10 Match Star Ratings For WWE Super ShowDown 2020

9. Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy Gauntlet Match

In which the heat company can't even get heat right for the love of hilarious Christ.

R-Truth and Bobby Lashley worked a halfway decent TV match in which Lashley took a hurricanrana. They worked quite hard, R-Truth's John Cena tribute act remains sweet almost, but Lashley's heat spot is bland and old-fashioned. R-Truth stole one - well, he stole more than one, which was fitting for a night on which WWE completely over-saturated every bad thing it does to the point of parody. This however didn't see a wild-eyed Truth look like he'd just encountered a religious experience by winning a pro wrestling match; he banged heads with Andrade and dumb-f*cked his way into the next phase.

Cute on paper, the crowd didn't care, undermining the sought-for underdog spirit. Truth then defeated Rowan, who has been built for three months, in three minutes of ostensibly nothing. Rowan attacked Truth after the bell, weakening him ahead of his next duel, with AJ Styles, who just taunted Truth with exaggerated, broad comedy mannerisms.

His arch plan was foiled - the Undertaker emerged in Rey Mysterio's place - and won the Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy with just one Chokeslam, even though Styles hadn't endured a single blow.

Undertaker Vs. AJ Styles began with a comedy angle. The Chokeslam looked like sh*t. 'Taker didn't bother to remove his Stetson nor take home the trophy. This company is a complete joke and you should therefore laugh at and not whine over it.

Sensational.
