If you look at the card at WWE Super ShowDown, most matches are indeed very easy to call and predict as in the case with a lot of things in the current WWE landscape. And yet, there's one match that is almost impossible to call and yes, it is the contest between Goldberg vs. The Fiend.
This is because both men win a lot more matches than they lose and it's a rare sight indeed to see either take the pin. Even though Goldberg has been pinned a select few times during his career, The Fiend in his current avatar has been portrayed to be bulletproof.
So, with that in mind, I present 5 ways that the match at WWE Super ShowDown could potentially come to an end. As always, be sure to leave a comment and let me know if you agree or indeed if you disagree with my assessment.
Which of these finishes do you deem most likely?
#5 Goldberg is pinned thanks to Sister Abigail
Goldberg has always been positioned as an unstoppable force of nature who can run through his opponents. On the other hand, The Fiend has always been showcased as someone who can take a great deal of punishment and kick out every single team from the same. We all know that there will be multiple spears that The Fiend kicks out of during the course of the match.
But because The Fiend is clearly the younger man and the right thing to do would be to have Goldberg pass the torch, I can see him taking the pin after a Sister Abigail. Goldberg may not have done the job for Dolph Ziggler but he could certainly do so for The Fiend, considering the momentum he has.

#4 Goldberg passes out because of The Mandible Claw
But then, some may counter by saying that at his age, Goldberg taking Sister Abigail in a realistic manner would look very strange indeed. He was never Ricky The Dragon Steamboat even in his prime, and therefore, Goldberg may need to pass out to a safer and considerably simpler move.
If The Fiend is to take Goldberg out, the simplest way to do so maybe with The Mandible Claw, a move that he took from Mick Foley and has used successfully against many of his opponents including Daniel Bryan. Goldberg, or just about any other legend, could easily eat the move and just pass out in the middle of the ring and then, the business would have been done and the torch would have been passed if this is indeed the plan.
These are the two possibilities if plans entail The Fiend winning clean, of course. But this is Goldberg we're talking about, and so the outcome could indeed be quite different in terms of how things really play out during the match.
#3 Goldberg wins the match with a Jackhammer
When Goldberg came back for his previous run, nobody expected him to defeat Brock Lesnar in under 2 minutes and yet he did. He went on to defeat Kevin Owens to become the WWE Universal Champion and his program with Brock Lesnar was a big-ticket feud that went down well with a section of the audience.
And so, whether you like it or not, there's always the chance that Goldberg will be booked to defeat The Fiend and become the Universal Champion. I know that some of you may feel that it will undo everything that The Fiend has done since defeating Finn Balor, but remember that this is Goldberg we're talking about.
The same Goldberg who was almost as popular as Stone Cold Steve Austin during his WCW run and the same guy who looks like a beast even though he's in his 50s. A spear and a Jackhammer later, The Fiend may pop up.
But after a few spears, followed by a Jackhammer, we may have a new Universal Champion.
#2 The lights go out and The Fiend disappears
Mind games. In case, WWE wants to extend this feud all the way to WrestleMania based on the fact that appearances from Goldberg are guaranteed to boost ratings on the way to the biggest show of the year for the Blue brand, mind games are the way to go. When Goldberg has the match well in control, the lights could go out and The Fiend could just disappear from the ring.
While this may not make the people in the building all too happy, as we've seen in the past, for a finish to play out in this manner in the United States or Canada or even the United Kingdom would be the wrong move. The audience tends to be unforgiving and they would boo the rest of the broadcast if this was to happen during the show. But to extend the program, this finish may actually not go down too poorly in Saudi Arabia.
It will certainly not be booed as badly as Rollins did after WWE Hell in a Cell happened.
#1 Hulk Hogan invades the match, The Fiend wins by DQ
And then again, to protect both men in the match and to ensure that there isn't a result at the end of it, we could see this particular match play out in a very interesting manner. We know that Hulk Hogan is at odds with The Fiend and therefore, he could certainly come out and interrupt the match midway, to ensure that The Fiend has an out from the contest.
In this way, The Fiend is technically the winner on paper and Goldberg also has not technically lost the match, meaning that neither man needs to compromise on their appeal overall, in the long haul. Both men are special attractions owing to the fact that they never lose their matches and while this piece of business may not appeal to the hardcore fans, every casual in the building will love an appearance by the immortal Hulk Hogan.
Hogan and The Fiend could tussle at WrestleMania, while Goldberg goes on to face someone like Roman Reigns down the line.
