WWE SUPER SHOW-DOWN LIVE BLOG & MATCH COVERAGE
I was caught in the middle of a railroad track. I looked round and I knew there was no turning back. My mind raced and I thought what could I do? And I knew there was no help, no help from you. Sound of the drums, beating in my heart, the thunder of guns tore me apart. You’ve clicked on the liveblog for this here pro wrestling show, folks.

Another front kick from Becky, Flair on the apron and Lynch yanks her arm-first through the ropes and to the floor!
Throwing the challenger into the post to follow it up, back inside for a cover, only a nearfall and she puts boots to Charlotte in the corner.

LA MISTICA!
Working the hand over, wrenching the fingers, but Flair manages to post to her feet and escape with a side slam before following it up with a back suplex.

A hype reel for the WWE Network follows.
Elias is in the ring to sing us a song, with Kevin Owens at his side. Elias plays a bit of Thunderstruck (hey, great minds, eh?) before launching into his usual blues jam and his usual intro. He puts KO over and Kev says usually nothing cheers him up like his music, but here they are, two great guys sitting together in a cesspool of a city, and he complains that he told them Super Show-Down should have been in Canada.
The Drifter talks about how he talked to someone who assured him that Cena and Lashley are going to choke, like [local sports reference], but before he can continue he gets cut off by our babyface entrances, sans Lio Rush unfortunately.
Bobby Lashley & John Cena vs. Elias & Kevin Owens
Lashley and Owens to start, Elias tags right in, circling, arm wringer from Bob, wrenching away, spinning arm lock into a seated senton to the arm, off the ropes with a shoulder block.

Elias into the corner, KO tags in and hammers on Bob, side headlock, shot off, shoulder block but Lashley is unmoved!

To the corner for mounted punches, sidestep the charge, the Drifter comes in but Lashley stands firm and hits the reverse STO on Owens.
Elias clears the apron, double team takes Bob down, Kev stomping away, front chancery into a tag and the Drifter puts boots to the big man. Putting his face into the turnbuckle, scoop and a slam into the elbow drop... only two! Front chancery into a tag again, Owens with repeated shoulder thrusts, taking him close to Cena to mock him, kick to the neck, jawing at the Ace of WWE and he grabs a reverse chinlock on Bob.
Throwing him into the corner, tag to Elias, he hits a backbreaker for two but Lashley starts fighing back with right hands! Looking to suplex the Drifter inside, KO with the save but Bob is still throwing hands, charging... ELIAS LOW-BRIDGES HIM TO THE FLOOR!

Cena gets on the mic and says he honestly didn’t know what to expect coming back here tonight. Even still, he wanted to thank us, because WWE has and will always be his home. He knows his life is changing, but he never, ever forgets where he came from. He wanted to take a second to tell us he has no idea wha the future holds, so he’s focused on the now, and right now he’s standing in front of 70,000 people making some noise.
After a bit of riling them up to make some more noise, he thanks Australia for letting him come and perform for them tonight and takes his leave.
We get a video package where Naomi thinks Jimmy Uso has prepared a romantic evening for her but it turns out he’s just taking a bubble bath (complete with rubber ducky) and eating a meat pie for a local advertisement.

Peyton puts her hard into the corner, tag made, double-team kicks, Kay draws her up, catches a kick and sets Naomi in the splits but that’s no problem! Catch the boot in return, but Billie is, uh, not as good at the splits. Ow.
Asuka tags in, off the ropes, leg trip, sliding elbow, whip reversed, up and over in the corner, Asuka taunts her and catches her arm but the tag gets made and all four women stand off in the ring.

He sets the chair up and has a seat before resuming the assault with a kick.
Charging in, stepping up on the chair... ROCK BOTTOM INTO THE CHAIR GETS JOE A NEARFALL! Samoa heads under the ring for plunder, comes up with a table and slides it in the ring. He disposes of the chair by waffling AJ over the back, leading to more dry heaves and blood trickling from the WWE Champion’s mouth. Setting the table up, Joe brings Styles into the corner, AJ slips under him, electric chair... ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP THROUGH THE TABLE!

HBK gets in the ring but gets dropped by a punch to the face!
Hunter has just enough time to recover and hit the spinning spinebuster, leaving both men down and out! Triple with a kick to the midsection, the Pedigree, referee Rod Zapata is here to count... NOT ENOUGH! Now it’s the Game’s turn to tease crippling the Deadman with a chair wrapped around his neck, Triple climbs to the second... DIVING STOMP TO THE CHAIR BUT KANE YANKS ZAPATA OUT OF THE RING BEFORE THE THREE!
Triple doesn’t know what to do, but HBK does... HE’S GOT THE SLEDGEHAMMER! KANE GIVES TAKER A CHAIR! SLEDGEHAMMER WINS BUT THERE’S NO REF TO COUNT THE PIN AND THE UNDERTAKER LOCKS HELL’S GATE ON! HHH USES THE HAMMER TO CHOKE THE DEADMAN OUT AND BREAK THE HOLD! Both men spent, running on fumes, crawling for the ropes and trying to compose themselves when HBK comes in and picks the hammer up!
Kane counters him but Michaels take shim out with a low blow! Taker recovers and puts Shawn through to the floor, gasping for air before retrieving the sledgehammer. H gets the kick to the gut and knocks the hammer away but the Pedigree is countered by the back body drop... CHOKESLAM! Up for the Tombstone... SWEET CHIN MUSIC STAGGERS THE UNDERTAKER! HE BLOCKS A SECOND AND GOES TO TOMBSTONE MICHAELS BUT HUNTER SAVES HIS PAL WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER SHOT TO THE HEAD!
SWEET CHIN MUSIC AGAIN! PEDIGREE! CHIODA’S AWAKE TO COUNT! IT’S OVER!
Triple H wins by pinfall with the Pedigree.
D-Generation X hug in the middle of the ring to celebrate as Undertaker crawls to the ropes. Taker manages to get seated, sledgehammer in hand, and he passes it to HHH to acknowledge his victory. Hunter extends a hand; the Deadman is slow to accept but does in the end and H helps him to his feet and they hug.
Kane joins in on the sportsmanship, passing out what are presumably the devil’s favorite handshakes before all four men stand tall together, arms raised as pyro goes off...
BUT THE BROTHERS OF DESTRUCTION TURN ON THEM! KANE KNOCKS HBK OUT WITH A RIGHT AND THE UNDERTAKER TOMBSTONES HHH! SHAWN FIGHTS BACK AND GETS THROWN TO THE FLOOR! THE BROTHERS FIGHT OUT AFTER HIM AND RETURN TO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! THE DEADMAN CHOKESLAMS HIM THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!
The Brothers of Destruction make their way back up the entryway as D-Generation X lie unconscious in the ring and the wreckage of the announce table respectively.
That’s the show, folks.
