7 Biggest Missed Opportunities From WWE Super ShowDown 2019
7. Failure To Portray Itself As Anything Other Than A House Show
Every time these super-sized international shows come around, Michael Cole does his absolute best to convince us that they are on par with WrestleMania. While that might seem true based on the massive arenas and aesthetically-pleasing staging, the creative team just never capitalises on the grandeur of the events, reducing them to nothing more than large-scale house shows.
Despite the criticism they faced after all three of their previous offerings, Super ShowDown was a classic example of how this company continues to learn absolutely nothing because, as so many of us already predicted, it was still just a glorified house show.
While the two headlining matches were never going to impact WWE's overall continuity, you would think that the rest of the card would. Yeah, well, unfortunately, you'd be wrong.
None of the defended championships changed hands and, to make matters worse, the creative team didn't even bother to make us think that there was ever a chance that they would as both Seth Rollins and Kofi Kingston had to defend their respective titles against challengers that were never realisitic threats.
Furthermore, if you're craving a real example of just how aware WWE is of Super ShowDown's lack of importance to the continuity, then look no further than Stomping Grounds - where those two pointless championship matches will now receive pointless rematches because, well, they gotta make them canon now, you know?
