7 Ups And 9 Downs From WWE Money In The Bank 2019

3. Showdown From An Undisclosed Location

WWE SUper Showdown

Sunday night, we got our first official look at the card for WWE’s latest PPV from Jeddah (which is somewhere abroad because it’s an international PPV).

Super Showdown in less than three weeks will feature Goldberg and Undertaker squaring off for the first time ever, which is insane when you consider the first two Saudi Arabia shows have been little more than glorified house shows. We also are getting Triple H versus Randy Orton, and Andrade facing Demon Balor for the Intercontinental Championship. (Why is Balor assuming the Demon persona? He only does that when the situation warrants it, not because the announcers declare it like this.)

And we also will get a 50-man battle royal, which sounds about as bad as it’s going to be. And yet again, WWE refuses to acknowledge the country they’re broadcasting from, because they’re clearly embarrassed by it, but not enough to forgo that sweet, sweet Saudi oil money.
