From Goldberg and The Undertaker facing-off against each other in the ring to the 24/7 Title changing hands twice during the same night, this week's edition of WWE SmackDown Live (4th June 2019) featured a lot of contrasting moments indeed.

Except for the monumental showdown between Undertaker and Goldberg, I felt that the rest of the show was serviceable for the most part. Clearly, SmackDown Live's biggest problem at this point is that the show fails to make commercial news headlines excluding situations like the final segment of last night's show.

Here are a few interesting observations you may have missed during this week's edition of SmackDown Live.


#3: R-Truth's 24/7 Title shenanigans keep getting inventive each and every week

R-Truth is now a 4-time WWE 24/7 Champion!

Both RAW and SmackDown Live would feel incomplete without the 24/7 Title segments at this point.

As it is every week, R-Truth managed to get himself into trouble when Shane McMahon pulled some strings to book a 24/7 Title Lumberjack Match between R-Truth and Elias during last night's show.

Elias managed to become a 2-time WWE 24/7 Champion by winning that Lumberjack match. But just like last week, R-Truth won the title once again!

The manner in which R-Truth became a 4-time WWE 24/7 Champion was hilarious and quite inventive. Both of these men crawled under the ring followed by a referee, as R-Truth successfully pinned The Drifter for a three-count.

WWE also posted an exclusive video of what really happened under the ring on their Youtube Channel (video below).

As I have been saying every week, R-Truth's 24/7 Title segments never seem to run out of creative ideas, and one can only wonder what R-Truth will muster up during WWE Super Show Down this Friday, streaming live from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

#2: Why Alexa Bliss became the #1 contender for Bayley's SmackDown Live Women's Championship

Alexa Bliss became the #1 contender for Bayley's SmackDown Live Women's Championship despite being on the RAW Brand.

Vince McMahon's Wild Card Rule enables a couple of random wrestlers to appear on both brands, and Bliss just happened to be a candidate who wrestled on SmackDown Live last night.

When it comes to the Triple Threat match itself, we know that Charlotte Flair has had too many opportunities already, and without even taking that into account, it seems that The Queen has some unfinished business with Lacey Evans and Becky Lynch over at Monday Night RAW.

Carmella was a prime candidate to be pinned in last night's Triple Threat match, and to a certain extent, a Carmella/Bayley feud is not an ideal programme to hook the viewers in.

That leaves us with Alexa Bliss, who has already established herself on the roster numerous times before, and now it seems that The Goddess will face Bayley for the SmackDown Live Women's Title.

Even though this feud breaks some ground-rules when it comes the brand split, it is quite apparent that a career resurgence for Alexa Bliss could also bring some edge to Bayley's run as the current SmackDown Live Women's Champion.

#1: The Undertaker/Goldberg face-off was necessary to hook viewers in for WWE Super Show Down

Who will stand victorious in this epic encounter this Friday?

The Undertaker vs. Goldberg is an exhibition match by all means.

There has been no concrete buildup to establish this matchup as a legitimate feud, even though we had two segments about it this week.

It is also important to keep in mind that people are still going to watch this match nevertheless. After all, Undertaker vs. Goldberg is a match that all old-school wrestling fans have been waiting for decades.

It probably won't be the most athletic bout of the night, and to some extent, we have to accept this contest for what it is. A lot of relatively new wrestling fans probably won't understand the magnitude behind this epic showdown, but that's fine.

WWE events in Saudi Arabia have received harsh criticism from fans so far. Even though money is a huge factor behind why we are getting such monumental matches in recent times, it is important to view them as added bonuses to truly enjoy it.

An epic standoff between these two legends was necessary to reel and garner fans to watch WWE Super Show Down, and I personally can't wait to watch these two legends collide against each other this Friday.

Who do you think will emerge victorious from this bout: Goldberg or The Undertaker?
