Braun Strowman (Hell in a Cell)Becky Lynch v. Charlotte Flair (Evolution)As always, there were some better matches than the ones here, but they were by the B-listers, and WWE's "Best Of" DVDs are strictly A-List affairs. All respect to Roman Reigns, but we didn't need three matches of him; Also didn't need Nia "two moves" Jax either. And AJ Styles had at least three matches better than the one with Samoa Joe. OTOH, the Women's MITB deserves to be here, as do two matches from Charlotte Flair v. Becky Lynch and holy hannah, one Miz match per disc!?! Awesome!!YMMV

The Cell came into play in the opening minute with bodies being rammed into it repeatedly along with using their surrounding environment either as a weapon or to make their signature offense more impactful as more weapons would be utilized with some of them being completely destroyed over the body with one superstar using his opponent's momentum against him while the other was able to keep stopping his opposition's dead in their tracks as both men continued to use their signature moves repeatedly catching their opponent off guard utilizing the weapons available with allies & enemies of both men making their presence known to the point where there were bodies laid out everywhere & only one person left standing in the ring in a good Cell match with a bad ending for this type of match.Hell In A CellLast Woman Standing Match: SmackDown Womens Champion Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair - Both women started off an early series of avoiding each other's offense before one was able to get an advantage mocking their opponent & being the first to utilize a weapon before both of them had the same idea starting to fill the ring up & utilizing chairs in various ways from a weapon to making their offense more impactful landing either their opponent or themselves onto the chairs as both women continued to use more weapons utilizing them in unique ways & taking some high risk not paying off with the match being unable to stay contained in the ring & around ringside in what was nothing less than a very physical fight between both women.EvolutionAs usual with these types of releases, the match selection is subjective as some of the more quality encounters are left out in favor of other matches representing either a specific wrestler or moment but overall is an enjoyable release that I would recommend for a collector or those who don't have access to the WWE Network.

Muy buenos encuentros.
