PLAY BY PLAY

It’s the WWE Super Showdown Kickoff show!

Join Charly Caruso, Beth Phoenix and David Otunga in the studio as they recap and predict the action that could be equal to or greater than Wrestlemania!

Paul Heyman speaks.

The Advocate has been authorized to advocate Brock Lesnar’s position. Lesnar brutalized Seth Rollins yet did not cash-in. So why didn’t he do that? The week before Wrestlemania, Rollins kicked Lesnar low, and then did it again AT Wrestlemania to steal the title. Do you think Lesnar will let any being get away with that? Lesnar took a chair on Monday to exact a price from Rollins’ body, because Lesnar can. And now that Rollins has paid, it’s time for a new payment: the WWE Universal Championship. Because Lesnar promises to cash in, and take the title away from “Set Freakin’ Rollins.” Will Jeddah become Suplex City for the Beast in the Bank?

WWE superstars speak on the historic 50-Man Battle Royal.

This is the biggest battle royal ever in WWE History, but there can only be one winner. Ricochet promises as the One and Only to be that last man left. Robert Roode says that tonight, live from Jeddah, an opportunity awaits. An opportunity to be the man of holding this historic honor. 50 men enter, one is left standing, and that man will be #AbsolutelyGLORIOUS. Will either of these two men be the historic winner? Or will one of the other 48 take their place?

Backstage interview with WWE Universal Champion, Seth Rollins.

Before touching on what Brock Lesnar did to him on Raw, the obvious question is how he’s feeling. Well if it’s about being 100%, he’s not. Who would be 100% after what Lesnar did to Rollins’ body? But it is what it is. Everyone expects Lesnar to cash-in before the night is over, so how is that affecting Rollins going towards Baron Corbin. Rollins said he would be a fighting champion, so he’s here in Jeddah to do that. The Lone Wolf is a lot of things but he is the #1 contender. Rollins will face Corbin, stomp Corbin out and beat him to retain the title. If Lesnar keeps his word and does show, Rollins will be ready for the Beast. Will the Architect have a double tough double header before he heads home for the States?

More superstars speak on the battle royal.

Heavy Machinery are bringing #BlueCollarSolid to Jeddah, so it’s fitting the literally biggest tag team is in the biggest battle royal ever. 50 men is 500 toes to step on! They’ll get the other 480 out, but then it’ll come down to their 20. Rusev has gone toe-to-toe with the likes of the Undertaker, but he will CRUSH the rest of the field! Whose 10 toes will be standing tall in the ring?

Kickoff – The Usos VS The Revival!

Jimmy & Jey have pulled pranks and poked fun at the #TopGuys over that very attitude. But when these two teams actually faced off, Dash Wilder & Scott Dawson pulled off a win by pulling some tights. Will the Uso Penitentiary lock Dash & Dawson up this time? Or will The Revival break out once and for all?

Winner: Seth Rollins, by pinfall; still WWE Universal Champion

The Lone Wolf’s temper gets the better of him, and the Architect uses that to get through! But then Corbin comes back to give him END OF DAYS! “A sore loser” should also be added to Corbin’s list of accolades. But worse yet, here comes THE BEAST!! The Beast in the Bank has his Advocate carrying the briefcase. They promised Friday, and that’s today! Rollins can barely move as Brock Lesnar marches down to the ring, a chair in hand again. Lesnar and Heyman get in the ring, though Heyman falls over! Rollins gives Lesnar a low blow! Rollins sees he has an opening, and uses the chair to SMACK Lesnar! The Architect returns those chair shots in full!

Each SMACK keeps the Beast from using his briefcase. Lesnar grabs the briefcase but that leaves him vulnerable to more chair shots! Rollins dares Lesnar to cash in now! And asks how it feels to be on the other side of the SMACKS! Lesnar even uses his briefcase as a shield, but Rollins won’t stop. Heyman panics as Rollins CURB STOMPS Lesnar on the briefcase!! The Beastslayer staves off a cash-in, but that is just one night in the full year Lesnar still has. Will Rollins keep Lesnar from cashing in when we’re back in the States?

Brock Lesnar takes his time leaving the ring. Rollins really battered the Beast. From the swelling and bruising, Rollins may have even broken Lesnar’s left elbow. Fans taunt Lesnar with “Nana na na, Hey Hey Hey~, good-bye~!” Will Mr. Money in the Bank be in any shape to cash-in any time soon?

Backstage interview with WWE Champion, Kofi Kingston!

Kofimania is joined by Xavier Woods as The New Day is here. When Doph Ziggler returned to attack Kofi, it was to take that title. With everything Kofi’s been through, is he concerned he can’t keep up with Ziggler’s intensity? The New Day chuckles at that. Is Kofi not intense? There’s more to a fight than intensity. This match is about more than just the title. Ziggler left Kofi beaten and battered. Kofi could’ve stayed on a stretcher but he forced himself to stand tall to show everyone what a champion really is.

Woods say Kofi isn’t just a champion, he’s a hero! Ghana loved Kofi’s homecoming! It was the best preparation Kofi could’ve had. Ziggler may be fighting with intensity, Kofi is fighting with purpose. Kofi will do this for everyone who has ever had a dream and believed in themselves. ZIggler obsesses, but Kofi will give Ziggler something new to obsess over: a night where Ziggler didn’t get the job done. And Kofi will remain the W, W, E, World, Heavyweight, CHAMPION!

Meanwhile, Samoa Joe is again the WWE United States Champion, but despite that, “no one was willing to step up and challenge me.” Therefore, Joe sets his sights on a different goal.

Winner: The Undertaker, by pinfall

Two legends collide, only one legend rises. Is this truly the last time Goldberg laces up his boots? Is the legacy of the Deadman not dead yet?

My Thoughts:

Well, despite how it sounds here, Super Showdown was not a Wrestlemania equivalent as the WWE marketing kept saying. At least, not the most recent Wrestlemania. This was more or less what Raw has been in recent months under Vince’s steady decline into madness. This was more like WWE Screeching Halt, because it started off really fun, but things were just grating by the end. I don’t know about anyone else, but my WWE Network stream was rather jittery for the majority, and that did nothing but enhance how the matches in the middle were not paced well. That, and this was did nothing for status quo, so it was really just Super Filler Show.

The Usos VS Revival was good, because both teams are just really good. If only Vince had done better in the build of this rivalry up to this point. Balor VS Almas was good, but this was another case of needing a better build. Beth Phoenix framed the story so much better in just a few minutes than Vince did over several weeks. The one good surprise was that Shane won, but obviously it was thanks to cheating. Honestly, even fans who disliked Roman’s super push should’ve sided with Roman winning this one, but nope. Guess this keeps things going for Stomping Grounds or something. For that matter, that was how all the title matches went. Despite great matches, Rollins wins because they book Corbin so arrogant yet dense, and Kofi wins with help, so obviously these continue to Stomping Grounds and so on.

That Handicap match should’ve been booked differently, too. Obviously Lars was going to win, but he should’ve done it much faster, because it really just dragged on. HHH VS Orton was actually pretty good, but could’ve used a half step faster pacing. I do appreciate them teasing that Legend Killer kick, but it was a bit much for HHH to survive an RKO once only to run into one last one. Strowman VS Lashley was another good but badly paced match, which again made that entire middle section seem sluggish. But again, the lag might’ve been part of that. I doubt the stream being smooth would’ve helped that much, though. And nothing would’ve changed that 50-Man from starting out as a complete mess. That is literally too many people in the ring at one time.

One problem of it was also who eliminated who. I suppose a battle royal and its over-the-top rule shouldn’t reflect on a wrestler’s power level, but how is it big name tag teams were being dealt with by one person?! Titus O’Neil takes out the Viking Raiders, Matt Hardy takes out The Revival, because of what? Vince’s weird sense of humor? For that matter, as great as it was for Sin Cara to eliminate Nakamura, shouldn’t that have been the other way around? And honestly, I should’ve seen Saudi Arabia’s own winning this. This is nothing on Mansoor, but it seems like he’s just the poster boy for this controversial and grating partnership of WWE and KSA. Let’s hope Manny makes the most of this while he’s in NXT or else this is all he’ll ever be.

And lastly, despite all the hype, despite how great it sounded, despite how great both men did in their promos this week and how great it looked for them to stand in the ring together from SmackDown, this really needs to be the only time we see Taker VS Goldberg, and the last time either guy actually tries to wrestle. The Jeddah fans loved seeing it, but they were perhaps too blinded by excitement to realize just how dangerously real the landings on the Tombstone and Jackhammer were. I hope neither guy is concussed, that was honestly scary. Taker’s choke slam to finish was clearly a merciful and emergency ending so Goldberg could get patched up and checked out. Something needs to be done, starting with the Vince problem.

My Score: 6.9/10
