Former WWE star Sean “X-Pac” Waltman recently took to his podcast, X-Pac 12360, to comment on this past weekend’s WWE Hell In A Cell pay-per-view. While the show had some great matches, the SmackDown Live Women’s Title bout between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair is what stole the show for Waltman.
Waltman said nothing came close to the match because of how great the storyline has been and how invested fans are in it:
“My favorite part of the show,” X-Pac said. “Nothing even came close. When Becky won it was the biggest pop of the night. It was the longest pop of the night. The match had sustained heat from beginning to end.
“It wasn’t like you could hear pin drops at different points in the match. People were in to it, they were invested in it.”
After the match, Lynch solidified her heel turn by refusing to shake Flair’s hand after winning clean. X-Pac says this is the best version of “The Irish Lass Kicker” and turning back would be a mistake:
“It was really cool after Becky won and her celebration in there and just the interaction between her and Charlotte at the end was great too. And boy did anyone see this sh-t coming with Becky a few months ago?…
“Start booking her like a face though it will screw it up so they just need to keep doing what they are doing with her… The sh-t that sticks out to me at Hell in a Cell is all having to do with the ladies this time. You know? Not that there wasn’t great stuff on the show but the real standout stuff was the ladies. For me personally.”
