Not a fan of what just happened. I appreciate Goldberg popping in every now and then but Jesus Christ...champion again? That's a no. Big no. Don't like it. ======================================================== //->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE Web version at SUPER SHOWDOWN 2020 RESULTS- Here are the results from Super ShowDown which took place from the Mohammed Abdu Arena earlier today in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson defeated The Viking Raiders in the Kickoff match; The Undertaker defeated AJ Styles, R-Truth, Andrade, Erick Rowan, and Bobby Lashley in a gauntlet match to win the Tuwaiq Trophy; John Morrison and The Miz defeated The New Day to become the new Smackdown Tag Team champions; Angel Garza defeated Humberto Carrillo; Seth Rollins and Murphy defeated The Street Profits to retain the Raw Tag Team titles; Mansoor defeated Dolph Ziggler; Brock Lesnar defeated Ricochet to retain the WWE title; Roman Reigns defeated Baron Corbin in a steel cage match; Bayley defeated Naomi to retain the Smackdown Women's title; Goldberg defeated The Fiend Bray Wyatt to become the new Universal champion. GOLDBERG WINS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE- WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg is walking out of Saudi Arabia with some extra luggage in the form of the WWE Universal title. The 53-year-old defeated The Fiend Bray Wyatt after four spears and a jackhammer in a fairly short match where he also survived the mandible claw twice. For the second time in his career, he will now walk into WrestleMania as the Universal champion. Goldberg won the title for the first time at Fastlane in 2017, defeating Kevin Owens in 22 seconds. He then lost it clean to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33 a month later. According to reports, Goldberg was not originally scheduled to be at WrestleMania but the card has received a major overhaul, especially on the Smackdown side. Goldberg's win brings Bray Wyatt's title reign to an end after 119 days. He won the title on October 31 last year at Crown Jewel also in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. THE UNDERTAKER SHOWS UP AT SUPER SHOWDOWN- The Undertaker showed up at Super ShowDown in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and inserted himself in the Tuwaiq Trophy gauntlet match. It was AJ Styles who was about to be declared the winner after Rey Mysterio was attacked backstage by Gallows and Anderson. The ring announcer said that if no one came out by the count of ten, Styles would be declared the winner. But half-way through the count, the cameras went backstage again as Gallows and Anderson got some of their own medicine. Then, the camera while it was still on the floor showing both of them in agony, catches the boots of The Undertaker as the crowd popped big. Taker's theme song started and out came the Dead Man with a WrestleMania-style entrance filled with fire and lasers. He stepped in the ring, chokeslammed AJ Styles and covered him for the pinfall...while still wearing his trench coat and hat! This was the setup for their WrestleMania match as The Undertaker gets back on the Mania card after a one-year absence. WWE PERFORMANCE CENTER TO HOST MARCH 11 EPISODE OF NXT ON USA- The March 11 episode of NXT on USA Network will be filmed from inside the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. There were rumors that the show might take place from Universal Studios but it looks like WWE is keeping things in-house for this one. WWE had to make way for another event at Full Sail University and the change of venue has been known to them for quite a while. Tickets for the show were made available for free yesterday after NXT went off the air. Needless to say, it's all sold out. This will be the second event taped from the Performance Center as WWE held Halftime Heat last year with PC trainees, family and friends in attendance. WWE is marketing this as NXT Fan Appreciation Night. TWO STEEL CAGE MATCHES SET FOR NEXT WEEK'S NXT- Two steel cage matches will be taking place next week on USA Network to counteract the post-Revolution Dynamite over at TNT. The first match, which was already announced, is Tegan Nox taking on her former friend Dakota Kai. This match follows the no holds barred match the two had at Takeover which ended with Raquel Gonzales interfering and helping Kai securing the victory. The second steel cage match was revealed yesterday with Velveteen Dream taking on Roderick Strong. Dream issued the challenge and Strong accepted on last night's NXT. WRESTLEMANIA 5K FUN RUN IN TAMPA BAY- WWE today announced the WrestleMania 5K Fun Run to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of America which will take place on Saturday April 4, 2020 as part of WrestleMania Week in Tampa Bay. The WrestleMania 5K Fun Run will begin at 7:30AM on Channelside Drive in the heart of Downtown Tampa Bay with special appearances by WWE Superstars. The 5K Fun Run will be open to both competitive and casual runners. Runners can register by visiting www.wrestlemaniatampabay5k.com. Participants are encouraged to dress like their favorite WWE Superstars for a chance to win prizes, with the top three best dressed participants receiving WWE Championship titles replicas, and finisher medals will be awarded in a post-race ceremony hosted by WWE Superstars. Registration Packets and “How to Dress Like a WWE Superstar” style guides will be available for pick up at The Tampa Convention Center on Thursday, April 2 between 3PM and 7PM, and Friday, April 3 between 1PM and 7PM and at Amalie Arena ticket office on Saturday, April 4 at 6AM. JERICHO GETS SEVEN STAPLES ON HIS FACE- Chris Jericho ended the night in Kansas City yesterday with a new souvenir: a scar on his face. During the main event segment which featured the weigh-in between Jericho and Moxley, Moxley headbutted Le Champion so hard that he cut him right between the eyes. Jericho needed seven stitches to close the wound which sits between his left eye and the bridge of his nose. Jericho was stitched up backstage after the show. "My bad #Mox...I let my guard down. Not gonna make the same mistake twice on Saturday at #AEWRevolution...your day of reckoning is coming at the hands of #LeChampion," Jericho wrote in a post on Instagram. Jericho and Moxley will wrestle for the AEW World title this Saturday in the main event of Revolution. ======================================================== ADVERTISING: (C) Copyright 1996-2020 Wrestling-Online.com ======================================================== |
