Happy Sunday, happy Father's Day and happy Hell In A Cell day. We have a stacked card tonight and I am really looking forward to it. Before we get to tonight, let's go through this week's top 5.

5 Worst Moments

How did this even happen? I now like and respect Grimes after what went down this Wednesday. I said last week I didn't like Knight and now look what he has done... That title needs to go to Grimes as soon as possible he is the only one fit to carry the million dollar legacy. Poor Ted.

GYV Lost! When will they catch a break, they should be tag team champions by now. It was such a good match but why did the Grizzled Young Veterans have to lose! They're one of the best tag teams in WWE, in regards to everything that makes superstars, they have it all. I really want them to win the NXT Tag titles and this isn't going to help them become number one contenders. One day they will be recognised as the world's number one.

I'm still trying to make sense of this. I know Smackdown is trying to get their ratings back up but is this not too much? Putting a Hell in a Cell match on Smackdown before the PPV just doesn't make sense to me. The biggest issue I had with this is that there was commercial breaks throughout what should be the main event of this Sunday's PPV. It takes the big fight feel away and the momentum drops for me every time there's an advert break. I thought there would be some controversy surrounding this match that would be settled on Sunday and that would be the reason but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I didn't like it last week, I didn't like it this week either. It was just a repeat of what happened last week and it wasn't particularly interesting. Like I've said before, they're really missing something with Elias and maybe things will be better when the crowds are back since a lot of his character revolves around the live crowds. It's very frustrating because a feel like he could be doing so much more.

This was all wrong! Most of us knew prior to the show that Eva wouldn't be wrestling and she would be accompanied by Niven but it was news to me that the announce team would pretend not to know her. How can Niven go from being one of the biggest NXT UK female superstars to someone without a name on Raw? This is off to a terrible start in my opinion. None of this felt right, I need to see more of Niven but this didn't seem like the girl most of us know and love something felt different and I don't like it one bit.

5. LA Knight

How did this even happen? I now like and respect Grimes after what went down this Wednesday. I said last week I didn't like Knight and now look what he has done... That title needs to go to Grimes as soon as possible he is the only one fit to carry the million dollar legacy. Poor Ted.

5 Best Moments

This really did make me chuckle. The record books are going to keep adding wins for Nikki because Charlotte can't focus. Her being counted out for gloating is just hilarious and I think Rhea's reaction made it 10 times better. I loved the amount of women's matches on Raw this week, this is what I want to see. I was very happy with most of them. I will be looking forward to this one tonight.

We've always known Shinsuke is the king of strong style but now he is officially the king of WWE. I wonder what Corbin is going to do now without the crown, he has latched on to being the king for so long that I don't know what will be next. I hope Boogs stays with Nakamura for a little longer he is a lot of fun.

Although it bothered me being on Friday night and not tonight, it was an amazing match, that cannot be denied. I loved all the different thing Rey brought out from under the ring, and I really love that Roman is always able to take care of everything alone, although he usually has Jey by his side he can get the job done alone too which is why he is the head of the table. Reigns submission finishers have been such a great touch to his repertoire, making him seem even more aggressive.

There is nothing that brings me greater happiness each week than Noam Dar and the Supernova Sessions. I'm not always the biggest fan of the talk show segments but Dar does it so well, I might have to get one of those Supernova 11 T-shirts just because he convinced me it was a good idea, "DJ, play that funky music" may just be my favourite thing I hear on NXT UK.

I am so happy to see Joe back in WWE, this is such a perfect role for him and I loved watching him put Adam Cole to sleep. NXT recently has been chaos so I think we will see a lot of Joe and let's hope people keep provoking him. I feel like we will have a lot of fun in the upcoming weeks.

5. Charlotte Loses To Cross

This really did make me chuckle. The record books are going to keep adding wins for Nikki because Charlotte can't focus. Her being counted out for gloating is just hilarious and I think Rhea's reaction made it 10 times better. I loved the amount of women's matches on Raw this week, this is what I want to see. I was very happy with most of them. I will be looking forward to this one tonight.
