WWE Super Show-Down: 8 Most Likely Outcomes
Last time ever, or only the beginning?
With the barbaric days of Hell In A Cell behind them, the superstars of WWE now set their sights on Melbourne, Australia for the inaugural WWE Super Show-Down. Taking place inside the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the event will be watched by an audience of over 70,000 people (or so they keep telling us) and will be streamed live on the WWE Network.
Much like The Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, WWE has once again turned to its most reliable veterans to add some much-needed star power to the international spectacle. The show's main event will see former rivals The Undertaker and Triple H (with Kane and Shawn Michaels in the corner of their respective partner) compete for what is being billed as the "last time ever".
Though a seemingly random choice for a match that was clearly constructed just to ensure the event is watched by WWE fans of all ages, that contest at least has nostalgia going for it. The same cannot be said for some of the other matches, which seem like they've been randomly plucked out of thin air just to feature as many superstars as possible on the card. Having said that, some of them could, at the very least, provide us with some interesting developments going forward.
8. Elias And Kevin Owens Will Be Squashed
Over the past couple of weeks, Kevin Owens and Elias have both had their issues with Bobby Lashley and, at WWE Super Show-Down, they will finally get the chance to settle them in the ring. However, Lashley will be receiving backup in the form of the returning John Cena.
On paper, Cena and Lashley sounds like a great dream team, and this, unfortunately, doesn't bode very well for Owens and Elias. Given the magnitude of this event (and the fact that Cena is actually making a special appearance for it), there is just no way that the good guys aren't walking out of this one victorious. A loss on the faces' part would likely result in the storyline carrying on after Super Show-Down and, as 'The Champ' won't be around after the event, the chances of that happening are slim.
Moreover, Owens and Elias' recent directionless certainly doesn't give the impression that they're a force to be reckoned with. With that in mind, we should expect this pair to be promptly defeated by Lashley and Cena in a fun but forgettable bout designed just to appease the crowd, regardless of the lasting effects it could have on the losing superstars.
