#1 There's a reason why Super ShowDown is being promoted around these two 50-year olds

Despite both Superstars being way past their prime, there's a reason why WWE is hell-bent on promoting Super ShowDown around these two. When Goldberg was interrupted by The Undertaker's signature gong, and The Deadman actually appeared behind him, the arena went into a frenzy. The crowd was way into what was happening inside the squared circle.

A simple face-off between Goldberg and The Undertaker was garnering way more response than anyone from the current roster ever could, probably minus Brock Lesnar. This is a big reason why WWE is centering the show around this dream match, and not Kingston vs Ziggler, or Rollins vs Corbin.

These two legends are surely hogging the spotlight, and they will rightfully do so until WWE somehow manages to put over regular Superstars, to the extent that they would get the kind of cheers The Undertaker or Goldberg gets.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
