Super Showdown 2019: 5 Interesting Observations 

#4 Finn Balor Only Puts On The Paint For Threats

The reason is quite interesting

This might be a small detail in the grander scheme of things, but at Super ShowDown, we learnt a very important thing about Finn Balor's character, as the commentary team might have relayed the most important piece of the puzzle fans were struggling to find all these years.

Why does Finn Balor transform himself when using his alter ego? In other words, why does this perfectly normal man paint his face and hiss at his opponents from time to time? The answer is simple: Balor only uses the paint when he feels his opponent is special enough to warrant it.

Andrade must be something special, as Balor felt he needed to be more aggressive, and the paint brings that out in him. This means that Balor chose to use this tactic against Baron Corbin in a meaningless squash match instead of a World Title match against Brock Lesnar. It would nice if WWE tried to keep this reasoning straight, but it sounds legit at this point.

#3 Baron Corbin Will Be Back For Rollins

The man that everyone hates to hate

The match that no one expected to kick off this event was a World Title match. But WWE once again chose the right option by getting the crowd amped up for the event by having Seth Rollins come out to the ring to defend his Universal Title against Baron Corbin.

Many doubted whether Rollins would be in this match, as Brock Lesnar beat Rollins so bad on Raw this week, many reported that WWE was trying to write him off the show. Except that did not happen, as the Universal Champion did his business in the ring against Corbin and came out victorious.

While Rollins got jumped by Corbin after the match, the champion showed his determination by avoiding a Money in the Bank cash in from a seething Lesnar. If this match told us anything it is that WWE is going to make Corbin the main heel on Raw for months to come. As the way he lost the match via a roll up, his post-match beatdown and the performance he gave throughout the bout, indicates that the company has faith in the big man.
