5 Shocking Mistakes the WWE made at Super Show-Down

WWE's Super Show-Down has finished and the WWE Universe is still coming to terms with the huge event that took place Down Under. Fans in Australia were treated to several title matches, huge bouts involving Ronda Rousey and John Cena and, of course, the massive main event between Triple H and Undertaker with Shawn Michaels and Kane present as well.

AJ Styles and the New Day retained their SmackDown Titles, Buddy Murphy became the first Australian to pick up a singles title, Daniel Bryan became the #1 contender for the WWE Title and Triple H finally defeated the Undertaker, albeit with the help of his DX partner Shawn Michaels.

Whilst the show was a pretty good one it wasn't without its dubious decisions from the WWE. We take a look at some of the results and choices that were made during the Super Show-Down show and explore why some of them were shocking mistakes that were made. We take a look at the top 5 shocking Super Show-Down mistakes.

#5 Daniel Bryan squashing The Miz

The finish to Daniel Bryan Vs. The Miz was bizarre!

This was a match that many people were looking forward to. It continues the feud between The Miz and Daniel Bryan but it presented the two men with some real stakes outside of the personal animosity between them, with a WWE Championship match on the line.

However, when the match went down at Super Show-Down it left many people disappointed with Daniel Bryan rolling up The Miz with a Small Package in what amounted to nothing more than a squash.

Admittedly this was a good way to protect the Miz and continue the feud whilst still getting to that AJ Style Vs Daniel Bryan match they clearly wanted for Crown Jewel it was a disappointment on the night and left the crowd deflated, having cheated them out of a possibly great match.

#4 Dean Ambrose not turning heel

The Heel Turn awaits

At Super Show-Down there was another huge Dean Ambrose heel turn tease after Roman Reigns had accidentally Super Man Punched the 'Lunatic Fringe' and then Seth Rollins and Reigns found themselves surrounded with Ambrose on the outside, with a few tense moments taking place whilst Ambrose decided if he wanted to help out or not.

Naturally, he didn't, instead reaffirming his partnership with his Shield brothers. However, this was a huge mistake because of the rule of diminishing returns. There's only so many times the WWE can get away with teasing a Dean Ambrose heel turn until people stop caring and it will no longer be a big deal.

#3 Not giving Samoa Joe his first title

Samoa Joe still chases his first main roster title

Samoa Joe has been on the main roster of the WWE for almost two years now and is yet to even get close to winning a title. Sure, he's been in a prolonged title feud with AJ Styles but as we saw at Super Show-Down he once again would fall short of claiming his first title.

The problem with this and the reason why it's such a mistake from the WWE is that Joe has been consistently excellent and many feel he has definitely earned himself the belt with his recent heel work, leading to many wondering what Joe has to do to become a champion in WWE.

#2 No United States Championship

Shinsuke Nakamura was nowhere to be seen

With the Universal and Intercontinental Titles tied up in the Shield Vs. Dogs of War match, only two male singles titles were defended, the WWE Title and the Cruiserweight Title. So why on earth was United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura not on the card?

There's really no excuse for the WWE to make someone a United States Champion and not feature them on big shows. Sure, he might not be doing much on SmackDown Live at the moment, but if the case is that they don't know what to do with Shinsuke Nakamura, don't make him a champion.

#1 Length of Triple H Vs. Undertaker Match

Super Show-Down's main event went on for far too long

The crowd for Super Show-Down were great throughout the main event keeping up the energy no matter what happened in the ring between the Undertaker and Triple H. This is admirable because at times the 49 and 53-year-old wrestling legends really looked like they were struggling.

This made the length of the match even more bizarre. Sure, the two guys were incredible at psychology and telling a story, but they simply couldn't keep up with the pace making the long match a bit of an ordeal at times. In particular, it really highlighted the Undertaker's inability to wrestle as he used to, making the whole thing really quite sad.
