5 shockers WWE might be planning for Super Showdown 2019

WWE Super Showdown is just a few hours away. The event will emancipate live from King Abdullah International Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Some of the biggest Professional Wrestling names of the last 20 years are scheduled to be a part of the show such as Goldberg, The Undertaker, Triple H etc.

The event will feature iconic showdowns and a massive battle royal featuring 50 Superstars in the same ring at the same time! It will be interesting to see if WWE does something special for accommodating such a large number of Superstars (for example, multiple rings as in WCW World War Battle Royals).

It can't be argued that the hype surrounding this pay-per-view has even got Wrestlemania 35 beat. Here's to hoping that the event actually delivers on this hype and doesn't turn out to be a spectacular house-show.

In addition to exciting matches, a good Pay-per-view should be packed with twists and surprises to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. So, here are 5 exciting things WWE could pull off tonight.

#5 The Demon Loses his first Main Roster match:

Demon Balor is set to Defend the Intercontinental Championship against Andrade tonight.

Ever since Finn Balor returned from injury in 2017, he has been used as an upper mid-carder at best. Although all of his matches are highly entertaining, there's no clear direction to where his character is actually headed. However, there is a really cool approach to his character, which is when he enlists the help of his demon alter-ego when he is cornered.

The Demon persona of Finn Balor can only be seen a handful of times during the entire year, which makes it so special. Tonight at Super Showdown, he will be appearing as the Demon to defend his Intercontinental Championship against Andrade. It should be noted that in nearly 3 years, Demon Balor hasn't lost a single match on the main roster.

Now coming to Andrade, he has been on a roll lately. At a time when Superstars are requesting to be released due to being unhappy with how they are being treated, Andrade has been urging Vince to push him instead of throwing tantrums. This attitude could really impress the Chairman and result in a big push for El Idolo, starting tonight!

Thus, we have a strong reason to believe why Andrade might be the first Superstar on the main roster to silence The Demon.

#4 24/7 Title Changes Hands During the Battle Royal:

Expect the 24/7 Title to be Featured Prominently during the Event.

Although there was harsh criticism at first when the 24/7 title was revealed, it has now grown on most members of the WWE Universe. People are now finding the randomness of the newly introduced title refreshing and "entertaining". Over the last week, the title has changed hands inside the ring, under the ring, on a golf course and even inside of an AEROPLANE!

The ideas are limitless when it comes to thinking about the best possible scenarios for a title change. There is so much to explore! However, a smart guess would be that the 24/7 title plays a crucial role during the 50-man battle royal. After all, there will be a number of referees surrounding the ring and the match would consist of nearly 3-dozen lower to mid-card talents. Thus, expect the title to change a number of times during the course of the match.

#3 Natalya and Alexa Bliss make a Revolutionary Announcement for the Next Saudi Event:

Natalya and Alexa Bliss were spotted in Jeddah recently.

Despite the Saudi shows featuring legends, pyro and other fascinating elements required to make a PPV successful, they often get criticized. One of the reasons behind it is the fact that women are not allowed to compete there. WWE has been quite supportive of and vocal about gender equality. Over the past couple of years, WWE has had its first-ever women's Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber and Money in the Bank Ladder matches. In addition to that, the company also introduced the Women's Tag Team Championships earlier this year.

Thus, when WWE decides to hold a show in a country where women aren't allowed to Wrestle, people get offended and express their displeasures quite vocally. However, it was reported earlier this week that Alexa Bliss and Natalya have made the trip to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and a possible match between the two might take place tonight.

Even if the match gets a green light, it shouldn't take place tonight as the first women's match in KSA should have a decent build and hype around it. Therefore, WWE can use the two to deliver an exciting and revolutionary announcement regarding a women's match at the fall Saudi show.

#2 Brock Lesnar Becomes the New WWE Champion:

Brock Lesnar has announced that he would be cashing in his MITB Contract at WWE Super Showdown.

Ever since the Beast Incarnate won the Money in the Bank ladder match last month, he has been the talk of the town. The fact that both WWE and Universal Champion are concerned about Lesnar cashing in his contract on them makes this story-line intriguing. This week on Raw, the former Universal Champion dished out a brutal beat down on Seth Rollins and indicated that he would be cashing in at Super Showdown.

However, the fact that Lesnar had Rollins in a position where the latter couldn't even stand on his two feet and then deciding to postpone the cash in seems like red herring. Lesnar is scheduled to be a big part of the show tonight. However, what would really catch the audience off guard is if Lesnar decides to cash in his contract on the WWE Champion. Dethroning Kofi would bring media Backlash towards WWE and Lesnar but it would spice things up in the upcoming months.

#1 Iconic Interferences:

Sting and Kane could pop up to aid Goldberg and The Undertaker respectively.

WWE Super Showdown will feature Goldberg battling The Undertaker for the first time ever. The match has been in the making for nearly 22 years now. Although people think that the match will not be as entertaining as it would have been 10 years ago, the nostalgic factor associated with it will cover up for most of the flaws.

Moreover, we can witness a few interferences throughout the match. Similar to last year's Super Showdown event, Kane could appear to assist his (kayfabe) brother, The Undertaker. This would make sense as Kane actually has history with Goldberg.

On the other hand, the Icon could come to the aid of his WCW rival Goldberg and even the odds. Sting interfering could also help in setting up a Sting/The Undertaker match at the next Saudi event. The reason why this move makes sense is that Sting was recently announced for Starrcast 3, taking place during the weekend of AEW All Out. WWE might give Sting a match against The Undertaker and have him abandon the Starrcast appearance.

Even if it's not for setting up a match, the interferences can be used as nod to the idea that The Undertaker/Goldberg match is more about WWE vs. WCW. The two legends have nothing else to fight for against each other, so this approach (though overused) could work and give fans a remarkable moment.
