5 mistakes WWE should not make at Super Show-Down in Melbourne

Say whatever you want to say about WWE's weekly programming products, but you sure as hell cannot disagree to the fact that WWE has been on a roll with the pay per views so far in 2018.

Leaving out Backlash and Extreme Rules, all the pay per views so far have exceeded all expectations, with some like Hell in a Cell and Money in the Bank delivering plenty of great matches on the same night.

Even then, it would be a lie to say that WWE has not made mistakes even on those great pay per views. Right now, WWE is putting in all effort to promote their grand show in Melbourne, with marquee matches like Triple H vs The Undertaker and WWE Championship matches leading the promotion paths on both brands.

WWE wants to make the show a huge success, and hence cannot afford to make these 5 mistakes at Super Show-Down in Melbourne.

#5 One of the IIconics pins Asuka

We all know they are going to win, but how?

The only reason why Billie Kay and Peyton Royce are even on the card for Super Show-Down is because the show is in Australia, and WWE needed some Australian talent to feature at the MCG. Apart from that, you cannot find any other reason that could solidify their presence on the card.

What's worse is that they are clear favourites to win their tag match against Asuka and Naomi because they are Australian. So the question now is not who should win the match, but who will take the fall, Asuka or Naomi? Well, the answer is simple - Naomi.

Although Naomi is a tremendous athlete, and a huge fan favourite, she had her moments last year. With women's champion Becky as the top heel on the brand, WWE needs a rejuvenated Asuka as her opponent during the WrestleMania season. Taking the pin fall here would again start a needless downward spiral for her.

#4 Another screwy finish to The Miz vs Daniel Bryan

Time to halt this rivalry for now with a clean finish

What exactly went wrong with this rivalry? WWE took 2 full years to sow the seeds of this rivalry, and even brought back Daniel Bryan to the ring after 3 years, but everything has gone down-hill ever since the two of them stepped in the ring together at SummerSlam 2018. While their match at SummerSlam was good, it wasn't the classic we were expecting from these two veterans.

To bring the rivalry to an awfully low level, WWE decided to include the wives of both these performers, and made them the center of focus ahead of the mixed tag match at Hell in a Cell. This obviously was disappointing.

Now WWE and these two performers have one more opportunity to make amends for everything that has transpired so far, and that is by bringing this rivalry to a halt with a clean finish at Super Show-Down.

It doesn't matter who wins, because both results will lead to dream feuds in the future. But a screwy finish would definitely earn a lot of flak from the WWE Universe. Also, it would only hamper Daniel Bryan's record since his return, which is something no one wants to see.

#3 Charlotte regains the Women's Title

Let Becky Rule

My trust in WWE was rediscovered when they took the bold decision of finally putting the SmackDown Women's Championship on Becky Lynch after almost 2 years.

Maybe this was the plan all along, maybe not, but barring the opposite roles that Charlotte and Becky have played so far, WWE has probably hit the right target on every note with this rivalry. The crowd is loving Becky as a heel, and this is the best thing that could have happened to her.

However, there is still a fear among the fans that WWE might bring an early end to Becky's reign, just to give Charlotte her record 8th reign as Women's Champion. This would be as terrible a decision as putting the WWE Championship on Jinder Mahal (which was a nightmare).

Becky has more momentum than any other star on the roster, and WWE should not use it for Charlotte's benefit, but to develop the entire SmackDown division around Becky. As for Charlotte's record reign, WWE should save it for some big show, like WrestleMania 35.

#2 Styles vs Joe in the mid-card again

After the rivalry they have had so far, this is the least they deserve

Why is WWE doing this with their biggest creation? I mean, when was the last time AJ Styles actually defended the WWE title on a pay per view during the last hour of the show?

While its placing at SummerSlam was a smart choice, considering how the card was presented overall, it wasn't even SmackDown's main event at Hell in a Cell, even as the rivalry is probably the best one we have seen for the WWE title in years.

Both Champion AJ Styles and challenger Samoa Joe are proven in-ring legends, and produced two great matches at SummerSlam and Hell in a Cell, with the SummerSlam match being one of the best of the year. With their encounter at Super Show-Down rumoured to be the last of this rivalry, it deserves a high place on the card at the show.

It is not about getting the chance to close the show at any cost, but an opportunity to wrestle in the penultimate slot on 20+ minutes, especially when you consider that it is the sole world title match on show. That would be enough to acknowledge the effort these two have put on the program over the past 2 months.

#1 Six man tag match as the main event

There's only one match that should be the main event, and it's not this one

WWE has taken some really weird decisions with the choice of main events of their pay per view so far. While putting Joe vs Roman in the final slot at Backlash was as wrong a decision as WWE could have ever made, the mind-boggling decision to put the Intercontinental match after the WWE Championship match at Extreme Rules somehow turned a good match into a bad affair.

The crowd have reacted in bad ways to most of the main events, and with more than 70,000 people expected at MCG, WWE must be very careful while choosing the final match for the show.

While the logical choice would be to either put the WWE title match or 'The Last Time Ever Match' on that slot, it won't be a big shock to see the 6 man tag match from Raw in that spot. After all, it has all male champions from Raw in that match, albeit without anyone actually defending titles.

While it won't produce a shock, it would certainly produce a big revolt from the fans in Melbourne who would be expecting to see Triple H and The Undertaker finish it off once and for all inside the ring - in the main event.

Panic buttons were turned on when fans started walking during the main event of Backlash, therefore the WWE certainly doesn't want a situation similar to that during an event as big as Super Show-Down.
