Did A Venue Just Spoil A Pay Per View Card?

Dude give us some warning! Pay per view cards can be tricky. You can sometimes guess what’s coming at the next show, but other times there is almost no way of knowing what you might be getting. Sometimes you can get a hint, and sometimes a surprise source, like the venue itself, lets you know what you’re going to get. That seems to be the case for next month’s pay per view offering.

The AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas, the site of this year’s Hell in a Cell pay per view, seems to have spoiled three matches on the September 16 show. On their Twitter account, the arena has announced Jeff Hardy vs. Randy Orton. On their website, the arena is announcing Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens and WWE Champion AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe. This would suggest that Styles will be retaining at the upcoming Summerslam. Of course these matches are all subject to change.

What does Reigns think of the Cell?

Opinion: These matches aren’t the most surprising, though Reigns vs. Owens is rather random. It wouldn’t be shocking to see Styles vs Samoa Joe continue and Orton vs. Hardy is pretty obvious in the first place. These things might change, but most of them would make sense. Imagine that: the Monday Night Raw match doesn’t make as much sense (yet) as the SmackDown counterpart. Why do I have a feeling that it will be the case after we’ve seen how we’re getting there too?
