2. Belair delivered a thunderous powerbomb on the arena floor.

The Miz, Snoop Dogg and Shane McMahon

6 OF 8

1. Snoop’s improvisational abilities.
2. The end of the segment.

Hell in a Cell: Edge vs. Finn Bálor

7 OF 8

1. Edge entered the arena to Slayer’s “South of Heaven,” which is ironic given that one of Damian Priest’s signature moves goes by the same name.
2. Bálor drew a big pop for his Demon entrance, which did not bode well for the idea that he was the heel in this match.
3. There were red and purple weapons inside the structure, which takes away from the idea of spontaneity and a heated blowoff match.
4. Bálor suffered a nasty cut from the ladder, and the match came to a standstill as the medical personnel checked on him.
5. Bálor delivered a Coup de Grace from a conveniently placed platform on the side of the cell but missed and crashed through the table. Edge followed with a Spear for a close two-count.

3. Rhodes attempted the Disaster Kick, but Reigns caught him and power-bombed him for two.
4. Sikoa jabbed Rhodes in the ribs with a steel chair, undetected by the official.
5. Rhodes back body-dropped Reigns off the Spanish announce table and through the U.S. one, giving The American Nightmare a reprieve from the concentrated attack on his ribs.
6. Sikoa then used the weightlifting belt given to Brodie to strike Rhodes. This time, referee Dan Englert ejected him from ringside.
7. The Tribal Chief caught his challenger with a Spear on the rebound but could only keep him down for two.
8. The Usos started to interfere in the match but were seen off by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.
