Today we present you with 4 HUGE Botches from WWE Super Showdown 2019
4. Paul Heyman’s botch
The first huge botch came very quickly into WWE Super Showdown,
which probably should have been an omen for the rest of the card.
After retaining the Universal title against Baron Corbin, Seth Rollins was attacked
by the former RAW General Manager, leaving the Champ easy prey for
Mr Money in the Bank Brock Lesnar, who had refused to cash-in as promised during Monday Night RAW.
With his advocate Paul Heyman by his side, and referee in tow, it seemed guaranteed
that the Beast was set to win his third Universal title.
Instead, a hilarious planned Botch by Paul Heyman, who tripped as he got in the ring,
dropping the briefcase, was all that the Architect needed to strike.
Downing the leader of the Brock Party with a low-blow, Rollins would punish Lesnar
with a series of chair shots, before ending the Beast’s night early with a curb-stomp onto the briefcase.
A shocking way to avoid Lesnar’s cash-in, the botch was at least intentional,
unlike so many other matches of the night.
The 50-man Battle Royal also had it’s fair share of botches, though fewer than last year’s
Greatest Royal Rumble, a good sign for the company’s future in Saudi Arabia.
3. Kofi Kingston & His Finish
If you look at his amazing performances in Royal Rumble matches, or his epic title win at
WrestleMania, you’d be excused for thinking Kofi Kingston is a botch-free Superstar.
Unfortunately, that isn’t the case, as though he was able to retain the WWE Championship
against Dolph Ziggler at Super Showdown, it didn’t come easy.
As the ShowOff took the action to the outside, Kingston momentarily distracted the referee in the ring,
allowing Xavier Woods to blindside Ziggler with a kick that sent Dolph into a Trouble in Paradise by the champion.
A unique finish that naturally sets up their steel-cage sequel at Stomping Ground,
the ending could have been perfect if the players were in the right spot.
The problem with the match, was that Kofi didn’t actually hit Trouble in Paradise on Ziggler
as the Showoff was seen falling before the move even hit him, with the kick several inches from his face.
A poor ending to what was a great match, hopefully the pair will be able to avoid a similar end
when they meet at Stomping Grounds inside a 15-foot Steel Cage.
2. Andrade’s Moonsault
Despite being a former NXT Champion and prominently featured since his call-up,
Andrade is yet to hold a title on the main roster, and hoped that would change at Super Showdown.
Clearly a threat to Finn Balor’s Intercontinental Title reign, the Irishman was forced to channel the
Demon, which clearly paid off as the Demon Balor was able to retain the prestigious gold.
A fantastic match delivered by two of WWE’s best stars today, the match was practically perfect,
but Andrade made one vital mistake when he went for his patented moonsault.
As he climbed the turnbuckle, it became obvious that Balor wasn’t set to take the move with his arms crossed over his body.
Instead, Andrade landed on his feet after the moonsault, and delivered a standing variant of the move, which barely connected with the
Champion. Slinking away to the corner after the move, it seemed Andrade did some damage to his arm, but was able to fight through the pain.
Nearly crashing his face into Balor’s knees, Andrade was lucky to avoid an injury,
though the two professionals quickly recovered to carry on their entertaining bout.
Sure, it wasn’t the biggest botch of the night, and both men recovered well, but in a hotly-anticipated
contest that many would consider the Match of the night, this botch really stood out.
1.Goldberg Vs The Undertaker
It was a match that WWE built up for weeks as a dream-match, as for the first time ever,
two icons of the Attitude Era would collide in Jeddah.
In one corner, Goldberg: The biggest star made by WCW who dominated the promotion in the late-90s.
In the other corner, The Undertaker: the Phenom of the WWE who had been claiming souls
for nearly 30 years and hoped to add goldbergs name to the list
Unsurprisingly, both men got long entrances, which did give the match a big fight feel in it’s rightful main event spot.
After the smoke, fire and Undertaker’s druids cleared though, things turned ugly.
As we all know that Goldberg would often be escorted to the ring by a squad of police officers,
only after he headbutted his dressing room door and nearly ripped it off the hinges.
Well, it goes without saying that Goldberg gashed his head when he headbutted the door,
and blood almost started streaming down his face as he made his entrance
Mocking the Deadman’s cut-throat taunt, the former WCW Champion levelled Undertaker
with two spear, though the Phenom instantly sat up.
When the Undertaker attempted a chokeslam, Goldberg countered into a kneebar,
and it seemed both men were playing to their strengths,
and not letting the limitations of their combined 106 years of age bring the excitement down.
Unfortunately, when Goldberg attempted his third spear, this all changed.
The wily Deadman dodged the move, leading to Goldberg to crash into the ring-post hard,
and was busted open as a result.
Bleeding heavily, the Hall of Famer refused to quit, lifting The Undertaker for a jackhammer,
but failing to execute the move, clearly a sign that things had changed.
As Goldberg’s blood stained the canvas, the Phenom hit his patented Tombstone Piledriver,
a classic manoeuvre in his repertoire, but one that could have caused serious neck injury to his opponent,
as the top of former Universal Champion’s head crashed into the mat.
The worse was yet to come, as Goldberg attempted a Tombstone of his own, but it was clear
the 52-year-old wasn’t doing well, as he couldn’t keep the Undertaker’s weight on his shoulders
and both men slumped to the mat.
Though the Deadman hit his own tombstone, the legendary Superstar BARELY hit the move,
and after the three count, was clearly frustrated and disgusted by the quality of the bout.
News is out that Goldberg suffered a concussion and Vince was quite unhappy with the Deadman for not carry Goldberg
A let-down for what could and should have been an awesome encounter,
WWE knows never to put these guys back in the ring together, as the former WCW star tweeted
he knocked himself out at one point saying:
"Knocked myself out and thought I could finish. love my fans..but let u down. Everyone else that found 'pleasure' ..... hope ur happy"
Speaking of Twitter, NXT’s Matt Riddle, a known critic of Goldberg was quick to chime in, tweeting
“Goldberg, you lived up to the hype yet again. You’re absolutely the worst wrestler in the business, bro.
That’s not an opinion, that’s a fact”
Though Riddle’s tweet has since been deleted, his words must still sting for Goldberg,
who after reportedly getting into an altercation backstage with Undertaker,
clearly isn’t happy about the match either.
Though for many fans it was great to see Goldberg in the ring one last time,
it’s clear that his 2 years away from the mat has taken it’s toll, as the majority of fans seem
fine if Goldberg, or The Undertaker for that matter, never wrestle again.
