Before breaking down Sunday's WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, Graham "GSM" Matthews kicks off WrestleRant Radio with some news and notes from the past week in wrestling including 205 Live moving to Wednesday nights and whether it will help the brand at all, Alexa Bliss dropping out of Mixed Match Challenge, Rey Mysterio signing a two-year deal with WWE (for real this time), Madison Rayne signing with Ring of Honor and why WWE should have picked her up, former IMPACT star Mahabali Shera being released from WWE while Andrew Everett leaves IMPACT, Shane Helms visiting the WWE Performance Center as a guest trainer, and Matt Hardy teasing in-ring retirement.
From there, GSM gives his full thoughts on Hell in a Cell and discusses the extreme Hell in a Cell match between Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton, Becky Lynch winning her second SmackDown Women's Championship, the Raw tag team division being given new life thanks to two teams, Samoa Joe coming close to capturing the WWE Championship, Brock Lesnar making a surprise return, and why Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman was one of the worst Hell in a Cell matches in many years. On top of all that, GSM has plenty to say about the latest editions of Raw and SmackDown Live! He's talking the new Crown Jewel show in Saudi Arabia, Kane being set for WWE Super Show-Down, Bobby Roode nearing a heel turn, Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush making their partnership official, Nia Jax returning, Roman Reigns defending his Universal Championship in the main event, Aiden English turning on Ruesv, Andrade "Cien" Almas impressing once again against AJ Styles, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair continuing their heated rivalry, and much more!
