2/27/20
In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia was the next installment of WWE Super Showdown. After all the action, with new tag champs for both Raw and Smackdown, Fiend retaining, and the gauntlet for the first Tuwaiq trophy. It was time for the double main event of the night, or day if you're watching in the US.
Ding, ding, ding.
Mike: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the WWE championship!
(cue blaster sound effects)
One and... only
The song 'One and Only' by CFO$ played as the lights darkened with only a multicolored spotline in the center of the stage, where the challenger Ricochet came out to do his signature entrance.
He then made his way to the ring, his attire consisting of an outfit similar to his opponent's, down to the headband and short shorts.
Tom: Ricochet, looks to fulfill his dream her tonight as he vies for the WWE championship. This culminates all that he has worked for in his entire wrestling career.
Byron: But to do that he's gonna have to pull out all the stops against the champion KO, who right after this match will be defending the 24/7 title in a ladder match against three mystery opponents.
Jerry: Ricochet for sure has the advantage in every category, speed, strength, experience. KO will be lucky if he can walk out of this with both his titles intact.
As Ricochet entered the ring and removed the vest he wore for his entrance, we heard the extended version of the OK KO theme playing.
KO walked out on stage with only his WWE title, his 24/7 title already hanging above the ring for the match after this.
Byron: I wouldn't look past KO if I were you King, in the last month KO's been putting on many great matches and pulling off high profile victories on Raw, Smackdown, and NXT to retain both the WWE and 24/7 championship.
Tom: We also like to point out that KO has yet to lose a competitive match up for the 24/7 title, only losing it due to attacks from behind. One of them nearly put him out for good.
Jerry: I know that, but two matches back to back? That's asking a lot from a 6-11 year old kid.
Byron: KO's faced a lot of situations against multiple opponents and has always came out on top, don't take his small frame for granted.
After the entrances.
Mike: Introducing first, the challenger. From Paducah, Kentucky, weighing in at 188lbs... RIIIIIIIIIICOCHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! (Crowd pops)
Mike: Next, the champion... from the Neutral Zone... weighing in at 60lbs... he is the WWE 24/7 champion, and the current WWE Champion...… KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (crowd pops again).
Referee Charles Robinson held up the WWE title while the combatants were in opposing corners, then gave it to the ringside crew before calling for the bell.
Ding, ding, ding.
KO right out of the gates looks for a running dropkick, but Ricochet moves out of the way causing the 6-11 year old to crash in the corner. KO pulls himself up and got his with a running shoulder strike to his midsection, Ricochet then seamlessly moves through the ropes and onto the south apron, which he followed up with a high kick to KO's head which made him stumble away.
Ricochet then looked for a springboard clothesline, but KO counters with a turbo charged superman punch which knocks Ricochet out of the air. KO then followed up with a running swanton to Ricochet's chest before leaping onto the middle ropes and nailed a second rope Phoenix Splash.
KO hooks the leg, looking to end this quickly and preserve some energy.

Ricochet kicks out.
KO doesn't let go of the leg though, he then locks in an Ankle Lock around the ankle of Ricochet. Contorting the joint that connects the calf to the foot in a painful angle, but since Ricochet is a lot bigger he was able to kick KO off without suffering much damage. Ricochet then kipped up and kicked KO in the gut, he then lifted the champion up and nailed a vertical suplex before moving in for a cover.
1.
KO kicks out.
Ricochet didn't let up, he put a headlock on KO. The boy grunted but not giving up, he managed to get to his feet and punch his challenger in the gut repeatedly before shoving him off into the east ropes. However, he was brought down with a knee from Ricochet. Ricochet then rebounded off the north ropes, over a prone KO on his front, then rebounded off the south ropes and KO leapfrog'd over him. As Ricochet bounced off the ropes a third time, he was met with a dropkick right to the gut.
KO then delivered a running chop block to Ricochet's leg, sending the challenger down. He got up to a kneeling position before getting spiked by KO with a spike rana. KO followed this up with a running shooting star press to the back of the challenger, he then put Ricochet's left arm in a fujiwara armbar. Cranking up the pressure in the hold, wearing down the challenger while trying to preserve his own energy.
As Ricochet struggled in the hold, KO transitioned so that he had the hold with one hand while using the other to check his heart rate. Hmmm, stable. KO can't expend so much energy, he has a ladder match right after this and he doesn't know who he'll be facing. He's gonna have to play it smart, he put both his hands in the lock again but got rolled up by Ricochet.
1.
KO kicks out, thus breaking his armbar. They both got to their feet, but KO got caught with a dropkick flip form Ricochet. Which he followed up with an enzuguri, but KO rebounded with a superkick which turned his challenger around. KO then got up on Ricochet's shoulders and dropped him with a poison rana, but Ricochet rebounded with a German suplex that sent KO towards the northeast corner.
Ricochet looked for a running corner strike, but got caught with a superkick from KO. KO then pulled himself up to the tope rope and leaped off with a diving hurricanrana that draped Ricochet on the east ropes. KO then bounced off the west ropes and looked for a 619, but Ricochet ducked sending the boy over him.
Ricochet turned around and caught KO with the Recoil (Code Breaker variant), which sent KO into the ropes before Ricochet caught him with a second recoil before he lifted him up and drove him with a death valley driver.
Ricochet hooks the leg.

KO kicks out.
Ricochet grunted before pulling him near the northwest corner and started to climb to the tope rope, he then leaped off with a shooting star press that landed flush on KO. But Ricochet didn't go for the cover, he went back to the tope rope for the double tap. Ricochet then leaped off for a 630 splash, but KO rolled out of the way. Ricochet crashed onto the mat, no water in the pool. Ricochet was on his knees holding his back as he was hit with Natural Selection from KO, who followed this up with a curb stomp.
KO then ascended the southwest ropes, payed respect for the deceased Randy Savage before leaping off with the Turbo Elbow to the small of the back of Ricochet.
KO turns Ricochet over for the cover.

DING, DING, DING!
The crowd cheered for the performance, KO got off Ricochet and panted.
Mike: Here's your winner, and still the WWE champion... KO!
KO pulled himself up as he was handed the WWE championship, "That's one down..." he said to himself as backstage hands started to bring out ladders of various sizes and set them up around the ring, and on the ramp.
Mike: The following contest is a Fatal 4 Way ladder match, and is for the WWE 24/7 championship. Currently in the ring... he is the WWE champion... and the current WWE 24/7 champion... KOOOOOOO!
KO looked to the ramp, a little exhausted from the match he just had.
Tom: KO right off the heels of a fast paced defense against Ricochet, looks to retain his other championship title.
Jerry: I'm telling you he should just walk away, at least keep the WWE title.
Byron: That's not his style Jerry, KO will push through the pain and keep on fighting to keep both his titles.
KO went over to the southeast corner and handed his title back to the crew. He was about to find out who he'll be defending against. "...Three to go."
Tom: Who will challenge for the 24/7 title, in out main event ladder match?
.

…. Suddenly "You Can't see me" Played, and the loudest mix reaction from the crowd was heard as one of the top faces of WWE came out. In a neo green shirt, hat, jorts, and shoes.
Mike: And his opponents, first... from West Newbury, Massachusetts….. weighing in at 251 lbs...…. JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHN CEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Jerry: OH GOD!
Tom: He's back, the Face that Runs the Place, John Cena. He's here.
Byron: And he's vying for the 24/7 title.
John Cena then said to the camera, "Yep, I'm back! Thought you'd seen the last of me, eh?" Cena then made a jog to the ring, KO stood there in shock that on of his favorite wrestlers is looking to win his 24/7 title.
After John slid in the ring, some medieval music played out as a figure flew from the rafters. This figure looked like a young feminine looking man with long blue-silver hair, a long blue coat with a fuzzy collar, black pants and dark blue boots. He came out to a standing ovation as he waved to the crowd as he flew over the WWE universe of Saudi Arabia with blue dragon like wings.
Mike: Next, from Rimuru City, representing the Jura Tempest Federation... RIMURU TEMPEST!
Byron: We-he-ell, we have some more royalty in the house.
Tom: The leader of the Jura-Tempest Federation, the reincarnation Rimuru Tempest has come for gold.
Jerry: Who would have thought a simple slime could go on to create their own united nation?
Rimuru flew on down to the ring, "Well this will be a new challenge."
Just then, 'Judas' by Fozzy played as a pale looking teenager with crystal blue eyes and long blonde hair came out to a roaring crowd. She wore a Chris Jericho shirt, black tights, and wrestling boots.
Mike: And, from Toronto Ontario, Canada, DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN!
Jerry: Well I'll be damned.
Tom: Dawn, from the second generation of Total Drama, and the winner of Extreme Brony's first Fandom Royal Rumble, she looks to stake claim to the 24/7 title.
Byron: After a heartbreaking early exit from TD: Revenge of the Island, Dawn looks to move past that experience.
Dawn made her way to the ring, high fiving fans along the way. "You got this, Dawn!" is one of the things she's heard form the crowd.
Soon all four competitors were in the ring. The 24/7 championship hanging high above the ring.
Ding, ding, ding.
KO quickly went after Cena, who caught with an Attitude Adjustment. John then delivered one to an incoming Rimuru, before getting caught with a Codebreaker from Dawn. This stunned Cena as he staggered off the ropes, before he got hit with a Judas Effect from Dawn. The point of her elbow connected to the ear of Cena, knocking him down.
Dawn then slid out of the ring and picked up a ladder on the south side of the ring, she then put the ladder on the apron before getting it dropkicked into her face by Rimuru. The slime then slid out of the ring and grabbed her by the hair and slammed her head first into the southwest ring post.
Rimuru then picked up the ladder from before and slid it into the ring before following suit, he set it up and started to climb. But his leg was caught by KO, who pulled himself up as Rimuru tried to knock him off. But KO kept climbing over the king of the Jura-Tempest Federation till he hooked his legs around the slime's neck and gave him a Poison Rana from halfway up the ladder!
KO quickly pulled himself up as the impact sent Rimuru out of the ring, the champion then started to climb the ladder. But as he reached for the title, John came in and tipped the ladder over. KO miraculously landed on the north ropes before leaping off it and nailed John with a stunner, he then saw Dawn getting up on the apron and went for a superman punch. But Dawn dodged it and nailed a kick to the side of KO's head, she then nailed him with a springboard clothesline.
Dawn pushed the other contestants out of the ring before she started to climb the ladder, rung after rung she got closer to the championship. She reached the top and went to unhook the title, but then out of nowhere some teenaged red head came into the ring and pushed the ladder over and sent her crashing into the ropes. The crowd booed as the intruder was revealed to be Scott, the guy that framed Dawn for stealing the cast's belongings and eliminated a guy he took advantage of.
She staggered up to her feet and into an RKO from the vile farmboy.
Scott laughed at his work before setting the ladder up, the crowd hatefully booed as he started to climb. But then he got knocked off the ladder by a springboard dropkick from Rimuru, who pushed the ladder away before nailing Scott with a running corner dropkick. Rimuru then tossed Scott out of the corner and into a turbo charged Superman punch from KO, which stunned him before John Cena came in and nailed two shoulder blocks and a belly to back suplex.
John then raised his hand up, KO and Rimuru joining on this. They looked over to Dawn, who was getting up and saw this and smirked. She raised her hand up as well, the four the told the down Scott "You can't see me" in John Cena fashioned before they all rebounded off the ropes and performed simultaneous Five Knuckle Shuffle. Or as this will be called, a 20 Knuckle Shuffle.
Scott groaned after the move and staggered up, before seeing he was surrounded. He nervously chuckled before attempting to run, but he got caught by John and Rimuru who sent him into a Codebreaker from Dawn, which him stumble into a Claymore Kick from Rimuru that knocked him into a draping position on the south middle ropes. This was followed up by KO with a 619, which sent him into an Attitude Adjustment from John that launched him out of the ring.
After that 4 way beatdown was over, John was hit with a Claymore from Rimuru that knocked him out of the ring. As Rimuru was getting up he was nailed with a spike-rana from KO, who was then hit with a German suplex from Dawn. Dawn then picked up Rimuru and tossed him out of the ring, she then set the ladder up and started to climb it. As she was halfway through it, John came in and started to climb the other side of the ladder as well. The two met at the top and started to nail punches to each other.
As that went on, KO saw Rimuru getting up outside and nailed a suicide tornado DDT. KO panted as he got up and slowly slid into the ring.
Dawn and John meanwhile were still punching, before Dawn hit John with a headbutted that staggered John. She reached for the belt, but John recovered and grabbed the belt as well. The two were fighting over it, until it got unhooked and the two dropped it to the floor.
Right into KO's waiting arms.
DING, DING, DING!
Dawn and John looked in shock at what just happened.
Mike: Here's your winner, and still the WWE 24/7 champion... KO!
KO chuckled before rolling out of the ring, after two grueling matches he came out on top.
He went over to grab his other championship before leaving through the WWE universe, Dawn and John mega disappointed at the conclusion of the match.
Title changes: None.
Enjoy Super Showdown, tomorrow at 12PM EST.
