10 WWE Super ShowDown 2020 Impulse Reactions

10. AJ Styles Vs Andrade Vs Bobby Lashley Vs Erick Rowan Vs R-Truth Vs...

“The Prestigious Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy” was both prize and omnipresent buzzphrase as Super ShowDown began in fatalistic fashion with yet another one of these weird gauntlet matches they’ve been happy to pad out time with when a Battle Royal isn’t worth the admin aggro.

Corey Graves threat that it could go all night was scarier than something one of the wrestlers tweeted the last time they got stuck in the country, but thankfully WWE kept this one within logical limits as R-Truth got the synergistic shine ahead of an overdue 24 Special airing immediately after the event.It was frustratingly 50/50, even if he went over three guys before AJ Styles polished him off. Lashley got caught then battered f*ck out of him after the fact, Andrade cracked heads with him following a missed back fist and Erick Rowan got disqualified because that cage gimmick hasn’t been abandoned yet.

Styles was hugely over even working overtime on his sh*thouse heel schtick, and appeared to have the whole thing won when The OC did a number on Rey Mysterio backstage.

But it is WrestleMania season...
