WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog at JRsBarBQ.com with his thoughts on last night’s WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. Here are some highlights of what he said about:
His Favorite Match: The opening tag match was arguably my favorite match of the night. Lots of action and perhaps even too much action outside the ring for a first bout when considering what was coming with the HIAC being used twice later in the night. Nonetheless, all three teams worked hard, all had their moments and all seemed to deliver in a positive way.
Kane’s Return: Not sure what to make of the Wyatt Family/Miz/Kane business. The follow up on what Kane did to Miz left many unanswered questions but perhaps that was the goal. At least the aforementioned individuals got some PPV time/exposure.
CM Punk vs. Paul Heyman: Seems as if the Punk/Heyman issue was closed last night with Happy Heyman getting caned like a Government Mule on top of the Cell which was a unique setting. Heyman could theoretically be ‘gone’ for a while ‘healing’ but WWE’s best, villain talker will obviously be back at some point to resume his contributions to the programming. The big question then would be what’s next for both Punk and Heyman? Both are too valuable to not have strong issues in which to be involved going forward. Hopefully, their WM30 plans are penciled in already.
John Cena’s Return: Thought John Cena and Alberto Del Rio had a very solid bout and one that arguably exceeded my expectations based on Cena’s surgery and recent inactivity. Very easy story to tell as it revolved around Cena’s left arm and ADR’s cross armbreaker. Hopefully, Cena can add some needed luster to the World Heavyweight Title.
The Main Event: I was expecting more, and I’m not sure exactly what, from the final, main event bout featuring Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton for the WWE Title. Adding HBK to the mix as the referee was strategic promoting as was having HHH at ringside. But the match never quite got over the hump for me. One certainly can’t slight the efforts of all involved but sometimes the game plan looks better on paper than in actual execution.
One would assume that this controversial conclusion will lead to an eventful Monday Night RAW and many of the missing storyline elements will be resolved or at least addressed tonight on live, TV.
The key element to consider is that many consumers bought their second $50+ PPV this month and at some point the majority of the fan base, considering that they were pulling for Daniel Bryan, has to [be] made happy.
Without question, antagonist angst sells, remember I worked in Mid South Wrestling, but there has to be a happy ending at some point and I certainly assumed that Daniel Bryan would have won inside HIAC where the heroes have traditionally had some level of success in such a finale-like presentation. I missed on that one.
– Several celebrities were in attendance at last night’s Hell in a Cell PPV from Miami, including Miami Heat players Udonis Haslam and Andy Elisburg, legendary music producer Rick Rubin and Ata Johnson, mother of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. After winning the World Heavyweight title, John Cena hugged The Rock’s mom on his way to the back.
– Former TNA referee Rudy Charles made his WWE pay-per-view debut at Hell In a Cell last night, now using the name Dan Engler.
– Big E. Langston and Dean Ambrose were both injured at Hell in a Cell, with Langston receiving stitches under his eye and Ambrose getting stitches on his chin.
– WWE announced Sunday afternoon that Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel would be unable to compete in the WWE Hell in a Cell Kickoff Match after sustaining an undisclosed injury, which was later reported as an injury to his hips on Raw. Company officials weren’t sure what his diagnosis would be until Friday, which is why nothing was announced until yesterday afternoon.
Many of Axel’s co-workers consider the news very disappointing since he’s popular among them and viewed as a person who goes forward with whatever he’s asked to do.
At this time, the severity of his injury, as well as the status of the WWE Intercontinental Championship, is unknown.
– Speaking to Shannon Rose, Vito talked about wrestling in a dress as part of his character in WWE years ago, working for World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling, as well as his professional wrestling academy.
– At WWE Hell in a Cell, as Cody Rhodes and Goldust successfully fended off The Shield’s Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins and The Usos to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship. The brothers emerged victorious Rhodes pinned Seth Rollins following a Cross Rhodes.
Following the match, Goldust praised his brother on Twitter, writing: “I watched my brother @CodyRhodesWWE perform magic tonight when i tagged him in. He killed it! #ProudBrother #RhodesDynasty #TheBrotherhood4Life! @wwe.”
Following the WWE Hell In A Cell pay-per-view event in Miami, Florida on Sunday night, WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan, who failed to capture the WWE Championship in the main event of the show, was helped to the backstage area by a couple of referee’s.
The new WWE Champion, Randy Orton, who won the title by defeating Bryan with help from a super-kick by the special guest referee, Shawn Michaels, continued his celebration after the pay-per-view ended.
WWE COO Triple H, who was also involved in the complex finish on Sunday night, was in the arena with Orton after the show.
According to one fan in attendance, the “energy was sucked out of the building like a vacuum” following the finish of Orton-Bryan.
The WWE Hell In A Cell Kickoff Show will feature the usual “expert panel,” as they have done with all past pay-per-view Kickoff Shows. Tonight’s panel will feature Josh Mathews along with R-Truth, Dolph Ziggler and Kaitlyn.
As noted earlier today, the match on the Kickoff Show has been changed. Due to an injury, WWE Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel will no longer defend his title against Big E. Langston as originally planned. Instead, “Mr. Money In The Bank” Damien Sandow will take on Kofi Kingston in singles action, as we reported earlier Sunday afternoon.

– According to the official WWE website, WWE Chief Operating Officer Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have filed a restraining order against Big Show stating that he must remain 100 yards away from American Airlines Arena, the site of tonight’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event, at all times tonight. If the giant grappler does not comply and breaks the order, he will be arrested on sight.
– Promoting tonight’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event, Stephanie McMahon issued the following message.

– The official WWE website has released a Hell in a Cell edition of “Out-think The Fink,” which quizzes fans on their knowledge of the pay-per-view event. To play the game, click here.
WWE’s official Twitter account announced this afternoon that Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel will be unable to compete tonight in the WWE Hell in a Cell Kickoff Match after sustaining an undisclosed injury. According to WWE’s official website, following a second evaluation by medical personnel, he was not cleared for in-ring action.
In place of the scheduled Intercontinental Championship between Axel and Big E Langston, Kofi Kingston will face “Mr. Money in the Bank,” Damien Sandow in a singles match.
It would appear that Langston is not being left out in the cold, as the website is teasing a possible appearance at the pay-per-view. The website states, “With this Kickoff Match taking place on the same night as John Cena’s momentous return to action to challenge Alberto Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Championship, what is going through Sandow’s mind as he carries his coveted Money in the Bank contract into Miami’s American Airlines Arena? Also, now that Langston is no longer scheduled to compete, how will the rising star look to make an impact tonight at WWE Hell in a Cell?”
– Daniel Bryan spoke to SiriusXM personality Sam Roberts, host of The Sam Roberts Show podcast, at Ringside Fest in New York City on Saturday. In the interview, he discussed his size, his favorite opponent, headlining pay-per-view events, whether he’s happy with his current role, and more.
In response to whether he pays attention to WWE’s cable television ratings, he responded, “I pay attention to that stuff, but I’ve always paid attention to that stuff. And I don’t pay attention to it any more than normal. Really, all you can do is go out there and do your best. Whether people are watching or whether people are not watching, you always hope that people are going to love this, but I can’t make people’s minds for them.”
– The official WWE website has released never-before-seen photos of John Cena defending the WWE Championship against CM Punk, Dolph Ziggler, Alberto Del Rio and Jack Swagger inside Hell in a Cell after a Raw in September 2011 went off the air. Cena successfully defended his title, pinning Swagger following an Attitude Adjustment.
– Tonight at WWE Hell in a Cell, Cody Rhodes and Goldust will defend the WWE Tag Team Championship against the team of Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, as well as Jey and Jimmy Uso. Addressing the match Goldust, wrote on Twitter, “Prepared and focused! Odds are stacked! #TheBrotherhood go to war!” WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes added, “cody , goldust , heii in cell ! come away knowing you gave your all!”
– It was announced last week that Curtis Axel would defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Big E Langston tonight in the WWE Hell in a Cell Kickoff, which streams live at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT. The match, however, has been officially nixed due to Axel suffering an injury.
The official Twitter account of WWE announced at 2:03 p.m.: “BREAKING: Due to injury, @RealCurtisAxel will not compete tonight at #HellInACell. Stay tuned to WWE.com for updates.”
– Speaking to WWE Magazine, Layla reveals that she has no plans on resuming her dancing career—prior to joining WWE in 2006, she was a dancer for Carnival Cruise Lines, the Miami Heat franchise of the National Basketball Association, and also danced for Kanye West at the MTV Video Music Awards.
“I would always be willing to do something for charity for WWE, but I’ve moved on from that part of my life. I was happy when I heard the Miami Heat had won the championship this year, but I also felt smug since I had already got my championship ring with them. First time’s a charm!”
The former WWE Divas Champion also reveals that she would like to peek inside the male wrestlers’ locker room. She states, “Not because I want to secretly check them out or anything, but I’d love to get a glimpse at the dynamic going on in there. All them always try to play it so cool. I want to see them in their natural habitat.”
– The official WWE website has issued a poll asking fans which WrestleMania dream match they you like to see simulated in WWE 2K14. The options are Shawn Michaels vs. The Rock, John Cena vs. Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker vs. Goldberg, and Daniel Bryan vs. Ric Flair.
– When John Cena faces Alberto Del Rio tonight at WWE Hell in a Cell for the WWE Championship, Cena will sport a protective compression sleeve (with pad insert) on his surgically repaired arm, according to the Miami Herald. This is similar to what former NBA player Allen Iverson wore and what Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade wears. That will minimize any swelling and help decrease impact on the arm.
– Booker T will not be hand on for tonight’s WWE Hell in the Cell pay-per-view event in Mimai, Florida. Rather, that WWE Hall of Famer and talent from his Reality of Wrestling promotion will be watching tonight’s pay-per-view broadcast with fans in Houston, Texas, at Diablo Loco on Richmond Avenue.
– As seen on SmackDown, CM Punk and Ryback got a tune-up match against a CM Punk imposter in preparation for their encounter with Paul Heyman tonight at WWE Hell in a Cell. Highlights from the bout are feature on the “WWE SmackDown Slam of the Week.”
– CM Punk was originally scheduled to compete at last Tuesday’s SmackDown taping in Birmingham, Alabama, but ultimately did not because company officials didn’t want him to any more beat up going tonight’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event encounter against Ryback. Nonetheless, Punk’s injuries are expected to affect the booking of the match. The bout is not scheduled to be the end of his feud with Paul Heyman.
– Chris Jericho revealed late last night on Twitter that he plans to release his third autobiography, which will on his second tenure with WWE, next September, and a Fozzy album in June. In response to when he will return to WWE, Jericho responded, “Most asked question & the answer is “I don’t know” That’s the best I can say so STOP ASKING ;).”

– It was announced last week that Curtis Axel would defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Big E Langston tonight in the WWE Hell in a Cell Kickoff, which streams live at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT. However, it now appears that the match has been nixed, as the match is no longer advertised on the Hell in a Cell page on WWE.com, not to mention that the page previewing the match, has been deleted.
No match is being advertised for the WWE Hell in a Cell Kickoff, with the following stated: “Find out who will be the next WWE Champion and watch John Cena’s in-ring return when WWE Hell in a Cell airs live on pay-per-view tonight at 8 ET/5 PT, and don’t forget to check out the Kickoff, which streams live at 7:30 ET/4:30 PT!”
– Konnan, who is always vocal about WWE on his podcast and on Twitter, feels a number of WWE Superstars should be removed from television—due to poor performance and/or lack of marketability. In response to a fan on Twitter asking him which two talents should be written off television, he responded with eight, including reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel, all three members of 3MB, and three WWE Divas.
“Brad Maddox, JoJo, Rosa, 3MB, Axel, Aksana, would write dem off,” said Konnan.
Konnan, however, is high on two wrestlers he feels are underutilized. In response to a question asking who should be pushed, he stated, “Ziggler and Cesaro.”
– Tonight at WWE Hell in a Cell, Cody Rhodes and Goldust will defend the WWE Tag Team Championship against the team of Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, as well as Jey and Jimmy Uso. Rollins vows to reclaim the gold.
“Tonight is for reclamation. @WWEUsos & the #RhodesDynasty may be bonded by blood, but talent outperforms tradition. Believe that. #HIAC,” he wrote on Twitter.
Tonight at WWE Hell in a Cell, Cody Rhodes and Goldust will defend the WWE Tag Team Championship against the team of Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, as well as Jey and Jimmy Uso. Should the Usos capture the gold tonight, it will be in honor of their late uncle, Umaga, who they pay tribute to inside the ring through face paint.
“We owe our whole wrestling careers to my late uncle Umaga,” said Jimmy. “He was the one who grabbed us from a bad situation in a bar at 2:30 in the morning, and drove use from Houston, Texas, to Florida, where he lived. He told us we needed to change our lives because it wasn’t working out. That’s why our paint tribute is so cool. Every time we put it on, I still feel like he’s there with us. It makes us feel like part of The Samoan Bulldozer. We’re a bulldozer, we’re reckless. We can’t get hurt. Bulldozers are made to knock stuff down. And that’s how we feel when that paint is on us. It’s the coolest thing ever man. I love getting painted up because my uncle is here with us. It’s all because of him.”
Jey adds, “No one ever knows our struggle. We say, “Day 1,” every day. They don’t see behind what got us here, how we had to work to get here. And when we got here, we had to keep working, keep pushing. The day we do win the Tag Team Titles, that’s for my family. That’s for all the Usos around the world, especially Umaga. That’s No. 1 for him. My first title win is strictly for Umaga—he knows that, and my brother knows that.”
Jimmy also explained what the term “Uce” means—friends of Umaga would often refer to him by that name and it is often used around the Usos: “Uce means your friend. I even said that to Cameron’s boyfriend, whom I just met not long ago. He was like, “What do you keep calling me?” It means “brother” in Samoan. It means you’re my friend. It’s another slang word for “bro,” or something of that nature. My brother says it so much. When we hear some of the boys calling each other, they say that. It’s pretty cool. We heard Wade Barrett talking to Heath Slater once, and he said, “Yeah Uce!” That’s funny. I was like, what the…? It catches on like that. I introduced myself to my fiancée as “Uce” when we first started talking. That’s weird. And Umaga’s dog’s name was Uce. I want to name mine that when I get one.”
Daniel Bryan, who will face Randy Orton tonight at WWE Hell in a Cell, spoke with PWInsiderTV yesterday at Ringsidefest in New York City about entering the Cell for the first time in his career, the pressure of working WWE pay-per-view main events and how it compares to working on top elsewhere in the world, advice Shawn Michaels gave him, his engagement to Brie Bella, whether we’ll ever bring the “Final Countdown” theme song to WWE and more.
Much has been said online about WWE’s handling of ongoing storyline for the WWE Championship, as Bryan’s never-ending chase for the gold has left may fans upset. In response to the fan criticism, Bryan remarks, “Let them be critical.”
He explains, “I’ve always thought that. The fans have the right to say what they what and to be critical about something. If you don’t like it, say it. We live in a free country and the problem is that people don’t voice their opinions enough. People sit on their hands too much and don’t say what they want, say what they really believe in. If they believe that, say it. And that’s good, because constructive criticism is always good to me, and the company can take it how they want to. They listen to it, and if they look at it and say, “Oh wait a second, they don’t have any valid points. We want them to be upset.” Hey, that’s okay. But if they look at it and say, “That is a valid point, we might need to change something.” That’s the basis for change to me, is constructive criticism and people going against the norm.”
While Bryan doesn’t feel pressure competing in WWE pay-per-view main events, he still gets nervous. Bryan, who was trained by Michaels, revealed a piece of advice given to him by the WWE Hall of Famer: “Shawn Michaels told me when I was training, if you don’t get nervous before you step through that curtain, then you probably shouldn’t do this anymore. So there’s always that little bit of nervousness because you want to go out there and you just want to give people everything that you got and you want to give them a great match, and all that kind of stuff, especially when you’re in the main event. But the nerves of having to follow something…the only time I really felt that was at SummerSlam, when I was watching CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar and going, “Oh my gosh. We have to follow this!”
-Independent pro wrestler out of Cincinnati, Danny Todd, portrayed the “CM Skunk” character on Friday’s edition of WWE SmackDown. Skunk was the opponent of Ryback and Paul Heyman in the two-on-one handicap match on this week’s show. Todd has worked regularly in the past for the Northern Wrestling Federation (NWF).
-The following is the latest tweet from the official Twitter page of WWE Superstar John Cena, who makes his in-ring return for the company on Sunday night in Miami, Florida for the “Hell In A Cell” pay-per-view:
The following are highlights from a recent Miami Herald interview with WWE Superstar John Cena:
On returning from his injury and surgery: “”This one has just been about me getting back healthy, because I haven’t had a match in eight weeks, I really just want to be as strong and as ready to go as possible. When you’re in the element everyday and you can really be around your competition, that’s when you can come up with breaking it down a little more with your opponent. This will essentially be like the first game of the season for me. It just so happens to be with all the importance of the last game of a season. I’m really excited to be back, and I really think this Sunday is going to be special, and hopefully, I can shake that Miami jinx.”
On working with Alberto Del Rio in his return match: “Anyone who can be a champion at our level deserves respect. I tend not to be the guy who runs everybody down because I’ve had my share of wins and my share of loses…You can’t ignore the fact he’s the World heavyweight champion.”
On his personal real-life relationship airing on Total Divas: “That was difficult, but I’m glad I made the decision to do that, and a lot of that had to do with Nicole’s influence, obviously. I really wanted the show to be a success. I truly love Nicole, and I believe in her. It was a conscience decision for me to do it. I think our viewers will enjoy the second half of the first season that’s coming back in mid-November on the E! network. As the show grows, it gets better and more interesting to watch, and I think fans will enjoy it this time around.”
On doing movies: “Movies are a different animal. I love the live entertainment business. I love the live sports entertainment television business. I love live television period, just because it’s so honest, especially live television with an audience, because if that audience wants to say or do something, you can’t hide it from the viewers. Movies are a little bit different. It takes a lot more patience to be in a movie, to make a movie, to be active in a movie scene. I have patience, but I don’t know if I have enough.”

– After concluding six months of filming for Hercules: The Thracian Wars last week, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is crossing over to filming for Fast & Furious 7, where “The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment” reprises his role as the hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs.
Fast & Furious 7 will hit theaters in July 2014, while Hercules: The Thracian Wars comes out the following month.
– Promoting Hell in a Cell, the official YouTube account has released a WWE ’13 simulation of CM Punk vs. Ryback and Paul Heyman, as AJ Lee vs. Brie Bella.
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what JR said about:
Sunday’s WWE Hell In A Cell pay-per-view: It will be interesting to see how different the two Hell in a Cell matches are this Sunday on the next , WWE PPV. Because the handicap match featuring CM Punk vs. Paul Heyman and Ryback is more of an ‘attraction,’ so making the two, HIAC matches unique should be less challenging.”
“The money in that HIAC match is obviously Punk closing the current chapter on his issue with Heyman. In the old days, we cranky, old veterans like to use that term when possible, Heyman’s fate would come to a graphic and definitive end. As I said, in the old days. Heyman means more to the match that does any of his villains. I expect Heyman to lose consciousness and to be stretchered out.”
“Hopefully, Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton will establish a helluva wrestling match before they start to utilize all the gimmicks that the giant, steel structure provides. That gives the fans the best of both worlds or so it would seem to me. Logic says that the underdog wins but who knows now days…?”
“The returning John Cena World Title Bout vs. the champion Alberto Del Rio feels a touch lost in the shuffle. Perhaps because it was made essentially out of no where or perhaps, Del Rio has little momentum, or because Cena is returning early from his surgery and he doesn’t feel as if he’s been gone that long to make his return even more special.”
The job the announcers did on Monday’s RAW: “Happy to hear the announce team Monday night point out that ADR would likely target Cena’s arm Sunday on PPV. Any time announcers can make believable, common sense points, no matter if they are a play by play guy or a color analysts, it helps the storytelling. However, telling back stories and constantly trying to fill in gaps in creative while story telling at the expense of not getting talent ‘over’ is a kiss of death. Conversational story telling doesn’t always facilitate the imperative, emotional investment needed to establish and build stars of which the business revolves around.”
Offers he’s been receiving lately: “Getting lots of offers to do a variety of things in New Orleans during WM30 week but so far I’ve declined as we’ve got other thoughts in mind at this time. Stay tuned.”
“I talked to Cowboy Bill Watts this week, who’s doing well by the way, and brainstormed with him about a potential gig that he might want to do during WM30 week but it has nothing to do with what I’m pursuing.”
His thoughts on the WWE Hall Of Fame: “Still getting tons of WWE Hall of Fame questions that I have no answers for but I will say that it is a head scratcher why men like Lou Thesz and Dan Hodge have not ben inducted. These two men, among others obviously, are no brainers. How can a viable argument be made as to why not?”
-In addition to being planned as the top two matches at Sunday’s WWE Hell In A Cell pay-per-view, both Randy Orton vs. Daniel Bryan and John Cena vs. Alberto Del Rio are being advertised locally for next Tuesday night’s WWE SmackDown television taping, likely as post-show dark matches.
-On Wednesday’s edition of the Howard Stern Radio Show, frequent caller and member of the “Wack Pack,” Eric The Midget, informed Stern that TNA Impact Wrestling star Magnus was interested in dating Stern’s co-host, Robin Quivers. They showed Quivers a photo of Magnus and she apparently seemed interested.
– During The Usos vs. The Shield match on Monday’s RAW, JBL criticizing Cody Rhodes while they were both doing commentary was a result of Vince McMahon pushing JBL to do so. Vince often feeds lines to all 3 RAW announcer, but when he has something he really wants to get across, he will have JBL do it.
Vince was reportedly very frustrated with Cody, because he did not take Vince’s direction to be aggressive on commentary.
– WWE creative is working one some kind of segment between The Miz and Bray Wyatt for Sunday’s WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. Since Wyatt is injured and not returning to the ring for a few more weeks, it’s possible we’ll see the Wyatt Family beat down Miz on the show to build momentum towards an eventual match with Bray.
– Heading into Hell in a Cell this Sunday, Daniel Bryan opens up about his mental preparation and how he plans on defeating Randy Orton for the WWE Championship.
“This is my first Hell in a Cell match and I’m not afraid of it the least bit. I’m keeping my focus.” said Bryan. “And Randy, at Hell in a Cell, you’re going to get your head kicked in.
“My name is Daniel Bryan and I’m a professional wrestler.”
– Sheamus, who has been sidelined since August due to a torn labrum in his shoulder, participated in an anti-bullying rally today in Orlando, Florida, with a clean shaven look. He apparently plans to regrow it as he posted a message on Twitter asking fans which beard style he should follow.
– Ryback is seeking a cover for Muscle & Fitness, a national bodybuilding and fitness publication. He wrote to their Twitter account on Wednesday, “Hey @muscle_fitness when are you guys gonna put The Big Guy Ryback on the cover? It is time for Ryback to Rule M&F.”
At Tuesday night’s WWE SmackDown tapings, it was announced that Los Matadores will face The Real Americans at Sunday’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view from Miami, Florida. With that match set, here’s the updated card:
