: long term story telling. It seemed every feud after its first match, so I have personally been enjoying feuds lasting longer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finn Balor vs. Rey Mysterio: Minor Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Overall, a decent match. Unique way to end the match that we don\u2019t see too often anymore. I think Balor and The Judgement Day as a whole would have benefited from a decisive win, but I also realize that there is still the need to protect Rey.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1749756970\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Jey Uso vs. Pete Dunne vs. Ilja Dragunov vs. Braun Strowman: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let me start by saying, I love Breakker when he\u2019s the arrogant, soft-spoken heel version of himself. His confrontations with all participants were awesome and his cocky demeanor was perfect. I was pulling for Dragunov to win the match, but a fresh matchup with Jey Uso should be fun. Strowman was given the perfect out. A fun four man match.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay right here and keep the flow going.
