Tiffany checks in on WWE’s trip to Jeddah in the latest Tiffany’s Takes: WWE Super ShowDown!

It’s time for the second WWE Super ShowDown. Was WWE hotter than the desert?

Universal Championship Match – Seth Rollins vs Baron Corbin: Well, looks like Brocky from the Block needs to go back to the drawing board, or maybe an orthopedist. That was a surprisingly good match between Rollins and Corbin, especially considering that Rollins is hurt from his beatdown at the hands of Brock Lesnar on Monday. However, the real story is that Mr. Money in the Bank kept his word and tried to cash in on Rollins, but got the surprise of a lifetime when Rollins turned the tables. Seriously, watching Rollins beat the shit out of Lesnar with that chair was the best thing to watch, however, Lesnar should probably get his elbow looked at because it was looking nasty.

Also, did we REALLY need WWE to try and have another Titus moment with Heyman? Was that REALLY necessary. It was so clearly staged, grade school plays were rolling their eyes.

WWE Championship Match – Kofi Kingston vs Dolph Ziggler: I’m not a fan of the way this match was set up or the storyline behind it, but that was a great match. Ziggler and Kingston always put on great matches, and this was no exception. I was a little puzzled by Woods’ intervention, since New Day seems set on letting Kingston defend the title without help, but we’ll see what happens on Tuesday.

I’m NOT happy about Ziggler getting a rematch at Stomping Grounds. I do not want to sit through another few weeks of Ziggler whining about he was more deserving of that WrestleMania moment sitting at home than Kingston.

Intercontinental Championship Match – Finn Balor vs Andrade: The Demon came to Jeddah with the Intercontinental Championship and walked out with it too. I LOVED this match. Balor and Andrade definitely has a ‘fight forever’ kind of rivalry. I did NOT envy Balor having all that makeup on during that match, I’m surprised he could still see. I’ll give Andrade credit, he definitely gave the Demon more of a fight than most people who have to deal with Balor’s alter ego, but Balor is still Intercontinental Champion and we’ll have to see who’ll step up first.

The Usos vs The Revival: Well, this high school rivalry looks to live another day. Usos beat the Revival in a REALLY great match that let both teams show off why they are the best teams in WWE, however, the damage done by having the Usos kick this feud off by acting like obnoxious kids at the Revival’s expense. However, since the Revival are part of Shane’s Corporation, maybe this feud will get the serious treatment it needs.

Roman Reigns vs Shane McMahon: What the actual hell was that?! Reigns LOST to Shane McMahon, who can’t even walk down the ramp without sweating like the devil in church?! Okay, Shane had a BIG assist from Drew McIntyre (Boringtyre?)because Vince never likes to admit defeat, even when it’s been clear for months that the fans have no interest in McIntyre. The fact still remains that Roman Reigns lost to Shane McMahon by pinfall, extending this feud which should’ve been over by now. Hopefully, this will get resolved sooner than later, but I’m not holding my breath after that match.

Time to pick up a new Chairshot shirt!

50 Man Battle Royal: When I first heard about this show, I thought it was going to be another Royal Rumble, so it being a Battle Royal was a surprise. However, I did like that they had Mansoor, who is from Saudi Arabia, win it, even though no one else in the WWE Universe probably know or care who he is. A very nice way to get the home country crowd happy after a long show.

Lars Sullivan vs Lucha House Party: That happened. It was dumb and nonsensical, but it happened. Let’s move on.

Bobby Lashley vs Braun Strowman: I’ll give these guys their due, for two guys who aren’t good in the ring, they put on a reasonably good match and by ‘reasonably good’, it wasn’t the drizzling shits. Strowman won, maintaining whatever momentum he still has, but I don’t think Lashley has had a win in months. I don’t know where this feud is supposed to go now, but I’m ready for it to be over.

Triple H vs Randy Orton: Triple H and Randy Orton have had one of the most convoluted relationships in recent WWE history, sometimes friends and allies, sometimes BITTER enemies. If one thing can be said for this decade and half long feud, it’s that these two can always have good matches, even if the build for this match was dumb.

I was surprised that Triple H lost, but since no careers were on the line, it’s probably not going to mean much storyline wise for now, but it does make me wonder who Triple H will feud with now. Ric Flair is in no shape to wrestle again, the feud with Taker is done, Batista is retired, and he just lost to Orton. Who’s next? NO, not HIM, either!

Undertaker vs Goldberg: I have a question: Why are we so determined to see the stars of the 90s continue to go at it even when it’s clear that those guys can’t go the way we, and they, want them to? Even fifteen years ago, the idea of Undertaker facing Goldberg would’ve been a WrestleMania worthy match. The match that happened in Jeddah was as far from WrestleMania worthy as the Earth to the stars. Both guys did their absolute best to put on a match worth the name, but it’s clear that while Taker can do okay in a match, Goldberg can’t. Botches, premature color, Goldberg knocking himself out (his words, not mine) and bad finishes aside, it was an okay match. It couldn’t live up to the Dream Match hype at this stage, but both guys tried and that should be applauded. However, I don’t want a rematch and hope WWE ends the Seniors’ Division before one of these guys REALLY gets hurt.

Overall Comments: So, how was WWE Super ShowDown? It was pretty good. A lot of the matches were much better than I’d expected and the crowd was hot, both literally and figuratively and so were the performers, literally and figuratively.

I’m not surprised the cash in attempt on Rollins failed, I am surprised that no cash-in attempt on Kingston was made. However, considering that Mr. Money in the Bank was holding his elbow and said elbow looked swollen, I’m guessing he was busy with the trainers. I HATED the finish to Reigns vs McMahon. Even though it was a dirty finish due to McIntyre, the idea that Reigns actually lost by pinfall to Shane McMahon is ridiculous. Congrats to Mansoor who got a big win in front of his home nation, always good to keep the crowd on side.

Let’s never do Taker vs Goldberg again, ‘kay?

That’s it for Tiffany’s WWE Super ShowDown Takes! I’ll be back on Monday for Monday Night RAW!

Extra, extra read all about it… Chairshot Staff picks are in!!!

Published

June 6, 2025

PC Tunney

Sing it with me… money money money money moneeeeeeeeeyeeeeee… everybody’s got a price! MONEY IN THE BANK is here!!! How money will our staff picks be?!?

AJ – Roxanne Perez
Andrew – Stephanie Vaquer – *Bubba Sparxxx Impression* I don’t tell stories, I let them tell theyself.
Dave – Guilia – A stacked field but I just like her here.
DJ – Naomi
DPP – Roxanne Perez
Jason – Alexa Bliss
Patrick – Roxanne Perez
Rey – Naomi – If Naomi loses, we riot!
Rob – Naomi
Greg – Alexa Bliss – Bliss has had huge reactions since returning and is moving a ton of merch. While I can see them wanting to build Roxanne Perez, Giulia, or Stephanie Vaquer, I think Alexa Bliss.

Tunney’s Take: Rhea Ripley – I’ll make my case short and sweet… Mami in the Bank! You can’t leave that money on the table.

Chairshot Pick – Tie – Naomi 3 & Roxanne Perez 3 (Alexa Bliss 2, Giulia 1, Rhea Ripley 1, Stephanie Vaquer 1)

AJ – LA Knight
Andrew – El Grande Americano – Feels correct given his push and the fact he’s over.
Dave – Seth Rollins – Got to push that new faction.
DJ – LA Knight
DPP – El Grande Americano
Jason – LA Knight
Patrick – Solo Sikoa
Rey – LA Knight – Looks like another push, and he does have history with Cena.
Rob – Solo Sikoa
Greg – Seth Rollins – This company is extremely high in the El Grande Americano gimmick, but this match comes down to Seth Rollins or LA Knight. Given the Rollins storyline, it’s his briefcase to win.

Tunney’s Take: El Grande Americano – Picture this: Chad Gable wins the AAA Mega Championship and El Grande Americano wins MITB! WHAT A SATURDAY in LA!!!

Chairshot Pick – LA Knight 4 (El Grande Americano 3, Seth Rollins 2, Solo Sikoa 2)

AJ – Becky Lynch – Sadly
Andrew – Becky Lynch – I still don’t care about Lyra.
Dave – Lyra Valkyria – Starting to warm up to her and Becky has a lot to do with that.
DJ – Lyra Valkyria
DPP – Becky Lynch
Jason – Becky Lynch
Patrick – Lyra Valkyria
Rey – Becky Lynch – Put some fire on the Irish Beef.
Rob – Becky Lynch
Greg – Becky Lynch – I don’t think you do a rematch here just to have Becky lose again. Unless Bayley shows up to help Lyra.

Tunney’s Take: Becky Lynch – A big part of me feels that winning this title checks off a major box for Becks in her HOF career.

Chairshot Pick – Becky Lynch 8-3

AJ – Cena & Paul
Andrew – Rhodes & Uso – Easy way for Cena to lose without eating the pinfall.
Dave – Rhodes & Uso – Get the QB back on the winning track.
DJ – Rhodes & Uso
DPP – Rhodes & Uso
Jason – Cena & Paul
Patrick – Cena & Paul
Rey – Rhodes & Uso – Heels usually lose these kinds of matches. Logan takes the pin.
Rob – Cena & Paul
Greg – Rhodes & Uso – I hope Jey isn’t an afterthought here like Cody was last fall when he was paired up with Roman. I think Cody pins Cena to set up Cody-Cena 2 at SummerSlam.

Tunney’s Take: Cena & Paul – I don’t think Cena is involved in another loss until he loses the WWE Championship. I also think Logan Paul is NOT done trying to capture Jey Uso’s World Heavyweight Championship. …Travis Scott in the house?

Chairshot Pick – 6-5 Rhodes & Uso

Chairshot Staff Picks: Backlash St. Louis

Chairshot Staff picks!!!

Published

1 month ago

May 9, 2025

PC Tunney

May is upon us and with that, so is Backlash from St. Louis! What does the first PLE after WrestleMania have in store for the WWE Universe? Let’s see if the Chairshot Staff can properly interpret the crystal ball of rasslin’ future.

AJ – Pat MacAfee – Gunther has to start losing control and who better than an announcer.
Andrew – Pat MacAfee – Goldberg getting involved does seem correct here.
Dave – Gunther – He’s not losing to a broadcaster.
DJ – Gunther – Pat is sent to the shadow realm until football season is over.
DPP – Gunther – Post match beat down leads to Pat time off.
Jason – Gunther – One massive spot and or bump from Pat.
Patrick – Gunther
Rey – Gunther – RIP MacAfee, t’was a good life.
Rob – Gunther
Greg – Pat MacAfee – Why? Goooooldbeeerrrrrgggggg!

Tunney’s Take: Gunther – Seems like the right pick here. Pat may be getting some time off and Gunther needs more heat.

Chairshot Pick – GUNTHER 8-3

AJ – Lyra Valkyria – Becky’s hopefully putting her over, still mad about Dakota.
Andrew – Becky Lynch – I have no real interest in Lyra currently.
Dave – Becky Lynch – Lyra is boring AF!
DJ – Lyra Valkyria – Bayley interferes.
DPP – Becky Lynch – Becky cheats and steals the title.
Jason – Lyra Valkyria – Bayley costs Becks.
Patrick – Becky Lynch
Rey – Becky Lynch – Story needs to jump up a bit, Becky Charlotte’s Lyra.
Rob – Lyra Valkyria
Greg – Becky Lynch – It’s been fun, Lyra. (It kinda hasn’t)

Tunney’s Take: Lyra Valkyria – Bayley’s interference should set up some type of program with Becky as we head towards Summer(Slam).

Chairshot Pick – BECKY LYNCH 6-5

AJ – Jacob Fatu – Great way to put him over w/ two former WHCs and LA Knight.
Andrew – Jacob Fatu – He’s Jacob Fatu!
Dave – Jacob Fatu – Too soon to pull the belt off him.
DJ – Jacob Fatu – Priest and LA can’t decide who’s is bigger.
DPP – Jacob Fatu – Your hardcore match, tables and chairs involved.
Jason – Jacob Fatu – The Champ retains due to or in spite of Solo.
Patrick – Jacob Fatu
Rey – Jacob Fatu – All gas. No brakes. Ain’t losing.
Rob – Jacob Fatu
Greg – Jacob Fatu – Someone from The Samoan Dynasty ain’t winning a title just to drop it.

Tunney’s Take: Jacob Fatu – Uncle Mo is on Fatu’s side and other than Knight, I don’t see Drew or Priest holding the US title in the current circumstances of this title’s landscape.

Chairshot Pick – JACOB FATU 11-0

AJ – Dominic Mysterio – Judgement Day shenanigans just leading up to Finn turning on Dom later.
Andrew – Penta – Dom’s fine having a short reign, could also work for pushing AAA.
Dave – Dominic Mysterio – He’s probably more over than Penta.
DJ – Dominic Mysterio – Dirty Dom takes home the gold and the girl.
DPP – Dominic Mysterio – Big Head helps Dom pull out the win.
Jason – Dominic Mysterio – By hook and crook.
Patrick – Dominic Mysterio
Rey – Dominic Mysterio – Latino Heat keeps burning. Finn gets closer to the edge.
Rob – Dominic Mysterio
Greg – Dominic Mysterio – Someone from The Guerrero Dynasty ain’t winning a title just to drop it.

Tunney’s Take: Dominic Mysterio – That belt looks good with the king of chicken tendys. I can see Penta and Rey reforming as a tag team sooner than later.

Chairshot Pick – DOMINIC MYSTERIO 10-1

AJ – John Cena – Why? Cena wins, lol.
Andrew – John Cena – Shenanigans ensue so it’s not a clean win.
Dave – John Cena – The last time is now.
DJ – John Cena – Randy hears voices telling him he needs an Attitude Adjustment.
DPP – John Cena – Cena tries to cheat but the ref doesn’t call for a DQ.
Jason – John Cena – Nefarious means, Randy not ready for Evil John Cena.
Patrick – John Cena
Rey – John Cena – Cena just counting down the dates. Should be fun though.
Rob – John Cena
Greg – John Cena – You know they want Cody to be the hero in the end.

Tunney’s Take: Randy Orton – Once upon a time Randy got himself intentionally disqualified and it cost John. Saturday, history repeats itself with a 180-degree twist. Cena retains via Orton DQ victory. This time, Travis Scott’s appearance takes care of that task.

Chairshot Pick – JOHN CENA 10-1
