WWE Super Showdown is set to happen February 27th in Saudi Arabia and excitement for the event is at an all time high! Now that might have to do with the fact that various titles are on the line and the dream matches the company has put together, but there is truly something for everyone when it comes to this pay per view.
With that being said and WWE needing to carry their momentum in a meaningful way on The Road to WrestleMania 36, here are five things the company needs to do to make the pay per view a success.
As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us what you think the company should do at Super Showdown.
#5 Don't make Brock Lesnar vs Ricochet a squash match
Brock Lesnar versus Ricochet for the WWE Title is official for Super Showdown, but the jury is still out on what exactly fans will see during the match. On one hand, the company has quite the lineup for this pay per view and could probably get away with turning this contest into a squash match.
With that being said, however, it would feel like a cheap way out, especially since the company has been building up Ricochet over the past few weeks and it would just be sad to see. It would also be a huge crash landing for Ricochet, who would then have to go into WrestleMania season with a key loss on his record.
In the end, WWE has all the right things in place to put on a perfect David vs Goliath match. In fact, they have something that could probably steal the show if both Superstars put their minds to it. That's why the company owes it to themselves and the fans to make this match go long.
#4 Get Rusev's momentum back
In all honesty, Rusev got the raw end of the deal during his feud with Bobby Lashley and Lana, which is why he is in need of a big win right now. A win that will set him back on a reasonable course for WrestleMania 36 and hopefully give him a chance at a championship match in the future is needed.
Unfortunately for Rusev, he will have to outlast Bobby Lashley, AJ Styles, Erick Rowan, Andrade and R- Truth in a Tuwaiq gauntlet match to do this, but it's not impossible. In fact, with how over Rusev is, despite coming up short in his feud with Lashley and Lana, WWE could make this a big comeback of sorts for him.
In the end, Rusev might have lost his wife to Bobby Lashley and is currently floating around without much of a purpose, but WWE has the power to change all that! At least that way, Rusev gets one more shot at being a top babyface, he can put the Lashley saga behind him and hopefully move into a midcard title picture, if he is lucky.
#3 Keep the women's title on Bayley
It was less than a year ago that Natalya took on Lacey Evans in the first-ever women's match in Saudi Arabia and the company has Bayley versus Carmella planned for their upcoming trip! Of course, the women will be making history once again due to it being the first Women's title match in Saudi Arabia, but should the company make it even more special with a title change?
While taking the belt off of Bayley might seem appealing, especially with the former hugger being one of the most despised heels in WWE, Super ShowDown doesn't really seem like the best place to do it. In fact, with WrestleMania 36 right around the corner and a stacked Women's division looking to take on Bayley, why not save it for awhile?
Sure, WWE can make history by having the belt change hands for the first time in Saudi Arabia, and that would be a pretty spectacular moment. The problem, however, is that it wouldn't carry the same weight that it would at a place like WrestleMania, which is why the company should ultimately hold off on it for now.
#2 End the feud between King Corbin and Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns versus King Corbin has been nothing short of thrilling to watch over the last few months and that's why it's all the more difficult to bring it to an end. Of course, Reigns vs King Corbin was the perfect blend of personal and humiliating at times but there really isn't much more to do with it.
With that being said and Smackdown's two top Superstars set to face off in a steel cage match at Super ShowDown, the company needs to look for a way to end the feud between the two. At least that way, Reigns can get some much-needed momentum heading into WrestleMania season and WWE can protect Corbin from having to take a pinfall or submission.
In the end, keeping it going would still serve as suitable stop-gap for both Superstars on their road to WrestleMania, but it comes at the price of one of them needing to take a loss. With the cage match stipulation however, the company can script it so Reigns is able to escape the cage and Corbin doesn't have to take a clean loss so close to WrestleMania.
It's pretty much the only way out.
#1 Reveal The Fiend's weakness
It's no secret that storylines need to move forward and while the company has done an excellent job of doing this with The Fiend character, they still haven't given any clue as to what his actual weakness is. Furthermore, the company started to tease revealing The Fiend's weakness during his feud with Daniel Bryan, but ultimately gave up on it.
Not only was that a confusing series of events, especially since WWE didn't have The Fiend's signature red light on during his last match with Bryan, it also raised the question as to why the company did this? Of course, it would have made sense if the company continued to tease it or at least gave a hint, but they still haven't done so.
With that being said and there really being no overarching storyline for The Fiend's feud with Goldberg, the company should at least use Super ShowDown to reveal the character's weakness. That way, the storyline moves forward, fans get crucial questions answered and it raises the big question of whether anyone can manage to beat him?
