6 potential finishes for Triple H vs The Undertaker at WWE Super Show-Down

On October 6 2018, WWE's Super Show-Down is scheduled to take place at the grand Melbourne Cricket Ground. The main event of this mammoth show features four young, promising, and upcoming megastars who represent the future of the company.

They have an average age of only 51 years and have all been involved in wrestling for only about three decades. Okay, keeping the sarcasm regarding WWE's heavy dependability on its megastars of the past aside, very soon we are going to witness four of the greatest superstars of all time in one single frame, probably for the last time ever.

The Undertaker and Triple H are two of the most recognised wrestlers ever, and with Kane and Shawn Michaels in their corners, this match is nothing short of a super dream match. Here we try to analyse the potential finishes to this mammoth match, based on how suitable they would be from a storyline point of view. Lets see how this goes.

#6 Triple H pins The Undertaker clean

Suppose Kane and Shawn Michaels do not get involved in any way, and are present just to be hype men. The match is wrestled in a fair way, and after a few false finishes, Triple H pins The Undertaker after hitting one or more Pedigrees.

This would probably be the worst possible finish, having Triple H who has recently lost every singles match he has been in beat The Undertaker clean. The Deadman recently squashed John Cena , so having Triple H win cleanly would make no sense at all. Also, no involvement from Michaels and Kane would be a waste of their presence.

The only purpose this sort of finish could serve would be trolling the fans, something which WWE does from time to time.

#5 The Undertaker pins/submits Triple H clean

Suppose Kane and HBK do not get involved in any way possible, and after a decent match The Undertaker gets the better of Triple H.

This finish definitely makes sense from a storyline perspective, but would be nothing but a sheer waste of opportunity as there is much more that can be done.

If after this Shawn Michaels out of frustration hits the Sweet Chin Music on The Undertaker and escapes before Kane can get him, it would add a little intrigue to the finish, and hint a possible tag match for WWE Crown Jewel.

#4 Kane turns on The Undertaker and costs him the match

Kane could explain this by saying he owes a lot to Triple H, who had appointed him Director of Operations, and that he finally wanted to let The Undertaker know that he is the better brother (which would be very silly though).

This finish would shock some people. It would also lead to one final brother vs brother match. However, it would be very myopic. Kane and The Undertaker are at the absolute twilight of their careers, and having them feud with each other will serve no purpose.

Also, this will also necessitate another patch up between them, as they can't end their careers as rivals. This entire cycle would take a lot of time and ruin any opportunity these two could give to younger stars by facing them. Therefore it is not recommended.

#3 Interference from both Kane and Shawn Michaels, culminating in a No Contest

Suppose the referee loses control, or gets taken out, prompting HBK to interfere for Triple H, and subsequently Kane for The Undertaker. Both Triple H and Undertaker have survived multiple finishers by this time and are exhausted.

Shawn hits The Undertaker with Sweet Chin Music after he was about to go for The Tombstone. Kane comes in and tries to Chokeslam Shawn, but Triple H stops him. They try to double team on him, but as he is too exhausted, and Shawn is out of touch, Kane gets the better for some time and Chokeslams Shawn through the announcer's table.

He comes back in the ring to face Triple H who tries to hit him with a sledge hammer but fails. Kane tries to go for a Chokeslam, but Triple H low blows him and Pedigrees him on a chair. He then goes for The Undertaker who is still out.

Undertaker catches him into Hell's Gate, and Triple H starts to fade. Fortunately just before he would give up, he grabs the hammer nearby and strikes Undertaker. The Undertaker releases the hold, but Triple H has also faded. All four men are out. A new referee comes in and declares the match a No Contest.

This or any similar finish would lead to a tag match at Crown Jewel, but at the same time would be the second consecutive pay per view main event with an inconclusive end. Therefore, I don't think it would be the best finish.

#2 Interference from Kane and Shawn, but finally The Undertaker prevails

Suppose in a similar fashion both interfere. In the end however, it's The Undertaker who gets the better of Triple H. One possibility for this would be that in the previous slide's narrative, Triple H fails to get the hammer and taps. This is not quite recommended as it would be the same as their WrestleMania 27 match.

Another way this could happen would be that in the previous slide's narrative, both men get up instead of staying out, and The Game gets to his feet first and goes for The Pedigree, but The Undertaker counters and nails him with a Tombstone Piledriver for the count.

Kane recovers and they do the classic Brothers of Destruction pose, and there is a happy ending to the show. If no future tag match is intended, all 4 legends may show respect to each other, and the show closes with both DX and Brothers of Destruction poses.

Although this or a similar finish (with the same outcome of the match) would be the most liked one, I personally wouldn't recommend it the most. It makes perfect sense for The Undertaker to beat Triple H as he squashed Cena, and Triple H lost to Cena.

However, this would further diminish the credibility of any wrestler who beats Triple H in the future. If The Game loses to everyone, there would be no positive in beating him going forward.

#1 Interference from Shawn and Kane, but finally Triple H prevails

Triple H has been losing almost every singles match he has been in recently (with the Jinder Mahal exception). One thing Shawn was right about was that Triple H sure has more left in the tank than The Undertaker does.

He is younger and in better shape, he is therefore likely to go on for much longer. If he beats The Undertaker, he will restore his credibility as an ace performer. Therefore, future stars who get the better of him will have something really big to brag about.

Also, because he sort of cheats to win, The Undertaker's credibility does not diminish that much. Yes, he does not come out as invincible as he once was, but that is good in a way. It could ensure storyline continuity. Therefore, I feel it's a win-win situation.
