The Shield vs. Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre - WWE Super Show-Down Results and Grades #SSD #WWE

The Shield came walked to the ring with their masks. I have to admit they look badass!

The Shield entered the match in old school Shield fashion by surrounding the ring. Before the match The Shield attempted a triple power bomb on Braun through the announce table but Ziggler and McIntyre stopped them and then the three of them attempted to pick The Shield apart.

The match started with Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler. McIntyre, Ziggler and Strowman already had the advantage from the events before the match started so the three of them worked Seth Rollins in the ring by keeping frequent tags. (Interesting note, The Shield are in the usual heel corner of the ring. Very weird ring dynamics).

It took a while for The Shield to gain any traction. Strowman, Ziggler and McIntyre slowly but surely tore The Shield apart. Strowman put Rollins through excruciating punishment in the ring. Strowman then climbed to the top rope and all I could think of was Psycho Sid breaking his leg. Thank God we did not have a repeat of that! Strowman missed by the way.

This slowed down the Dogs of War's traction and allowed Ambrose to tag in the ring and gain some traction for The Shield.

Roman Reigns accidentally Super Man Punched Dean Ambrose laying the seeds for dissension between The Shield members. Very near pinfalls from both teams came after this. Meanwhile, Ambrose still laid outside the ring from the punch from Reigns.

Strowman, Ziggler and McIntyre surround the ring and Ambrose is in the fourth corner. Strowman is trying to convince Ambrose to jump Reigns and Rollins with them. But Ambrose jumps in and drop kicks Strowman through the rope.

Braun then saved McIntyre from a Shield powerbomb. Strowman then threw Reigns and Rollins out of the ring and left Ambrose in the ring with Ziggler. Strowman ran through (literally) Rollins and Reigns. Ziggler then hit Ambrose with the Zig Zag, however, Ambrose kicked out.

Strowman attempted to run through Ambrose and Reigns tackled Strowman through the barricade to save Reigns. McIntyre and Ziggler attempted to double team Ambrose, but Rollin saved Ambrose.

Ambrose got the pinfall...The Shield gained the victory.

Grade: A

The Undertaker vs. Triple H - WWE Super Show-Down Results and Grades #SSD #WWE

HBK came down to the ring first. The fans clamored to get pictures of HBK...to be honest I would be too. Shawn is still in great shape, now he is the heartbreak grandpa. HHH came out next with a mask on but without the fanfare I expected. He came to the ring pretty fast and it was a pretty basic HHH entrance. He does have new ring gear which is nice. The Melbourne crowd loved HHH. Kane then came to the ring. I love how his name shows up when he walks to the ring it's pretty cool. The Undertaker's entrance of course was epic. All you saw were phones everywhere as fans attempted to snap pictures of the Deadman. The Undertaker looked great in his entrance and brought presence and prestige to the night. (Except for the gray on the sides...Undertaker I never want to see a another gray hair on your head). Fans complain about the older wrestlers taking the spotlight but the Undertaker's presence gives a PPV that extra push that makes it a classic. The match was no disq...

The New Day vs. The Bar - WWE Super Show-Down Results and Grades #SSD #WWE

The show opened up surprisingly with the SmackDown Tag Team Championship title match. This is the second time the SmackDown Tag Team Championship has been the show opener. They were on the pre-show last PPV which technically is a dark match but it was still the first match the fans saw of the night. I am not sure what this means, perhaps the WWE just wants the New Day opening up their PPV's from now on. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods as a pairing is just amazing. Their intro tag team sequence was absolutely lightening. Both of them are so coordinated and agile. Kofi shows why he is one of the best tag team champions of all time. Really great showing by these two. Sheamus and Cesaro are good but honestly not as good as Kingston and Woods. At least not as a tag team. However, they play to their strengths which is power, heel tactics and viciousness.  Of course, anyone that uses the Sharp Shooter is near and dear to my heart. I am sure that is homage to Cesaro's friend Tyson...

WWE Super Show-Down Predictions #WWE #SuperShowDown

WWE Super Show-Down will take place in Australia this weekend. While many say that it is a glorified house show, I do not think it is. I think the WWE will use this show to lay the groundwork for Evolution, Crown Jewel, and Survivor Series while simultaneously building bigger storylines. For instance, there are rumors of Kurt Angle's return and Asuka and Dean Ambrose's heel turn. Bobby Lashley and John Cena vs. Elias and Kevin Owens This is an easy match to predict. Cena and Lashley will get the win here. This will likely be the show opener so John Cena can give a big speech welcoming the crowd and exciting them for the night's matches. This will be clear-cut and simple. Delighting the Australian fans while also showing Cena's dominance in his return.  Cedric Alexander vs. Buddy Murphy  WWE Cruiserweight Championship  This match is the biggest toss up on the card. While many fans criticize WWE Super Show-Down as a glorified house show; the WWE ...
