20 Times WWE Was An Absolute Mess In 2020
2. Actually, Just Super ShowDown In General
Was this the worst show WWE has ever held in Saudi Arabia? No, but lets at least consider the evidence:-
1. The absurd, boring, and drawn-out gauntlet match for the Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy, which the announcers ridiculously put over as a grand, prestigious prize, despite it not even existing until a few weeks before Super ShowDown. The Undertaker wasn't even supposed to be involved in the match but somehow booked himself to win, apparently inheriting General Manager powers from beyond. Stupid.
2. Kofi Kingston taking a ridiculous, career-shortening bump to the outside, needlessly, in a third-gear SmackDown Tag Team Title match with The Miz and John Morrison, to no pop.
3. The least interesting version of an Angel Garza vs. Humberto Carrillo singles match imaginable.
4. Uhh, apparently Seth Rollins and Murphy wrestled The Street Profits. Anyone remember that one? No? Okay, me neither.
5. Diminishing returns on Mansoor, who is a regular on these shows for the hometown pop, but got next to nothing for his efforts against Dolph Ziggler.
6. Ricochet, lol.
7. Roman Reigns and Baron Corbin working one of the safest and most pedestrian Steel Cage matches in WWE history.
8. The tedious "world-changing" narrative surrounding Bayley and Naomi, which was again presented as a sign of progress in a nation that only started allowing women to drive in 2018.
9. Bray Wyatt vs. Goldberg.
What say you, Jeff Goldblum?
