3 Interesting observations from WWE Super ShowDown 2019 - Lesnar fails to cash-in, Undertaker defeats Goldberg

This year's WWE Super ShowDown pay-per-view just concluded, with fans finally having witnessed a much-awaited wrestling bout between Goldberg and The Undertaker.

I would personally say that WWE Super ShowDown 2019 was a stronger show than Crown Jewel as a whole, but it goes without saying that gigantic shows like these tend to garner underwhelming critical reception, mainly because of fan service moments and a glorified house show tone in general.

So even though Super ShowDown 2019 was slightly more watchable than Crown Jewel, it does not mean that WWE finally struck on a formula to make these shows work in terms of quality.

Here are a few interesting observations from WWE Super ShowDown 2019

#3 Why it made sense for Randy Orton to defeat Triple H all along

Randy Orton and Triple H renewed their rivalry at WWE Super ShowDown 2019

Former Evolution members and few of the most well-known superstars in WWE history, Triple H and Randy Orton faced each other in the ring at WWE Super ShowDown 2019.

Regardless of what you thought about the match itself, Randy Orton winning the bout at this particular stage in both of their careers made sense right from the very beginning.

Let's face it: Randy Orton is younger than Triple H. The Viper has been constantly performing as part of the main roster in recent times, whereas Triple H is bound to wrestle on a part-time basis when you think about the multiple responsibilities he has to carry-out in WWE nowadays.

Moreover, a loss against Randy Orton at this stage in his career won't affect Triple H's legacy anyway. Whereas Randy Orton winning that match added a certain amount of legitimacy to his legacy as the 'Legend Killer'.

Orton is no spring chicken himself, but he is relatively young when compared to Triple H.

Out with the old, and in with the new (even if we have to rely on nostalgia every now and then): That is how it works in the WWE, and this is also why Randy Orton was bound to win his match against Triple H at WWE Super ShowDown 2019.

#2 Why Brock Lesnar failed to cash-in his MITB Contract against Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins outsmarted Brock Lesnar to prevent The Beast from cashing-in his MITB Contract

One of the most interesting aspects heading into this mega Pay-Per-View was that Brock Lesnar was supposed to cash in his Money in the Bank contract during the event itself. Rest assured, Lesnar failed to cash-in his contract against Seth Rollins.

Paul Heyman's stumbling botch into the ring was a creative ploy to blame for what happened between Rollins and Lesnar. Because of that botch, Lesnar's attention was diverted and thus, Rollins was able to take the lead from there onwards.

It is also important to keep in mind that WWE could not let Brock Lesnar's character come up with another excuse to not cash-in the Money in the Bank contract after what happened at this week's RAW (and the week before that).

Therefore, it was quite obvious that the most suitable creative decision was for Seth Rollins to overcome the Beast, with Paul Heyman's little stumble being a factor that initiated this whole scenario in the first place.

When and where do you think Brock Lesnar will finally cash-in his Money in the Bank contract?

#1 Goldberg vs. The Undertaker left us with a bittersweet feeling in the end

What are your thoughts regarding Goldberg vs The Undertaker?

I won't deny it: The first half of Goldberg vs. The Undertaker was pretty entertaining.

This goes with saying that both men are well past their prime, which was a primary concern for fans when this match was first announced. The anticipation and excitement in that arena during this battle was amazing to witness as well.

But then again, the expression on Undertaker's face after the bout was over said it all: The match didn't go the way he had anticipated. Even if both of these men were off to a strong start, the fatigue began to set in towards the end of their match.

This led to a couple of botches and a finish that most certainly looked better on paper than it did in actual execution during live television.

This left fans with a bittersweet feeling after it was all over. Moreover, this could have been Goldberg's farewell match at the same time. Perhaps this first-time bout could have also been the last time bout, at least for Goldberg, that is.

Nevertheless, there were some good moments during the main event of WWE Super ShowDown 2019, but it all boils down to whether people want to focus on the good or bad aspects of this particular Pay-Per-View.
