The stakes were high for the first Saudi Arabia show of the year, Super ShowDown. With a total of five title matches, WWE delivered a decent show. However, the outcome of the main event certainly disappointed a large section of the WWE Universe. Besides two major title changes, Super ShowDown also had a shocking appearance.
While it looked like AJ Styles was going to win the Gauntlet match, The Undertaker appeared out of nowhere and pinned Styles to win the Tuwaiq trophy. Buddy Murphy and Seth Rollins defended the RAW Tag Team Titles successfully, but the SmackDown Tag Team Titles changed hands.
Elsewhere on the show, Roman Reigns prevailed against Baron Corbin, and Brock Lesnar didn't take long to beat Ricochet. Participating in the only women's match of the night, Bayley beat Naomi to retain the SmackDown Women's Championship. Goldberg won the Universal Championship for the second time in his career, beating The Fiend in the main event of the night.
Let's take a look at five possible hints WWE may have dropped at Super ShowDown.
#5 Bayley will get a new opponent
The solo women's match took place between Bayley and Naomi at Super ShowDown. Defending the SmackDown Women's Championship against Naomi, Bayley showed her grit once again, earning a comprehensive victory.
After securing the victory in Saudi Arabia, it is ambiguous if the SmackDown Women's Title will be defended at the Elimination Chamber, the final pay-per-view before heading to WrestleMania 36. First, Bayley put the title on the line against Carmella and subsequently, she defended it successfully against Naomi.
Having beaten Naomi fair and square, it should be the end of this feud, and Bayley might find out next opponent, who could be her challenger at the Grandest Stage of Them All. It remains to be seen whether Bayley's next opponent turns out to be Lacey Evans or her best friend Sasha Banks.
#4 WWE Championship will not be on the line at Elimination Chamber
The WWE Championship match was one of the most anticipated matches of Super ShowDown. Earning his first title shot for the most coveted prize of the red brand, Ricochet was expected to do well, as he had a great momentum before heading to Super ShowDown. Nevertheless, Ricochet's first WWE Championship match didn't go the way he had expected.
While Ricochet wasn't predicted to beat Brock Lesnar, he was certainly anticipated to put up a good fight, proving his worth as one of the breakout stars of the last year. However, the match lasted less than two minutes, and Lesnar squashed Ricochet to retain the WWE Championship.
Since Drew McIntyre is next in the line to take on Brock Lesnar, the latter shouldn't have any other opponent before heading to WrestleMania 36. Hence, the WWE Championship is unlikely to be defended at Elimination Chamber. With that in mind, the build-up for the WWE Championship match between Drew McIntyre and Brock Lesnar should officially commence on the next episode of RAW.
#3 Roman Reigns will get a push to the main event scene after Super ShowDown
Roman Reigns and Baron Corbin locked horns inside a steel cage, possibly for the final time in this feud. As it was a steel cage match, the expectations were sky-high from the bout, yet it failed to live up to the hype. It was an average match, and Reigns picked up the win to even the score against King Corbin.
On the road to WrestleMania, this victory should be a huge confidence booster for Roman Reigns, who might get the opportunity to face a bigger opponent after concluding the rivalry with Corbin. Ever since his return to the company after recovering from the illness last year, Reigns has been stuck in the mid-card. Given that Reigns is one of the biggest names of the current roster, he is likely to get a push to the main event scene again, especially after the empathetic victory over Corbin at Super ShowDown.
The outcome of the Universal Championship match has certainly increased Roman Reigns' chance of moving to the main event scene once again. The Big Dog seems like the only feasible option to dethrone the new Universal Champion, Goldberg, who surprised everyone by dismantling The Fiend.
#2 It's not the end for The Fiend
A myriad of fans was heartbroken after witnessing the main event of Super ShowDown. The Fiend and Goldberg, two unstoppable forces of two different eras, collided for the Universal Championship.
Startling every spectator, Goldberg proved that he is still the impregnable man and took just a couple of minutes to defeat The Fiend.
It was a conventional match of the WCW legend, as it lasted less than five minutes. Goldberg delivered four Spears and a Jackhammer to seal the victory. However, The Fiend also tried taking down Goldberg with two Mandible Claws but the latter recovered. Even after losing the match, The Fiend was standing behind Goldberg, and it seemed like he was not affected by the defeat.
The Fiend looked strong even after a loss and hence, it should not be the end of his meteoric rise to the top. A dark character like The Fiend doesn't need a title to get over, similar to Kane and The Undertaker. The two brothers didn't need titles to become crowd pullers.
#1 The Undertaker will take on AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36
A total of six men were part of the Gauntlet match, including AJ Styles. The Phenomenal One entered the match from the second last position, and he didn't toil hard to eliminate R-Truth. Rey Mysterio was supposed to be the final competitor of the match, but he was assaulted by The OC in the backstage area, raising the possibility of Styles' victory. However, we saw a major twist when The OC members assaulted by none other than The Undertaker in the backstage area.
The Undertaker wasn't scheduled to be part of Super ShowDown, but he abruptly showed up. Replacing Rey Mysterio as the last participant of the match, The Phenom entered the ring and delivered a Chokeslam to pin Styles, hinting a possible match at WrestleMania 36.
The rumor of a match between The Undertaker and AJ Styles has been floating for a while, and it might become reality in Tampa Bay. If The Phenom and The Phenomenal One collide after a great build-up, it will be a dream match for the fans.
