WWE is days away from its second overseas pay per view of the year and while The WWE Universe seems to be excited about the pay per view down under, one still has to wonder what exactly is going to take place when WWE goes live from Australia. In fact, one also has to wonder what WWE is willing to do on a show like this.
Of course, WWE's pay per view is going to face quite a few challenges, including being overseas, being a weird start time and not having the kind of card that screams big pay per view, but they can more than make up for that by doing the most with what they have. The question, however, is whether they can do that or not.
With that being said and Super Show-Down offering a little bit of something for everyone on Saturday, here are five last-minute rumours The WWE Universe needs to know about the first time pay per view. As always, let us know what you think in the comments below and be sure to let us know what match you are looking forward to the most on Saturday morning.
#5 Rey Mysterio return
The WWE Universe has been anticipating Rey Mysterio's return for a while now, but it appears they are going to have to wait a little bit longer. According to The Wrestlevotes twitter account, while there was reportedly some talk of bringing him back for the super showdown, it is believed WWE will hold off on the return until Smackdown Live 1000
Unfortunately for fans, that means WWE is holding off on Mysterio's return until October 16th, which would make sense given the fact that Mysterio first became a big star on Smackdown. Furthermore, that's where he won his first World Heavyweight title and is thus a special place for the master of The 619.
#4 Undertaker vs Triple H
It appears to be a setup.
While WWE is billing Undertaker versus Triple H as a last time ever extravaganza, it appears that the company have some very interesting plans for the match. In fact, from some of the rumours that are circulating on the internet, it almost feels like The Undertaker is about to take a huge loss to Triple H in Australia
According to Wrestlinginc.com, "Michaels will be in Triple H's corner for the match with The Undertaker at WWE Super Show-Down in Australia on October 6. Kane will be in Taker's corner and it's believed that this will set up Michaels and Triple H vs. The Brothers of Destruction for WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on November 2."
Doesn't that sound like Undertaker will be taking the loss in this match? Why else would Shawn Michaels come out of retirement for one more match? Maybe WWE could do it by having Undertaker trying ot hurt Triple H, but even that would be a far-fetched way for Michaels to come out of retirement.
In the end, the only real thing that's going to bring Michaels out of retirement is him costing The Undertaker a match and that seems to be exactly what is going to go down in Australia. Of course, WWE might surprise fans with a few other options and work out the storyline in a way that was never expected, but this is probably their best case scenario.
#3 Ronda Rousey vs Nikki Bella
While WWE has hinted at doing Ronda Rousey versus Nikki Bella yet, Cagesideseats.com is reporting that WWE will start doing the angle at Saturday's Super showdown pay per view. With that being said, that means something is set to happen during Rousey's six-person tag team match with The Bella Twins, which begs the question of what WWE will do here.
In all honesty, it feels like WWE only has two options in this situation. The first is that they can do the whole who gets the final tag thing and have Bella get upset that she was overshadowed. The other thing WWE can do is just have Nikki attack Rousey out of nowhere after the match and explain her reasons the next night on Raw.
Either way, it's going to be pretty out of nowhere and hopefully lead to the rumoured match at The Evolution pay per view. Unfortunately for WWE, they are still going to have to deal with fans uneasiness with seeing Nikki Bella back in a main event capacity, but they can more than makeup for it by weaving an interesting story around the match.
#2 Liv Morgan's status
Speaking of the match between Ronda Rousey, The Bella Twins and The Riott Squad, The Wrestling Observer notes that it is unclear whether Liv Morgan has been cleared from her concussion injury or not. The Observer also notes that she is being flown to Australia anyway in case she is able to compete.
With that being said there is no word yet on who would replace Morgan if she is unable to compete at Saturday's Super Showdown in Australia, but WWE does have a few options they could go to if they absolutely needed to. WWE could even do a two on three handicap match and use that to set up the finish between Rousey and Nikki somehow.
#1 Title changes
Why WWE would do this on a pay per view that absolutely needs the kind of big moment a title change would provide is troubling, but it looks like WWE doesn't exactly plan to award fans for waking up at 5 am in the morning. In fact, according to Cagesideseats.com's rumor roundup, there will be no title changes!
That means that Samoa Joe most likely won't be taking The WWE title from AJ Styles, The Bar will be unsuccessful in their plights to get the tag team titles back and Charlotte will fail in her quest to recapture The Women's title. Not only is that disappointing to hear, especially with the momentum that Joe has right now, but also for fans hoping to see something big.
In the end, it's not a deal breaker and WWE will still have a few other matches that are must-see, but its definitely going to affect the overall quality of Saturday's pay per view. Furthermore, it going to create a monotonous nature throughout the four hours runtime that could sour fans on the experience completely
