WWE's Super Showdown is about to commence in a few hours from Melbourne, Australia. The star studded event is packed with ten matches including four title matches and a last time ever clash of the legends, the Undertaker vs HHH.
While the event is assumed to be a glorified live event with most of the matches having a clear probable winner, there is always room for a few swerves down the line. These swerves can help shape the future storylines.
In this article, we would be going through the swerves that could happen at the event.
#5 Riott Squad wins
Ronda Rousey is going to team up with the Bella twins to take on the Riott squad. Given the standings of the Riott Squad and Rousey, the face team is clearly getting the win. But, what if, the Riott Squad pulls off an upset.
With rumors circulating about Nikki Bella facing Ronda Rousey at WWE Evolution and a possible heel turn for Nikki Bella at WWE Super Showdown, Nikki needs a reason to turn against Ronda, and a loss can become the catalyst for her move to the villainous side.
#4 Bobby Lashley turns heel
Bobby Lashley was attacked by Kewin Owens during a segment with Jinder Mahal. Owens was then joined by Elias who also had some unfinished business with Lashley. At Super Showdown, Owens and Elias would team up against Lashley and a returning John Cena.
Lashley's face run hasn't been quiet up to the expectations. Even after defeating Roman Reigns in his last PPV appearance, he has missed the next two PPVs. He has carried the feud alone, with Cena making an appearance directly at the Super Showdown. And, similarly to Nikki, if they lose due to miscommunication, it might prompt Lashley to turn against Cena, carrying on the feud to WWE Crown Jewel.
#3 Shinsuke Nakamura attacks AJ Styles
The match between AJ Styles and Samoa Joe for the WWE World Heavyweight title has become very personal. Joe's continuous involvement in AJ's family has taken the feud to the next level. AJ's wife Wendy could play a crucial factor in this match.
Shinsuke Nakamura on the other hand is directionless and doesn't have a match on the card. He has recently shown interest in having another match with AJ in an interview. While the majority would be expecting Wendy to interfere, Nakamura could be the perfect swerve. The No disqualification stipulation could be the prime opportunity for Shinsuke to rekindle his rivalry with Styles. It would also prove to be a seamless transition for AJ Styles out of the world title picture.
#2 Shield loses
The Shield would be facing the team of Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre. All the men's titles from RAW are involved in this match and hence no title change is going to occur from RAW 's side.
Similar to the Greatest Royal Rumble, Super Showdown is also considered as a glorified live event, where most likely the winner would be the face team. But, what if, the heels pulls off the win. This could also become a factor in the dissension among the Shield.
#1 Batista returns
HHH vs the Undertaker is the marquee match around which the whole event is built. This is going to be the last time ever match between the two. Shawn Michaels and Kane are slated to be alongside HHH and the Undertaker respectively.
An Evolution Reunion has been announced for the 1000th episode of Smackdown and it could be a great way to introduce them in a storyline. The match is assumed to be a DX vs Brothers of Destruction encounter, but Evolution could also get involved. With just two weeks for Smackdown1000, the interference could become the reason for their presence at the show. Batista could bring the numbers game to HHH's advantage.
