1. The Show Lasts Three Hours

There's zero need for WWE to kick the arse out of this one.

Ask anyone, and they'd likely agree that a solid three-hour show would be better than an overblown attempt to beat WrestleMania's duration for the sake of internal bragging rights. At time of writing, Super ShowDown's card has nine matches. That's seven less than 'Mania had, so it'd be wise not to go overboard here.

WWE should want people to enjoy Friday's show for the stadium setting and big marquee matches like Goldberg vs. 'Taker and Triple H vs. Randy Orton without sacrificing an entire day out of their lives. WrestleMania can justify that because of its standing with fans, but these Saudi shows already come with some political baggage that sullies them before they start. Brevity is important for their success.

Three hours is enough, especially with the week already having three hours of Raw, two of SmackDown, one each for 205 Live and NXT, and with another (Stomping Grounds) to come in a fortnight. Besides, some of the matches, including Goldberg vs. The Undertaker, could do with being short.

What else do you think must happen at Super ShowDown 2019? Let us know down in the comments section below!
