CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre; Hell In A Cell Match: as I said at WWE Bash in Berlin 2024 I am not a fan of overusing finishing moves as it relates to their Strap Match, I am of the old school belief where once and awhile you can kick out, but your finishing move should be protected, but other than that this is a hard-hitting opening and the surrounding content will also be reflected in my marking. This match/match slot receives: 9/10

Bayley vs. Champ Queen Nia Jax; Singles Match for the WWE Women's Championship: this is the best I have ever seen Jax, this is just proof that if she puts her mind to it she can actually wrestle, but I am still not a fan of her finish: The Annihilator. Because of the surrounding content this yet again will be reflected in my marking of this section. This match/match slot receives: 9/10.

The Terror Twins': Damian Priest vs. The Judgement Day's: One Half of the WWE World Tag Team Champions Finn Bálor; Singles Match: Cole gets Rhodes and Graves names mixed up, but Graves puts it right, then Graves gets a name wrong but he quickly corrects himself. For the wrestling itself; well it is good, but the outlay is the standard outlay for things to go on. This match/match slot receives: 7/10.

The Terror Twins': Rhea Ripley vs. The Judgement Day's: Champ Liv Morgan; Singles match for the WWE Women's World Championship; Dominik Mysterio will be suspended above the ring in a Shark Cage: the surrounding content is going to give this match slot another mark on top. We have the commentary team disrespecting the referee for this match/match slot Dan Engler, which seems to be a little bit justified based on at some point Ripley tells him what she has planned and he basically goes with fine [I know this because of the referee cam.] But it hasn't escaped my notice that there is very much a theme going on with this event, which I will discuss in the closing section of this content. This match/match slot receives: 7/10.

The Bloodline's: Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu vs. the Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns; Tag Team Match: our commentary team again make reference to Dan Engler as in this match/match slot we have Jason Ayers for the main event: I am purely guessing/speculating here, but I'm starting to think that this ongoing roasting of Engler is possibly a feud angle at some point down the line may be at WWE WrestleMania 41/2025, I could be completely wrong here, but at the same time if this kind of roasting continues then it is possible to speculate that something will eventually happen. Cole makes reference to this match being the biggest match of his career: well this is beyond stupid. How can this be the biggest match of his career? I mean for starters the championship is not on the line so he won't lose anything and even if the chairmanship was on the line, he wouldn't lose it here based on the fact that this event is just a general wrestling event, meaning unless it is a big name like SummerSlam or something he isn't losing it here in short I really disliked all of this unnecessary pageantry and including but not limited to this headwear/mask has got to go, I get and they understand the historic value here, but with Cole indicating yet again the importance of this match; from me this is already putting me in a foul mood.

Now the WWE has a problem; basically they have essentially shown with Rhodes' entrance compared to Reigns' entrance that Rhodes may as well just be a placeholder as Reigns gets equivalent of the King has returned entrance whilst Rhodes gets given the equivalent of a quarterback entrance as it gets referenced on commentary, another quarterback reference followed Cole making a slight mistake on commentary as it relates to the championship, with him correcting himself. In a nutshell the more you watch of this match slot the better it gets, but having said that it is somewhat difficult to look the beginning stages of this match slot including the opening slow section, so it is difficult to settle on anything higher from the beginning stages to the ending stages; so that ending stages is very entertaining, but then you get reminded in the back of your head of the beginning of this match slot, so based on that. This match/match slot receives: 7/10

The average mark of this pay-per-view is: 7/10, I went with this mark for two reasons; the first is this was the mark that I see most frequently and secondly I am not going to give you the precise figure but there is a lot of interference used in the bookings and outlays of these matches on this card in one way or another.
