What's with WWE (pro wrestling companies in general) trying to make their shows so ridiculously long? This isn't WrestleMania. Well, what are you going to do? After a few failing attempts at super long ppvs, WWE finally pulls through with 'Super Show-Down.' This year's Mania was lacklustre, Greatest Royal Rumble had like one or 2 good matches but stunk otherwise, but 'Super Show-Down' had matches that almost all delivered.
I am sick of the Fisherprice New Day as champions and I think the Bar should step aside from the main event scene. New Day won, but this was a surprisingly good bout. 8/10
Next is Becky Lynch vs Charlotte Flair for the Women's Championship. This is my favourite storyline on Smackdown right now. The background story with these two really helped propel the match itself, which is why I liked this more than most.
8.5/10
Next is the meaningless Kevin Owens and Elias losing to Bobby Lashley and a returning John Cena. Okay match. Even Cena's new move didn't bother me that much. 7/10
The hometown IIconics defeat Asuka and Naomi. Makes sense, but Asuka deserves better. 7/10
Best match (well, one of two) was AJ against Samoa Joe for the WWE title. It should have at least have been second to last. This match delivered. Of course Joe and AJ are very talented, but this was exceptional. I cannot wait for what's next with these two! 10/10
Next are Ronda Rousey and the Bellas vs the Riott Squad. What an overly predictable match. Obviously they will give it to Ronda and the reality stars. Good thing these girls are talented. 7.5/10
The cruiserweights are the unsung heroes of WWE with Cedric Alexander being the focal point for years and defending the title with glory since Mania. Buddy Murphy (I still don't believe he's a cruiserweight), the hometown hero wins a sensational match. 9/10
The Shield defeats Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre. The story here is great. This and the WWE Championship match were the best of the night. 10/10
Daniel Bryan defeats Miz in a number 1 contenders match in the blink of an eye. Matches this quick can be done well, but it wasn't here. 3.5/10
Last is the last time Undertaker (with Kane) against Triple H (with Shawn Michaels). It hurts me to say this, but these part-timers are not as good as they once were to the point that main eventing was a bad idea. I don't blame people for hating this. But it really got me invested, I must say. Triple H wins. The only reason Triple H wanted himself to win is because the win to loss ratio of him to the Undertaker is drastically uneven. Plus Triple H is younger than Undertaker. That is also why he beat Sting at Mania a few years ago. Respect was good after the match, but Undertaker deserved the win way more than Hunter. Great match, wrong winner, wrong time. 8/10
Overall 8/10
