Welcome to the Super Showdown for February 27, 2020.
Quick Notes
-Gallows and Anderson need matches like this to remind people how good of a tag team they are. The Viking Raiders lose nothing.
– R-Truth had a good showing going through a few competitors before taken down by a dancing AJ. The Undertaker playing judge on Gallows and Anderson( they beat up Rey before he got to the match) before destroying Styles sets up a later match.
– Miz and Morrison winning the titles is the right move as they can go against anybody. The question is will the New Day chase or move to another direction? The last time Miz and John held the titles was 11 years ago.
– Garza and Carrillo know each other so well you think they can have a match in their sleep. Garza is red hot right now and you can almost feel the push.
– It felt a little too early to take the titles from Rollins and Murphy. You get the feeling that we are building to the AOP turning on the group. The Street Prophets were definitely on the Hype Train tonight.
– Mansoor may never lose in front of his home country. It’s fun to check in with him during these show. Ziggler sold the hell out for him and made him look great.
– Ricochet was not going to beat Lesnar, but this quick match was a bit of a surprise. It will be interesting where Ricochet goes from here.
– If this is the last match with Reigns and Corbin, it was a good one to end on. No interference, no gimmicks, just two guys beating the hell out of each other.
– This match showed how progress is being made in regards to women’s matches. The first match, the ladies hugged it out afterwards. In this one, Bayley won and walked out with Naomi in pain in the ring. Just like any other match.
– Goldberg beating The Fiend was a huge surprise, but one that makes sense as the superhero can slay the monster. The big question is where do both men go after this with Wrestlemania season on the way?
