WWE Super ShowDown 2020: 5 Things that might happen at the event

Let Him In

WWE is gearing up for WWE Super ShowDown, which takes place on the 27th of February. The match card is also stacked with some interesting matches. The WWE Universe loves the show, and this is the first of two events this year that the company has to do as part of the 10-year deal that it has with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The fans are aware of the lineup for the show, and with WrestleMania 36 around the corner, the WWE Universe would know some of the outcomes for the Saudi event. It is unless the company decides to swerve the fans or do something unthinkable that we would have a surprising moment at the show.

This show may entice the fans, but then again, it may not because the probable outcome of the matches are already out in the open. There is a possibility that the championship matches will help some superstars get the desired push. While it is currently uncertain if a hometown hero would appear at the show or not, we have seen that the company uses local talents to sell their events. The Live Event in India used Jinder Mahal, while The IIconics and Buddy Murphy were the highlights of the Super ShowDown show in Australia. The show also saw Buddy Murphy win the Cruiserweight title.

It is with this in mind that we list down things that might happen


#5 Mansoor might not be a part of the show

As of this writing, Mansoor is not a part of the match card, and it seems unlikely that he will perform at the show. There have been four shows in Saudi Arabia till now, and Mansoor introduced himself to the WWE Universe in the country during the first event WWE Greatest Royal Rumble while he has been a part of two shows.

He defeated Cesaro during the last show held in October of 2019 and won the 51-man battle royal during Super ShowDown in June of 2019. The Superstar is a huge prospect and can be a great performer for the company in the coming years. It seems like the Superstar might miss this year's show.

#4 Roman Reigns will win the Steel Cage Match

According to the rumors, Roman Reigns and The Fiend will fight for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36. If this is the plan of the company for The Grandest Stage of them All, then The Big Dog will win the match at the event and end his long feud with King Corbin.

SmackDown happens a day after the show, and if The Big Dog loses the match, then he will lose the momentum. The Fiend will start his rivalry after WWE Super ShowDown, and the win for Reigns will help him.

The Big Dog versus The Fiend will sell out arenas, and so this is a great way to provide momentum to the face of the company. The feud between Roman Reigns and King Corbin is in its final stage, and so it would be fitting if the former Universal Champion picks up a win against his nemesis at the show in Saudi Arabia.

#3 Seth Rollins and Murphy retain the RAW Tag Team Titles

The Street Profits came out to save Kevin Owens from an attack by Seth Rollins, Murphy, and Authors of Pain. The team instantly got an opportunity at the RAW Tag Team titles at Super ShowDown, but this is neither the time nor the place for the champions to lose their titles.

The Street Profits have the required skills, and they will get the desired opportunity in due course of time. The company has less time by its side after Super ShowDown as they need to build the match card for Elimination Chamber and then WrestleMania 36.

With a lot of matches almost ready for The Grandest Stage Of Them All, the company would need a good storyline to make The Street Profits rise to the occasion. A loss at Super ShowDown followed by a win at Elimination Chamber will help The Street Profits who can claim their right to be the No.1 Contenders for the coveted titles at WrestleMania 36.

#2 Brock Lesnar retains the WWE Championship

Ricochet is the No.1 contender for the WWE Championship, and he takes on The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar. Drew McIntyre won the Men's Royal Rumble match at the event and didn't take time to announce on the following night on RAW that he will challenge the WWE Champion for a title match at WrestleMania.

The fans are behind The Scottish Pschyopath, and he is the most lauded Superstar in the current roster. He has challenged The Beast Incarnate, who is the most sought after guy in the company, and with the way things stand at this moment, we would see him realize his dream at the Grandest Stage Of Them All.

If this is the plan all along, then Ricochet will not win the title at the show. Ricochet will get the perfect push with his performance. While he may not be able to get a hold of the title, the WWE Universe will applaud his effort.

#1 The Fiend will defeat Goldberg

This is inevitable

The rumors mentioned in point No. 4 confirm that a match between The Fiend and Roman Reigns has been in talks for over a year, and now that the time is around, the company wouldn't want to change a marquee match.

Goldberg is a legend and a rightful member of the WWE Hall of Fame, but he is a part-timer now, while both The Fiend and Roman Reigns are performing full-time. The match at WWE Super ShowDown is an opportunity for the company to help two powerhouses showcase their prowess between the ropes.

The Icon is in no position to win the Universal Championship from The Fiend. The champion will inevitably retain the title against The Iconic Superstar who created a legacy by putting legends and Superstars out with a Spear and a Jackhammer.

We all know that Roman Reigns versus The Fiend is good enough to entice the fans, and this will be a great match to sell the tickets to WrestleMania.
