Keeping its promise to be a global entertainer, WWE is hosting PPVs all across the globe on a regular basis. The Greatest Royal Rumble was hosted in Saudi Arabia, Super Show-Down will be aired live from Australia, and Crown Jewel will be held in Saudi Arabia next month.
WWE is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that their fans in each country enjoy a memorable experience. Despite a star-studded match card being penned for the showdown at Melbourne Cricket Ground, a couple of surprises might be hidden under the hood to shock the fans.
Here are the top five surprises that can leave the fans spellbound at the Super Show-Down.
#1 An impromptu backstage stare-down
The Undertaker will be facing Triple H in a match, which is billed as the “Last Time Ever”. Although this a match which everyone is waiting to see, no one has forgotten the high-intensity build-up and the three-minute squash which happened at WrestleMania earlier this year.
The 16-times World Champion, John Cena, spent weeks before WrestleMania to get a reaction from the Undertaker. Finally, the “Phenom” returned from the Death-Valley on the night of Mania itself and sent the “Leader of Cenation” packing in a matter of minutes.
Since then, the WWE Universe has been speculating a rematch between these two Superstars on the next year’s edition of WrestleMania. Both Superstars have made sporadic appearances since the “Showcase of Immortals”.
Interestingly, these two men will be present simultaneously for the upcoming show. Not to mention, the opponent for the Undertaker is the same man who was defeated by John Cena a couple of months ago at the Greatest Royal Rumble.
Although the WWE think-tank has their hands full with the current storyline as it involves Kane and Shawn Michaels as well, an unexpected backstage confrontation is always on the cards to tease the fans. Not only will it be a seizing moment for the fans, but will also provide an opportunity for the company to check the crowd’s reaction to the possibility of a WrestleMania rematch.
#2 Kurt Angle takes the charge
A couple of weeks ago, Stephanie McMahon accused Baron Corbin of losing control over Monday Night Raw. She added that she might consider bringing back Kurt Angle a little sooner than expected if the acting General Manager doesn’t improve his work.
Super Show-Down is a stepping stone in WWE’s global tours. Hence, Kurt Angle might get called back to share the duties for the night. Per the “Authority”, this would be “Best for Business”.
If this indeed happens, it will be a long night for the “Lone Wolf”. On the other hand, the fans will be treated to an engaging backstage drama.
#3 The Bellas attack Ronda Rousey
The Bella Twins will team with the Raw Women’s Champion, Ronda Rousey, to take on Riott Squad this Saturday. If nothing happens out-of-the-box, the former trio is expected to come out on the top.
However, Nikki Bella was the last woman to be eliminated from the Royal Rumble earlier this year. Notably, it was the same night on which Ronda Rousey appeared after the Women’s Royal Rumble match, and confirmed that she had signed a full-time deal with WWE.
Hence, it will be a good surprise to have the Bellas turn heel against the reigning champion. After all, Evolution PPV is just four weeks away, and Ronda Rousey’s opponent is still to be decided.
#4 Dean Ambrose turns heel
Over the last two weeks, Dean Ambrose’s affection to his Shield-brothers has been widely discussed both in and out of the ring. Mind games were played in full-force by Dolph Ziggler to make the “Lunatic Fringe” betray his faction.
So far, the recently returned Superstar has stood alongside his team. Last week, he denied the opportunity to challenge the Intercontinental or the Universal Championship, both of which are held by the other two members of The Shield.
However, he was quite bitter after his loss against Braun Strowman. Further, he told both Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns that he could have become the champion (had he had challenged them).
Could the fans see a heel turn at Super Show-Down from the only man without a championship in the faction? Let us know what you think about this in the comments section below.
#5 A Jewel match in the making for the Crown Jewel
Last week, Shawn Michaels was live on Raw to give his final thoughts about the match between the Undertaker and Triple H. As predicted, Kane interrupted the “Show Stopper”.
Soon he was joined by his brother, who attempted to deliver a Tombstone Pile-driver to the same man whose career he ended at WrestleMania 26. Subsequently, the members of DX received choke-slams from the “Brothers of Destruction”.
Both Kane and HBK will be present at the ringside during the upcoming match. Hence, it is quite probable that they will interfere as their favorite takes a back-seat during the match. If it happens, the dream match involving these two legendary teams might become a reality at WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh.
