There could have been many reasons why Undertaker vs Goldberg was a flop

WWE Super ShowDown 2019: 3 Interesting stats following the event 

Super ShowDown had so much potential for making history as Brock Lesnar looked to be the first WWE star to cash in a Money in the Bank contract outside of America and June 7th could have become the first day in history that had two Money in the Bank cash-ins since CM Punk cashed in his contract on the same day at Extreme Rules in 2009.

Sadly, Lesnar's cash-in attempt didn't go to plan and instead Seth Rollins was able to leave The Middle East with his Universal Championship so that he could set up a match at Stomping Grounds against Baron Corbin.

Of course, this was the first time a Money in the Bank contract was teased to be cashed in as part of a show in Saudi Arabia, but there was so much more WWE could have done if the cash-in was allowed.

Kofi Kingston successfully defended his WWE Championship last night at Super ShowDown against Dolph Ziggler and even though he needed help from Xavier Woods to get the job done, this was the first time he was able to pin Ziggler on pay-per-view in his career.

Ziggler and Kingston have a storied history since The Showoff has taken the United States and the Intercontinental Championships from Kingston in the past and if he was able to win at last night's show he could have become a Grand Slam Champion in 2019, but this wasn't the case, Ziggler will now have to wait until his rematch inside a steel cage at Stomping Grounds so that he can once again attempt to lift WWE's most prestigious Championship.

#2. Oldest WWE singles main event?

Undertaker vs Goldberg was the oldest singles main event in WWE history

The WWE Universe has spent the past few hours Tweeting about how disappointing the main event of last night's Super ShowDown actually was. The issue here is that Undertaker is now 54 years old and Goldberg is 52 which means that this match definitely came a few years too late.

Added together there were 106 years in that main event last night which means that other than Crown Jewel last year, this was the oldest main event in WWE history. Both men held the longest undefeated streaks in WWE at one point and this was a match that many fans wanted to see much like Sting vs The Undertaker but the match itself proved that it was definitely a few years too late. Interestingly if Sting and Undertaker faced off in a WWE ring right now, there would be more than 114 years in that ring.

WWE promoted their biggest ever Battle Royal for last night's Super ShowDown event which included 50-men in one ring battling it out to be the winner. Interestingly Saudi Arabia's own Mansoor was the one who came out on top by last eliminating Elias to pop the crowd for the first time that night.

Even though the Battle Royal was billed to have included 50-men, it appears that WWE actually can't count since there were 51-men in the ring last night and here is the list of all of the participants to prove it.

Mansoor, Akam, Akira Tozawa, Ali, Apollo Crews, Bo Dallas, The Brian Kendrick, Buddy Murphy, Cedric Alexander, Cesaro, Chad Gable, Curt Hawkins, Curtis Axel, Dash Wilder, Drew Gulak, EC3, Elias, Eric Young, Erik, Heath Slater, Humberto Carrillo, Ivar, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Jinder Mahal, Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, Matt Hardy, Mike Kanellis, Mojo Rawley, No Way Jose, Oney Lorcan, Otis, Rezar, Ricochet, Robert Roode, Rowan, Rusev, Samir Singh, Samoa Joe, Scott Dawson, Shelton Benjamin, Shinsuke Nakamura, Sin Cara, Sunil Singh, The Miz, Titus O'Neil, Tony Nese, Tucker, Xavier Woods, and Zack Ryder.
