8 Booking Steps For WWE Super Show-Down

1. Pin Roman

There are a few matches on this card that already look cut and dry (which is never a good thing for any show, regardless of it’s stature) but there are still ways to make them matter. The Shield vs Braun Strowman + pals is one of them.

On the face of it, this is your quintessential Good Guys beat Bad Guys at the end of the show event, but it’s also the payoff to what has been Raw’s most prominent storyline. Presuming we’re getting the two brands facing off at Survivor Series, there isn’t really a PPV for them to settle this 3 vs 3 story until TLC in December, and it’s hard to see it stretching out that far.

So how do you end the whole thing? Well, short of a huge betrayal (like Dean walking out on the rest of the lads and, specifically, turning on Seth) you need to give one of the group a reason to pursue a title feud with Roman. How you do that, is you give them a win over him.

Drew G̶a̶l̶l̶o̶w̶a̶y̶ McIntyre is a great next opponent for Roman. We’re in the weird end-of-year booking black hole before the Rumble, and moving Drew towards a singles run in 2019 is starting to get steadily more important. Keep him with Dolph, sure, but eventually he’s got to turn on him as well.

As for Roman, if he’s not going to win the crowd over then the very least he has to manage is to entertain them. Galloway’s not someone fans are clamouring to see given a run with the belt, so there’s not grand sense of injustice if he doesn’t win, plus the matches themselves are something we’ve not really seen before.
