We're just a few days removed from WWE Super ShowDown and everything hangs in the balance, as we march towards WrestleMania 36. The fact of the matter is that this is a show that could significantly alter the WrestleMania card.
And with that in mind, I'm here to suggest 5 things that should not happen during the show. Be sure to leave a comment and let me know if you agree or disagree with my points.
The Super ShowDown card may change even further after RAW but for the time being, we'll only focus on the matches that have been announced thus far. So, let's dive straight into the heart of the matter and look at the potential mistakes that WWE could make during the show.
Also, on a scale of 1-10, how excited are you about WWE Super ShowDown, dear ladies and gentlemen?
#5 Goldberg becomes the new Universal Champion
Growing up, I was the biggest fan of Goldberg as he tore through the WCW roster with 173 successive wins. But in the year 2020, I just think that his job should be to pass on the torch to the next generation. And especially unique characters like The Fiend, so as to not derail the storylines that are currently in progress on the road to WrestleMania.
The Fiend has been presented as a character who can take a lot of punishment but then get up as if nothing really happened. Imagine the kind of steam he will have if he kicks out of one, two, three, four, or even more spears at WWE Super ShowDown.
And for Goldberg to become the Universal Champion again would just ensure that the crowd boos him to no end, spoiling his legacy. The Fiend really needs to win.
#4 Hulk Hogan takes out The Fiend following his match against Goldberg
I know that this may be a matter merely of personal preference but I don't want to see Hulk Hogan vs The Fiend at WrestleMania. I know that the seeds of the feud were sown on SmackDown not long ago and I also know that The Mandible Claw is a safer move that Hulk Hogan can take quite easily, but at the same time, it'll be an odd contest.
If The Fiend is victorious against Goldberg, he should not have his victory party ruined by Hulk Hogan's iconic theme song where the legend takes Bray Wyatt down. And if The Fiend is to lose to Goldberg, I just don't want Hulk Hogan to come out and bury him even further, because that would be criminal.
If the two men are to interact, I would personally suggest some kind of a scuffle on SmackDown. Hulk Hogan could go down to the Mandible Claw and then, unleash nWo Hogan upon the world soon after, leading into the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony.
#3 Ricochet becomes the new WWE Champion
Of all the young men in the WWE roster performing at the highest level, Ricochet is probably the most promising of them all. He can do things in the ring that nobody else in the company can, but I don't know if he's ready to be the WWE Champion just yet.
Ricochet is an exemplary performer who can actually have a good showing against The Beast Incarnate, and in fact, I hope that he does not get squashed in the manner that Kofi Kingston did. But for him to become the WWE Champion would ruin the dream match at WrestleMania 36 between Brock Lesnar and Drew McIntyre which is not a good thing.
With all due respect to Drew McIntyre and Ricochet, a match between the two of them would not necessarily main-event RAW, much less WrestleMania. And this is why Brock Lesnar needs to carry the title to the grandest show of the company's calendar year.
However, I am certain that Ricochet will do fantastic things in the wrestling business.
#2 King Corbin defeats Roman Reigns
Ordinarily, I wouldn't have a problem with King Corbin defeating Roman Reigns because he's a great heel who can do his job very well indeed. But as anyone who has watched WWE for any length of time knows, the fact of the matter is that unless the babyface gets the decisive victory, the feud continues. And I don't think there's anyone anywhere in the world, who wants more Corbin and Reigns matches.
And more importantly, the rumor right now is that Roman Reigns will take on The Fiend at WrestleMania for the Universal Championship. If such is the case, Roman Reigns needs to pick up a big win to insert himself into the Universal Championship picture once again. Nobody has been able to stand up to The Fiend thus far, and Roman Reigns needs to be presented as a viable contender for the Universal Championship.
Reigns needs to pick up the big win and move on to a new opponent like the current Universal Champion by the next episode of SmackDown.
#1 Anyone but AJ Styles wins the Tuwaiq trophy
I mean no disrespect at all to all of the fantastic performers who will be competing for the Tuwaiq trophy in Saudi Arabia because they are all great. But not only does AJ Styles need the big win because he is back, but he honestly needs it because he has the biggest match at WrestleMania.
So whether his match is against a legendary performer like The Undertaker or if indeed, his match is against Shawn Michaels, based on all the shots he took, he needs to win this match to make another bold claim or two on RAW. And his words could be shut down by someone like The Undertaker who could show up to set up the big match for WrestleMania.
Be sure to check out last week's podcast which deals with the subject of the return of AJ Styles and Andrade to WWE, after the former's injury and the latter's monthlong wellness policy violation. Who do you think will win the Tuwaiq trophy?
