WWE Super Showdown
 

A little early. Should be a great show. Discuss.

No thank you

More than 2 hours before start time. Not official.

Good Night Lock Jaw Nation

WWE should have followed Becky's advice and junked the boring official poster for the Stone Cold Becky approved one instead.

I'll watch the start live since I'm still awake

Looking at pics on Twitter, set seems 'small' for a big show and the floor seats appear to be plastic lawn chairs

Lots of blank space on the floor....I'm guessing it will look 'fantastic' on tv though

Floor is practically empty it seems...what a bizarre set-up

Six beers down and I all set for Soooooooooooooooooooooper Showdown.

This half empty bottle of JD isn't going to finish itself. Have never associated the MCG with anything but cricket. This is going to be fun.

Here we go

So none of the RAW titles are on the line with the exception of the Cruiserweight Championship.

PYRO!!!

pyro

Wow! Look at the turn out. This is mental.

The Bar vs New Day opening the show

I love the minimalistic set :heart: Glad to see The Bar in the limelight again.

I'm not a fan of the set so far

Looks like the RAW commentary team is calling the show.

Lazy stereotypes at the ready Michael Cole

Vegemite and Pancakes? Come on, Renee :lol:

Considering that it's a cricket stadium, I am throughly surprised with the seating arrangement and lighting scheme.

Cricket officials are anal about the wicket.

crowd is 30x more lively than Saudi Arabia crowd was

I guess it is safe to assume that the Aussie crowd is a bit of a "smart crowd" as compared to the Saudis.

Fun fact: Bret Hart approves of Cesaro's version of the Sharpshooter.

New Day wins clean in a decent opener

Hope the fans can keep up this level of enthusiasm for the entire night

Smackdown tag title match was good.

Smackdown's premier championship program is second to the opener. Come on!

Let's go Becky!

Becky Balboa Baby! :love:

Still acclimating to Charlotte's surgery work.

I'd assume its because WWE originally wanted a 100k crowd for this event and since they had to reconfigure for 50k-60k, they went with more of a Saudi design for the floor.

You don't want to ruin the field.

"Let's go Becky" chant

Ouch at Charlotte landing on her head on the floor.

Wish Becky updated her wardrobe with respect to her persona change.

Shades of the Canadian Crippler.

Commentators trying real hard to heel Becky up...

This isn't the first time Charlotte has used the Boston Crab.

Charlotte's accuracy with the moonsault is probably the same as Ric Flair's success rate with a top rope move.

Becky vs Charlotte pretty good so far

Becky retains :love:

Is Charlotte gonna cry?

LAME

Becky loses via DQ after hitting Charlotte's leg with the women's title

Michael Cole "Becky was desperate, she knew she couldn't beat Charlotte"

That didn't go as planned Ashley

:lol: at the crowd clapping for Becky using the belt since it meant she keeps it.

WWE still has no clue why their plans for Becky heel turn is not working.

The amount of alcohol in my system is allowing me to ignore Cole and just enjoy the theatrics.

Smelly, Vince is thoroughly impressed with Becky's transformation. It's only a matter of time.

lol Elias attempting to play AC/DC

Elias incredible on guitar r/n

Kinda excited for Cena's return.

No Lio Rush w/ Boring Bobby

No Lio Rush. Excited for Cena :yes:

CENAAAAAAAAAA!

Love me some Cena :heart:

:lol: at Cena's theme being out of sync for a bit.

I don't care about his bald spot, Slik.

Brown haired Cena

Cena sort of looks like JBL with the way his hair grew out.

Cena looks handsome. Nikki's loss :o

Cena more lean/less muscular

Cena's hair sort of looks like JBLs

Slik, Cena's the salt of the earth. You better stop girl.

Elias reminds me of Sandow.

CENAAAAAAAAAAA!

Lightning Fist :lol:

Cena wins w/ "The 6th move of Doom"

which is a punch

Raw's all about fisting.

Stop booing you stupid marks.

That might have been one of the easiest paychecks ever for Cena. Did practically noting besides his <s>5</s>6 Moves of Doom and a pin.

Forgot it was on at 10am here. Just tuning in.

CENAAAAAAAAAAA :love:

IIconics are in the house, baby :lol:

What's the consensus on Naomi and Asuka as a tag team combination?

Not a good sign for the IIconics that they barely got any crowds reactions for their entrance and mic routine.

Placement of the match has nothing to do with it, Smelly.

I am in love with Peyton Royce. I don't care who knows it.

Asuka and Naomi more over in Australia than The IIconics

Renee Young's speech impediment is more prominent via headphones.

The lack of reactions as the hometown stars is a bit concerning though.

As an Australian, I far prefer American athletes.

It is. Can't defend that.

This ppv feels pointless so far tbh

Concerned about how Murphy will be received by this crowd. Cedric hasn't lost a match in over a year.

Booking of this match is a bit weird so far. Should really be the other way around with Naomi being the face in peril and Asuka getting the hot tag and dominance.

And just like that, IIconics win.

IIconics w/ clean win over Asuka/Naomi

That was a pretty meh match overall.

Not expecting a title change. A bit disheartened by the placement of the WWE Championship on the card.

1 Smackdown and 4 RAW matches remain.

Great reaction for Joe's entrance

This single hype video for Joe has made him look more legit as an evil guy than Bray Wyatt and Wyatt Family ever were.
