WWE Super ShowDown 2020: 5 Overlooked Positives

5. No Legends Ended Up Hurting Each Other (Or Themselves)

The two legends that showed up at Super ShowDown only had eyes for younger opponents, and with that, we can all breathe a sigh of relief.

One of the major issues with these super-sized shows is their overreliance on part-time veterans and dream matches that we've either seen far too many times or ones that we should have seen long ago instead of now. Thus, while these veterans should be spending the remainder of their in-ring careers taking on younger superstars who can play to their strengths and carry them to solid matches, they tend to find themselves taking on each other instead... something that inevitably leads to injuries.

If you cast your mind back to Crown Jewel 2018, Triple H ended up nearly tearing his arm off while Shawn Michaels landed directly on his face. Less than a year later at Super ShowDown 2019, Goldberg knocked himself silly by running straight into the turnbuckle and very nearly dropped The Undertaker on his head (he also released too early in the Tombstone which nearly resulted in him landing on his own head).

It doesn't take a genius to see that it's not wise forcing these legends to batter each other in the blistering heat, so at the very least, we can all be thankful that WWE appears to have learned one of the many lessons we've been waiting for them too as not one of those matches were in sight at this year's Super ShowDown.
