WWE Rumor Roundup: Vince McMahon's backstage reaction to Hell in a Cell main event, company deletes announcement of big Survivor Series match - 7th October 2019

#4. Backstage reaction to Bray Wyatt being booked to survive 11 Curb Stomps

The Fiend came into Hell in a Cell looking like an unconquerable monster. Seth Rollins stood no chance in the build-up to the PPV and a squash match seemed like the most logical result. We were so wrong.

Seth Rollins dished out a lot of punishment to The Fiend, and it just got ridiculous after a point. It's not normal to see a Superstar absorb 11 Curb Stomps and still kick out.

Sean Ross Sapp revealed on the Fightful Select that a WWE talent backstage, whose name was not disclosed, found the match very bizarre, especially the Curb Stomp spots.

The unnamed talent stated:

"I can appreciate over the top stuff. The blood coming out of Seth's mouth. That's stuff I can get a kick out of. But the BS finish in a cell? Come on. That needs to be the match that has the ultimate finality. But The Fiend’s first match with Rollins was in a cell, so that was flawed right out the gate. And taking fifteen curb stomps? That also was bizarre. It was bizarre. That's the best way I can describe it."

The general reaction backstage amongst the talents and personnel was of shock as none of them knew what to say or how to react.

At the end of the day, WWE missed the mark by a mile with that main event. What a shame.
