This coming Friday, WWE will travel to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for their show, which is being called Super ShowDown.

Per usual, the company's trip to Saudia Arabia will feature a few returning legends, as WWE has routinely offered some of their biggest names a ton of money to wrestle in the country.

On this past Monday's installment of Raw, Brock Lesnar took the element of surprise out of Friday's Universal Championship match by telling Paul Heyman that he's planning to cash in his Money in the Bank contract either during or after the Seth Rollins vs. Baron Corbin match.

But, while Lesnar spoiled his own cash-in date on Monday, there's still room for a lot of other major surprises on the show.

So, without further ado, here are five major surprises that could happen at this coming Friday's Super ShowDown event, which will be shown on the WWE Network.


#5 Dolph Ziggler wins WWE Championship, Brock Lesnar cashes in

If WWE wants to throw a major swerve at their audience, they could do two in one match. Sure, Brock Lesnar did say that he was going to cash in his Money in the Bank contract during Super ShowDown, and many are predicting that he'll do so during the Universal Championship match.

However, he could end up doing so after the WWE Championship match has concluded.

Moreover, they could have Dolph Ziggler defeat Kofi Kingston for the title, which would shock everyone. Then, they could have Lesnar cash in, destroy Ziggler, and just for good measure, destroy Kingston en-route to winning the WWE Title.

Also, you could make the argument, due to the WWE's impending move to the Fox network, that Brock Lesnar could be valuable as SmackDown Live's top guy, which would likely help the ratings be where they should be, following the move.

#4 Baron Corbin beats Seth Rollins, Lesnar doesn't cash in

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE thinks that Baron Corbin is an effective heel, despite the fact that his heel run has largely been met with some of the worst television ratings in company history.

Over the last few weeks, WWE has teased that Brock Lesnar was going to cash in during Monday Night Raw, which only led to "The Beast" doing just the opposite. So, we could see more of the same at Super ShowDown.

WWE fans probably wouldn't be happy if Vince McMahon made the decision to put the red brand's main title on Baron Corbin at this coming Friday's show, but it's likely that the company will view the negative reactions as good heel heat for the "Lone Wolf."

Also, if Lesnar does actually cash in on the WWE Champion, then that might be a sign that Corbin is winning the big red belt, and that he's going to retain it, at least until the next episode of Raw.

#3 Bray Wyatt appears in and wins 50-Man Battle Royal

It seems that the majority of the WWE audience has really been enjoying the Firefly Fun House segments that have been airing on Monday Night Raw. Obviously, as the weeks go on, we're getting even closer to Bray Wyatt finally debuting his new gimmick in front of a live crowd.

While the card for Super ShowDown is pretty much set, there is a 50-man battle royal that will happen on the show, and it'd be perfect if Wyatt was the final man to make his entrance to the ring.

Also, it goes without saying that if Vince McMahon decides that the Super ShowDown battle royal is the perfect time to debut Wyatt's new gimmick, then the ex-WWE Champion should end up winning the match.

Furthermore, a Wyatt win in the battle royal might help build intrigue for next Monday's show, which is something that WWE desperately needs as they try to improve their weekly television ratings.

#2 Brock Lesnar cashes in and fails

Only a small handful of WWE wrestlers have failed when trying to cash in Money in the Bank, but it's probably safe to say that most fans believe that Brock Lesnar will not end up being on that list after this coming Friday's show.

But, one way to shock people would be to have Lesnar fail at cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on Seth Rollins, which should end up leading to "The Beast" officially making the move to SmackDown Live.

As previously mentioned, WWE needs for SmackDown Live to have big ratings on the Fox network if the move is going to be considered a success, and one way to keep the ratings up, at least for a little while, is to have Brock Lesnar appear as a regular character.

So, Lesnar failing to cash in could signal the end of his run on WWE's red brand.

#1 Goldberg defeats The Undertaker in less than one minute

Most would agree that the match between The Undertaker and Bill Goldberg should be kept as short as possible, which is something that the company probably agrees with. But, who will have their hand raised at the end of the match? And just how short will the match be?

WWE probably views The Undertaker as being more important than Goldberg, simply because the latter is an ex-WCW guy, and because of that, "The Phenom" is probably favored to win on Friday.

But, WWE could throw a Survivor Series 2016-like swerve at us by having Goldberg defeat the legendary Undertaker in less than one minute. It's quite simple: match starts, Spear, maybe a second Spear, then a Jackhammer, 1-2-3!

In the long run, it probably doesn't matter who wins this match, as there's at least a slight chance that this could be the final match in both Goldberg and Undertaker's careers.
