Oh hey Wrestle Talk! Looks who's just crossed over? It's me! SoCalVal from screen stalker,
and yes, the same SoCalVal you may know from Impact Wrestling, WOS Wrestling and generally
about every wrestling promotion ever. Frankly I'm sure you're sick of seeing me...but you're
here now! So let's talk WRASSLIN'! Today, I've got some hot gossip for you concerning
WWE's Super Showdown. Rumour has it that we are in for an awesome PPV...but before we
get started, have a superclick party by hitting the like, subscribe and bell icon to enable

is: “______”
Super Showdown is set to emanate from Saudi Arabia, not that you would know that, on June
7th. The Saudi shows are never short on controversy, and with controversy comes speculation and
rumour. Today I’ll be taking you through some of the rumours you need to know about
Super Showdown, you know, “the show that will be as good as, or better than WrestleMania”.
I still can’t believe that’s the tagline they’re going with.
Now here's the unofficial, word on the street! First up: in a re-hash of what happened last
year, because nothing can be unique anymore, Super Showdown will host a 50-Man Battle Royal.
In theory it would be quite difficult to predict who is going to win the match, considering
there’s you know, 50 people in it, but that doesn’t stop betting sites from having a
go at it. It's being said that Lars Sullivan Will Win The 50-Man Battle Royal. You know
Lars...he's the guy that's too creepy looking to fire even though he's a complete idiot
and can’t be trusted with a keyboard! I guess WWE's policy is, when you look like
a deranged villain from Indiana Jones, you can say whatever you want. Haha! Awesome.
**intense worried stare*** But anywaaaaayy...
It’s clear to the Saudi Prince that the entire Saudi Arabia shows are built around
is an old-school wrestling fan, with him requesting Yokozuna and The Ultimate Warrior for The
Greatest Royal Rumble last year despite both of them being dead, and this is compounded
by the more traditional more muscular, bigger guys being featured over the smaller talent,
as it was in the 80s. Braun Strowman won The Greatest Royal Rumble last year, and it seems
another big guy may be winning it again this year.
According to betting sites, Lars Sullivan is the favourite to win the 50-Man Battle
Royal, which is most definitely not out of the question. Other possible favourites include
Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre, **DREWWWW*** Roman Reigns, and interestingly, Ali. Ali
was reportedly the man who was going to win the Money in the Bank briefcase last month,
before Brock Lesnar came around.
Let’s hope Ali is tipped to win because he’s a great wrestler and not because well,
Vince thinks he’s from around the Saudi Arabia area, because he isn’t. He was born
in America and has Pakistani and Indian parents and if you look at a map, none of those are
even close to Saudi Arabia. So don’t do it Vince.
Now if you're like me and you're constantly reading wrestling predictions on the interwebs....you
know that MOST people are assuming Braun Strowman Will Win.
While Braun will almost certainly be competing in the 50-Man Battle Royal as well, he also
has a match against Bobby Lashley. Because you guessed it! **flex**...big men.
In probably the least shocking news for the entire card, Braun Strowman is currently the
favourite to win the match, hopefully in a nice quick match so we can get on to the technical
masterpiece between two young up and comers that will be Goldberg vs Undertaker.
Though others are saying: Roman Reigns Will Win
The Big Dog is set to take on The Best in the World at Super Showdown, and Roman is
the clear favourite to win the match. Shane McMahon has been on a hot streak, defeating
The Miz at WrestleMania and in their rematch at Money in the Bank, and he’s clearly a
favourite for the Saudi Arabia crowd, with him winning the tournament to crown the Best
in the World, which, lest we forget, he wasn’t actually a part of, at Crown Jewel last year.
Having said that, this is Roman Reigns, and the chances of him losing to Shane McMahon
are so incredibly small, even smaller than the chance of Mojo Rawley becoming Universal
Champion.
Also in the rumour mill: Goldberg and Undertaker Will Not Have a Definitive Winner
In what will most likely be the main event of the show, because forget the younger talent!...Goldberg
is set to come out of retirement…(he went into retirement, right? That was a loooong
3 weeks) to take on The Undertaker. In what is being billed as a dream match, the two
behemoths of the wrestling industry will do battle, and there can only be one winner.
Or can there?
According to betting sites, the two are actually neck and neck when it comes to deciding a
winner. Considering both competitors have a certain aura surrounding them, is it too
crazy to think WWE wouldn’t want either man to lose? How about a double knockout,
or a double countout? It would be anticlimactic, and a terrible decision, but that’s exactly
why WWE might do it.
Now sorry to be a super mark here, but I am unapologetically the biggest Triple H fan
you'll ever meet. He's my hero! I along with many other, think that Triple H Will Win.
But I have to stop and remind myself that this isn't 2003. So if I'm being realistic
Triple H winning makes ZERO sense. It's like...Oh look, another match between two young soon-to-be-breakout
stars in Triple H and Randy Orton. Fantastic. Considering the two were former stable mates
in Evolution and have had countless wars back and forth, I’m sure they have a great story
heading into this match. Oh wait, the story is completely non-existent. Great. Can't we
just have Triple H wear denim and leather and denim and leather together again? He was
so much cooler back then. 2019 Triple H makes me sad.
Plus! Considering Triple H just knocked off another former Evolution stable mate in Batista
at WrestleMania 35, and Randy Orton has most recently failed to win the Money in the Bank
briefcase, or take any bumps at all in that match, it would seem likely that The Cerebral
Assassin would be the one to pick up a win over The Viper. And that’s exactly what
betting sites are reporting right now, with Triple H a strong favourite to win the match.
Another theory! Seth Rollins Will Win Seth Rollins will be defending his Universal
Championship against Baron Corbin at Super Showdown, and considering Rollins’ feud
has been more with Brock Lesnar than it has Baron Corbin, the chances of Corbin taking
the belt away from Rollins would be minimal.
That’s exactly what betting sites are reporting as well, with Rollins far and away the favourite
to retain his championship. Don’t worry though, I’m sure Corbin will get his rematch
at Extreme Rules, or Stomping Grounds, or whatever the hell the next pay-per-view is,
I don’t know. Great Balls of Fire? In Someone's house? Bash at the Beach? I'm too old for
this stuff. Can't we just settle this on Sunday Night Heat and be done with it? DAYUM!
And yet another theory: Kofi Kingston Will Win
In a remarkably similar story, Kofi Kingston will be defending his WWE Championship against
a surprise opponent who nobody expects to win, that being Dolph Ziggler. It’s honestly
pretty crazy that the two of them for about three years were exclusively feuding over
the Intercontinental and United States Championships, and now they’re battling over the WWE Championship.
But, in unsurprising news, considering this show was thrown together with absolutely no
story or relevant consequences to speak of, Kofi Kingston is the strong favourite to retain
his championship over Dolph Ziggler. It would be very anticlimactic for Kingston to beat
Daniel Bryan and retain over Kevin Owens, only to lose to a returning Dolph Ziggler
who has no momentum. Having said that, that doesn’t mean Kingston or Rollins will be
walking out with their championships.
And a final prediction slash question: Will Brock Lesnar Cash In?
When the Saudi Arabia show was first announced by WWE, three names were confirmed to be at
the show. Goldberg, Undertaker, and Brock Lesnar. Goldberg and Undertaker are facing
off in a match together, which leaves Brock Lesnar without a match and with a Money in
the Bank briefcase. If we put two and two together, Brock could very well be appearing
to cash in the briefcase on Rollins or Kingston.
If ever there was a time to not get as much backlash from the live crowd, it would be
in Saudi Arabia. Brock won the Universal Championship at Crown Jewel last year, so it’s really
not that unlikely that he could win another at Super Showdown. While of course cards are
subject to change, it would be very unlike WWE to advertise a Brock Lesnar appearance
and not follow through with it, especially in Saudi Arabia when they like to throw literally
all the money at their wrestlers that can go.
