5 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Super Show-Down

1. Dogged Effort

Roman Reigns superman punched Dean Ambrose square in the face at the tail-end of a disconcertingly dull six-man tag between Raw's alleged top stars, but 'The Lunatic Fringe' showed his renewed toughness and at least a fragile loyalty by not only living to tell the tale but forgiving and forgetting long enough for 'The Hounds Of Justice' to neuter 'The Dogs Of War' in the red brand main event.

A crack in The Shield is ironically now the most exciting thing about their recent reunion. Injuries and illness scuppered their return last year, and the power of the hatred towards Roman Reigns has sadly polluted the audience's adoration for the once-beloved gimmick.

Ambrose scoring the win too aided his own argument that he is the unappreciated diamond in the group. A turn on either Reigns or Rollins would at this point make Dean the babyface - no unhinged promo will turn this crowd on the wildly popular star - but he should have the acting chops to pull off a turn when it does eventually come.

The feckless heels weren't enough of a threat to offer much in response anyway. Braun Strowman - the thicc idiot - threw away an advantage by attempting a wobbly splash from the top, whilst Drew McIntyre was unusually factored out of anything significant beyond one exciting save. The match was objectively fine too - though six more months of this would subjectively not be.
