5 Australian WWE Performers that should be given a chance at the WWE Super Show-Down

*Warning: There are some spoilers from the NXT UK Tapings in this article.*

The WWE Super Showdown will take place on October 6, 2018, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground Arena in Melbourne, Australia. With matches such as The Shield vs Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre, and Dolph Ziggler, and Triple H vs The Undertaker announced, it is already set to be a huge show.

However, it is imperative that WWE's Australian wrestlers get an opportunity to showcase themselves in their hometowns. Many of WWE's currently signed wrestlers from Australia are talented workers that deserve the chance to wow their hometown. These 5 Australian wrestlers/teams deserve the chance to wow their hometown.

#5. Buddy Murphy

Buddy Murphy will be getting a Cruiserweight Title opportunity in his hometown.

Buddy Murphy vs Cedric Alexander for the Cruiserweight Championship has already been announced for the WWE Super Showdown. It is nice that Buddy Murphy will be given the opportunity to shine in front of his hometown. However, it is unlikely that Buddy Murphy will win this matchup. Cedric Alexander and Drew Gulak are in the middle of a rivalry so it is unlikely that Buddy Murphy will win a match that is only happening because of the fact that Buddy Murphy is from Australia.

However, these 2 can have a show-stealing match that properly showcases just how talented Buddy Murphy is. Cedric Alexander and Buddy Murphy had a match on 205 Live earlier this year was an amazing bout that benefited both superstars.

If Buddy Murphy and Cedric Alexander have a match that is just as good or possibly better than their last match, it will get 205 Live some much-deserved hype and will help make both men bigger superstars.

#4. The Mighty

The Mighty are one of the best teams on the NXT roster right now.

The Mighty are arguably NXT's 3rd best team (only behind the War Raiders and Undisputed Era) now that Moustache Mountain will be going to NXT UK. They are also WWE's only male Australian tag team.

Given how popular the tag team was last time NXT toured Australia, it would make sense for WWE to give them an opportunity to compete in front of their home crowd. While current Raw Tag Team Champions Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre already have a match at Super Showdown, current Smackdown Live Tag Team Champions The New Day do not.

It would be best for Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods to represent the New Day so that the match can have a quicker pace. Given the fact that The Mighty are a heel tag team, the story of the match can be that The Mighty are cocky newcomers that think that the New Day is no more than a joke.

The New Day can be the seasoned tag team that puts them in their place. Even though the crowd will probably cheer The Mighty on, there is no reason that this match can't work. Not only would the New Day get a successful title defence against a team that is not on Smackdown Live, but The Mighty will also have momentum when they return to NXT because they took the New Day to the limit. This will also be a great match due to the talent involved.

#3. Rhea Ripley

Rhea Ripley is the inaugural NXT UK Women's Champion.

Because Rhea Ripley is from Australia, it is the perfect opportunity for WWE to showcase the NXT UK Women's Division before Evolution. In fact, this is a perfect opportunity to showcase the NXT UK Division as a whole. Rhea Ripley is a talented individual that WWE clearly wants to push given the fact that she is competing in the 1st and 2nd Mae Young Classic and was chosen over the likes of Toni Storm and Jinny as the inaugural NXT UK Women's Champion.

The best way to showcase Rhea Ripley is to let her face Natalya for the NXT UK Women's Champion at the Super Showdown. Natalya is a big name and if Rhea Ripley defeats her in her first title defence, Rhea Ripley will look like an even bigger star.

She can return to NXT UK and say that she has beaten a former women's champion. Rhea Ripley will also be able to have a great match in front of her hometown. This can help people be more invested in the NXT UK division and Rhea Ripley, while Natalya will continue to be respected by the fans for putting over the next generation of superstars.

#2. The IIconics

Peyton Royce has taken current Smackdown Live Women's Champion Charlotte Flair to the limit.

The IIconics have not had the smoothest run on the main roster. Up until last month, The IIconcis had only won one match. However, WWE seems to be building the IIconics up for something as they both have acquired singles victories over former women's champion Naomi.

The best way to give the IIconics an opportunity is to have Charlotte Flair face Peyton Royce and Becky Lynch in a triple threat match for the Smackdown Women's Championship. The match between Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch at Hell in a Cell will likely end in a disqualification.

Becky will then get another opportunity at the Super Show-Down but it will be a triple threat match with Peyton Royce involved. Billie Kay will be in Peyton Royce's corner because their time on NXT shows that Peyton Royce is a better worker than Billie Kay.

Therefore, it should be Peyton Royce that gets the opportunity. This will be a great match because Becky Lynch will get another opportunity at the Smackdown Women's Title and can lose without being pinned or submitted.

Peyton Royce also has the chance to wrestle the match of her career in her hometown and keep herself in the title picture after the Super Show-Down.

This will be great for all 3 women involved as Becky Lynch can win the Smackdown Women's Title from Charlotte at Evolution and Peyton Royce can gain more momentum for the IIconics before they hopefully become inaugural Women Tag Team Champions.

#1. Toni Storm

Although she was born in New Zealand, Toni Storm spent her childhood in Australia.

Toni Storm is by far the most popular performer on this list. Although she is only 22 years old, Toni Storm is an excellent in-ring worker and competed in both Mae Young Classics. Since she will be a critical part of the NXT UK Women's Division, it makes sense for WWE to showcase Storm in front of her hometown as she is NXT UK Women's Division biggest face.

It would be best for Toni Storm to face Alexa Bliss in a singles match at the Super Showdown. This match will hopefully be a great match. Toni Storm has the opportunity to defeat Alexa Bliss and return to NXT UK and say that she beat a former 5-time women's champion.

This will give Toni Storm a lot of momentum so that she can challenge Rhea Ripley for the NXT UK Women's Championship. This match will benefit the NXT UK Women's Division as a whole.
