The Super Show-Down is set to be one of the most unique shows WWE has produced in recent years. It is not exactly a pay-per-view and will take place on a Saturday. It reminds us of the “in your house” shows from the attitude era.
That does not mean that it isn’t packed with potential. On the contrary, it has an almost Wrestlemania worthy card. The thing though is that WWE generally tends to play it safe at these shows but there are still some crazy things that could go down on Saturday.
Here are our predictions for the Super Show-Down in Australia (Oct 6).
[adace-ad id=&#8221;7797&#8243;]
<h2>Nikki Bella turns on Ronda Rousey</h2>

<figure style="width: 1200px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2018/09/125_RAW_09172018mm_1641--a533631b91ef9c306a09b82e5f2f11f4.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Image via WWE.com</figcaption></figure>
We start off with an obvious one. This has been in the cards for a long time and Rousey needs someone to feud with. Nikki Bella is considered as a top talent and is primed and ready for a heel turn.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;7795&#8243;]
This will, however, take place after they have already won their match. Somewhat like Evolution turned on Randy Orton back in the day. Expect wild celebrations to take place with a lot of hugs and smiles that quickly turns into a post-match attack on Rousey.
There won’t be much of an explanation given as to why Nikki turns on Rousey as that will probably be saved for the upcoming RAW. Anything from jealousy to professional rivalry could be possible reasons which would be explored in the coming weeks. Whether Brie Bella will also be a part of the attack is something that we will have to wait and see.

<h2>The IIconics win their first big match</h2>
<figure style="width: 1200px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2018/09/120_SD_09182018hm_1345--d4a45f6d8f0ea6a839b854c154a35108.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Image via WWE.com</figcaption></figure>
Normally the IIconics wouldn’t even be on the main card of such a high profile event but given the fact that it is their hometown and there aren’t any big names from Australia working for the WWE, they will be allowed to win just to keep the home crowd happy.
This means that Asuka and Naomi might even lose cleanly. It&#8217;s not like this feud has been gaining any major traction and the only reason it was hastily put in place was to give the IIconics a reason to be on the show and evoke some hometown reactions and emotions.
Whether this will work or will the IIconics get booed even by their home crowd is something that we will find out on Saturday.

<h2>The New Day defeat The Bar but get annihilated post-match</h2>
<figure style="width: 1200px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2018/10/030_SD_10022018mm_0560--7ec218603072d1345d571310aaeece4c.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Image via WWE.com</figcaption></figure>
There is very little chance that the titles will change hands at what is technically a house show. However, The New Day will be put through the grinder after the match.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;7797&#8243;]
This way WWE can protect its champions while keeping the feud alive. Another reason for the high probability of a victory for the New Day is that they are a face team and these shows are more about making the crowd happy rather than progressing storylines.
This was never the feud WWE had in mind as it was the Bludgeon Brothers who were supposed to be in this spot. Expect some comedic spots during this match as well possibly involving pancakes or even <a href="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/news/who-is-mr-bootyworth-the-identity-of-the-new-days-chef-revealed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr.Bootyworth</a>.

<h2>Buddy Murphy wins the Cruiserweight title in front of his home crowd</h2>
<figure style="width: 1200px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/all/2017/05/Murphy_bio--fca7d97d71fbb4c37280554c43d04997.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Image via WWE.com</figcaption></figure>
Unless you have been following 205 Live lately, you would almost be unaware of Buddy Murphy but he is big in Australia and that is why there is every reason for him to be the Cruiserweight champion by the end of the night.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;7792&#8243;]
For now he might be even more obscure than the IIconics to the mainstream audience but this is the only title change that will happen at the Showdown. WWE has done this in the past with its PPVs.
Such a title win also comes with the added benefit of creating some buzz for the Cruiserweight division. This might be what opens the show but it still should mean a lot to the local fans and should start the show off in a very positive and crowd-pleasing manner.

<h2>Daniel Bryan and The Miz ends in a no-contest</h2>
<figure id="attachment_11163" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-11163" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-11163" src="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz.jpg" alt="The Miz" width="800" height="450" srcset="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz.jpg 800w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz-696x392.jpg 696w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz-768x432.jpg 768w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz-85x48.jpg 85w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz-171x96.jpg 171w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz-313x176.jpg 313w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz-192x108.jpg 192w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz-384x216.jpg 384w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz-364x205.jpg 364w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz-728x410.jpg 728w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz-561x316.jpg 561w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz-758x426.jpg 758w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz-608x342.jpg 608w, https://api.wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Miz-600x338.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-11163" class="wp-caption-text">Image via Sportskeeda.com</figcaption></figure>
The biggest obstacle to getting a finish here is the fact that WWE would not want to end a really significant feud at a non-PPV event. This has been building up for a decade and deserves a Wrestlemania moment.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;7797&#8243;]
Another reason why one of these men cannot be inserted into the title picture is because the current feud between Samoa Joe and AJ Styles is nowhere close to a completion. In fact, things are only getting heated up. Expect the feud between the Miz and Daniel Bryan to continue well beyond the Super Showdown.
This might seem like a dampener but WWE’s hands are tied in this matter. The Miz and Bryan feud needs a much more powerful conclusion and whoever is chosen to go after the World title should feel like they have been through war to earn their shot. Doing that now would upset two of the best feuds WWE has going on at the moment.

<h2>John Cena and Lashley win but with issues</h2>
<figure style="width: 1200px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/all/2018/08/20180820_SuperShowDown_Cena_Lashley_KO_Elias--0cbf09245f967f95b1d897506f218b45.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Image via WWE.com</figcaption></figure>
We predict John Cena will begin a feud with Bobby Lashley somewhere down the line and this is where the seeds of that are sown. Expect some communication gaps and near misses mid-match.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;7792&#8243;]
They will, however, win but not before some arguments which could end with Lashley eating an attitude adjustment to keep the crowd elated. If it is a plain old clean win then the night might turn monotonous and this is the match WWE will mix things up a bit.
This can then set up a future feud for whenever John Cena decides to return to WWE. This could also be the program John Cena is put in for Wrestlemania as something can be made up with Bobby Lashley on short notice.

<h2>The Shield, Becky Lynch and AJ Styles win</h2>
<figure style="width: 1200px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2018/09/167_RAW_09242018dg_3404--2c0a3a240853edaced80a60eee5dee89.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Image via WWE.com</figcaption></figure>
The Shield winning is one of the surest things of the night and no, we will not get Ambrose’s heel turn either. The Super Showdown isn’t big enough for something major to go down on this front. In the same vein, Becky Lynch and AJ Styles will retain their titles.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;7797&#8243;]
The matches should be awesome though with the Styles and Joe clash probably stealing the show. There will be flashes of dissension from Ambrose but it won’t amount to much and will probably be an ongoing thing that goes on for a few more RAWs and PPVs.
All these matches will be more for the “feel-good” factor of the crowd and as such will not have any major storytelling or feud-progressing elements.

<h2>The Undertaker wins but DX has the final laugh</h2>
<figure style="width: 1200px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2018/09/055_RAW_09172018mm_0918--eb43bcacdd7b734b98632aff7a826516.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Image via WWE.com</figcaption></figure>
Again, there is no way the Deadman loses. WWE know that they have to protect the Phenom and Triple H is someone who can come unscathed after a loss.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;7792&#8243;]
Expect multiple interference throughout the match with HBK trying to help his best friend and Kane coming to the rescue of his brother. All this wouldn’t stop The Undertaker from beating Triple H but as he and Kane will be celebrating, DX would beat down the Brothers of Destruction.
A couple of Sweet Chin Music and Triple H’s sledgehammer will come into play. All the men will probably hit their finishers multiple times to give the crowd plenty to cheer about.
