WWE Referee Explains Controversial Decision To End The Hell In A Cell Main Event

Above is this week's episode of The Bump from WWE, featuring host Kayla Braxton with Matt Camp, Evan Mack, McKenzie Mitchell, Ryan Pappolla and Dan Vollmayer.

This week's episode featured a guest appearance by WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley, plus a phone call from Tommaso Ciampa. The crew also did a Mock WWE Draft to promote Friday's Draft kickoff on SmackDown.

As seen below, WWE referee Rod Zapata provided a quote to the show in regards to the controversial finish to "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt vs. WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins at Sunday's WWE Hell In a Cell pay-per-view.

"With Bray motionless and Seth clearly doing whatever it was going to take to win that match... I had to think of the competitor's safety and at that moment I did what I thought was best," Zapata's statement read.

As noted, the official result to the HIAC main event was "Match Stoppage" by the referee. It's believed that Wyatt will get a rematch at WWE Survivor Series on November 24.
