#5 Bray Wyatt beats Goldberg to retain the Universal Championship

There has been a lot of talk regarding The Fiend and Goldberg's title match tonight in the run-up to the show. Dave Meltzer reported that plans had changed and Goldberg could win the title in Saudi Arabia before going on to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.

However, a new report is suggesting that Bray Wyatt could also have a marquee match at WrestleMania against John Cena. If WWE decide to promote that match as Cena's hunt for his 17th world title, they could change plans again and have The Fiend retain the championship tonight at Super ShowDown.

This wouldn't hurt Goldberg's aura and would just give The Fiend a massive boost ahead of WrestleMania season. As for how to set up Reigns versus Goldberg for WrestleMania, it could start with something as small as Reigns saying he has the best Spear in the business during a promo.

WWE could choose to promote Reigns and Goldberg's clash at WrestleMania as Spear vs Spear.

#4 The Undertaker doesn't start his feud with AJ Styles

The Undertaker is in Saudi Arabia for WWE Super ShowDown. The news was first reported by Dave Meltzer and later confirmed in a video showing Undertaker at the airport in Riyadh.

The current plan for The Deadman at WrestleMania seems to be a marquee match against 'The Phenomenal One' AJ Styles. Styles will be in the Tuwaiq Trophy gauntlet match at Super ShowDown competing against Rowan, Rey Mysterio, R-Truth, Andrade and Bobby Lashley.

With The Deadman set to face AJ Styles at WrestleMania, and no match announced for The Undertaker tonight, there is a good chance that The Undertaker appears during Styles' match and takes him out. However, WWE could choose to start the feud on RAW instead which will have more viewership.

If that is the case, The Undertaker may not be involved with AJ Styles tonight. WWE could choose to book The Deadman in some other way, such as him coming and taking out a heel mid-promo.

#3 Otis costs Dolph Ziggler his match against Mansoor

Otis and Mandy Rose's storyline has probably been the best thing going on on WWE SmackDown in recent months. The Blue brand has had some lackluster episodes since the move to FOX but the Otis-Mandy romance has been one bright spot.

Otis and Mandy Rose's Valentine's Day date was ruined by Dolph Ziggler. Otis received a text from Mandy earlier that night saying she would be late, which allowed Ziggler to swoop in, although Rose later denied sending the text.

This was followed by Otis spotting Ziggler giving Rose a lift home while Rose was waiting for her Uber to arrive. Otis looked devastated when he saw this and things could come to a head tonight on Super ShowDown.

Dolph Ziggler will be in action against Saudi star Mansoor. The current plans seems to be Ziggler vs Otis at WrestleMania, so this could be the perfect chance for WWE to start this feud. Otis interfering in the match would not only continue the storyline but also protect Ziggler.

#2 Baron Corbin wins the cage match to continue his feud with Roman Reigns till Elimination Chamber

Baron Corbin and Roman Reigns' feud has been going on for what feels like ages. It just doesn't seem to end in the eyes of some fans, including me, who want both men to move on to other feuds.

Although it looks like this match could be the final one of their feud, something Michael Cole mentioned on SmackDown, there is a chance that it could continue till Elimination Chamber.

According to a recent report, the new plan for WrestleMania is to have John Cena face The Fiend while Goldberg faces Roman Reigns. If that is the case, WWE could decide to prolong Reigns and Corbin's feud till Elimination Chamber. Goldberg will be on limited dates and this could allow them to start their feud right after the WWE Elimination Chamber PPV.

If the Reigns-Corbin feud is to be prolonged, the best way would be for Baron Corbin to somehow pull off a win tonight.

#1 Brock Lesnar and Ricochet ends in DQ

The WWE Championship will be on the line at Super ShowDown as Brock Lesnar defends against Ricochet. This match has been in the making for a while. Lesnar attacked Ricochet on the RAW before the Royal Rumble, laying out the talented Superstar with a low blow.

Ricochet repaid the favour at the Royal Rumble, catching an unaware Lesnar with a low blow of his own while The Beast was facing off with Drew McIntyre. McIntyre used the opportunity to hit Lesnar with a Claymore Kick, eliminating him from the Royal Rumble match.

Ricochet then went on to win a #1 contender's match on RAW to book his match with Lesnar at Super ShowDown tonight.

On paper, Lesnar versus Ricochet is a mismatch and many fans expect The Beast to steamroll his challenger. However, as one of the most promising stars on RAW, Ricochet deserves better than that. WWE could decide to protect Ricochet and have the match end in DQ or count-out. If it ends in DQ, we could see Drew McIntyre come out to attack Lesnar.
