Fantasy Booking: How Triple H Could Have Booked WWE Super Show-Down

In what was a pretty disappointing event, WWE Super Show-Down maintained its promise to be nothing more than a glorified house show.

With all that happened at the event, the company will seem to continue expanding their market in more international territories in the future.

Since Monday Night Raw is suffering an unfortunate crisis at the moment with ratings reaching an all-time low on a weekly basis, many have started questioning Vince McMahon's managerial skills.

The Shield's constant push on the flagship show has diminished the entire credibility of the show, with Roman Reigns booked more strongly than his brothers.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

While the company can carry this ideology forward, Triple H's inclusion in the creative decisions could have coerced the entire staff to book something spectacular.

Considering that the show was basically promoted to expand their reach in international markets, the Game could have taken this situation as an opportunity to showcase the most anticipated match-card of the year.

With storytelling being the more logical parameter to book a show, Hunter's creativity could have filled the entire Melbourne Cricket Ground with sheer excitement and electricity.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep into our imaginary world and predict how Triple H would have booked the Australian extravaganza.

#1 The Authors of Pain (C) Vs. Bobby Roode and Bobby Lashley for the Raw Tag-Team Championships

Judging by how the tag-team division on Monday Night Raw has been booked, bringing some much-needed star power could shift things around for the better.

Booking the Authors of Pain to enter Australia as the dominant champions would have brought more support and adulation for Bobby Roode and Bobby Lashley who would certainly work as babyfaces in this bout.

Considering that Triple H always books feud well in advance, teasing a little misunderstanding between Roode and Lashley could be beneficial in keeping the fans hooked to the tag-team division.

With this match genuinely displaying the enormous talent on Raw, AOP defending the title successfully would provide room for more miscommunications between Roode and Lashley further down the line.

Prediction: Authors of Pain retain the Raw Tag-Team Championships due to miscommunication between Roode and Lashley

#2 SAnitY (C) Vs. The Revival Vs. The New Day for the SmackDown Live Tag-Team Championships

Since the Game has always maintained his respect for old-school tag-team wrestling, booking this encounter for such a platform should be a no-brainer.

All these teams have established themselves as one of the most talented factions in the entire world and coercing them to clash at WWE Super Show Down would bring more attention to the blue brand.

Judging by how SAnitY has been booked on the main roster, Triple H's creative intervention would have led to this match almost stealing the entire show and putting the blue brand on the map.

Keeping Survivor Series implications in mind, the Game would have certainly pitted for SAnitY to retain here in order to clash with the Authors of Pain to reignite feud for brand supremacy.

Prediction: SAnitY pins the New Day to retain despite a strong showing from the Revival

#3 10-Man Battle Royal for the Cruiserweight Championship

They say - 'the more risky, the more special.' Triple H's creative interruption in 205 Live's management has certainly ascended the brand to a whole new level.

With Buddy Murphy returning to Australia as a hometown hero, the Game could have gone the extra mile and booked a fantastic 10-man Battle Royal to decide the winner.

Considering that the stakes are so high, this would have genuinely provided the Cruiserweight Division to showcase what they can literally achieve.

More than 70,000 people watching, the in-ring technicality could have electrified the audience and given the performers the platform they rightfully deserve.

Imagining Buddy Murphy and Mustafa Ali ending as the last two contenders, both the performers could have delivered a classic before the former gets the win.

Prediction: Buddy Murphy wins the Cruiserweight Championship

#4 Becky Lynch (C) Vs. Asuka Vs. Charlotte Vs. Naomi for the SmackDown Live Women's Championship

There's no denying that Becky Lynch's feud with Charlotte has ascended the women's division on the top of SmackDown Live.

The Relentless Becky has garnered much adulation due to her anti-heroic mannerisms lately and is continuing to cement her legacy as an all-time great on the blue brand.

However, pushing someone at the top should not come at the expense of neglecting others. Asuka's push on the main roster has been pathetic beyond belief and could have certainly changed under the Game's wing.

Booking a fatal-four bout for the Australian extravaganza could have provided for a pretty impressive outing for the talented competitors, with Lynch managing to overcome the odds.

Prediction: Becky Lynch retains after pinning Naomi

#5 Ronda Rousey (C) Vs. Ember Moon for the Raw Women's Championship

Ronda Rousey's meteoric rise in the world of professional wrestling is beyond commendable. The Rowdy One is a tough act to follow when performing between the ropes but the company has failed to provide her with some brilliant opponents.

With Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax, Alicia Fox, and Ruby Riott, the fans have certainly felt the lack of creativity that has been showcased in the women's division on Monday Night Raw.

Considering that the Game brings someone fresh to the mix, this could definitely revive the fans' interest and bring much-needed rejuvenation to the division as a whole.

Enter Ember Moon. Despite enjoying tremendous success in NXT, Ember Moon has not been effectively booked on WWE's flagship show.

Keeping in mind the audience that will be watching, booking a classic between Ember Moon and Ronda Rousey could be an ideal way to invoke anticipation among the fans.

Concluding the bout with the former NXT Champion tapping out to the Rowdy One, taking her to the limits would certainly make the fans care about Ember Moon.

Prediction: Ronda Rousey retains despite a tough showing by Ember Moon

#6 John Cena Vs. Drew Mcintyre in a No Holds Barred Match

We all know that John Cena's in-ring career is nothing short of limited now. The 16-time World Champion carries a worldwide reputation of being the last of his kind.

Therefore, extracting his services to push another wrestling sensation would certainly benefit the company in the longer run. Enter Drew Mcintyre.

The Scottish Terminator has brought absolute chaos to Monday Night Raw and looks set for a Universal Championship run. However, many believe that he needs to step up and win a marquee encounter before establishing himself as a force to reckon with.

Challenging the Cenation Leader to return from his part-time schedule and square odd against him at WWE Super Show-Down would make for some meaningful television.

Defeating Big Match John in a No Holds Barred Match would definitely provide some edge to the bout, with the Scottish Sensation eventually destroying Cena for good.

Prediction: Drew Mcintyre defeats John Cena and vows to become the next Universal Champion

#7 Bray Wyatt (C) Vs. Kevin Owens for the Intercontinental Championship

Providing the fans with something rejuvenating and fresh always helps in advancing narratives to the next level. Enter Kevin Owens Vs. Bray Wyatt.

Both competitors have never squared off against each other in singles competition in any capacity, and considering that they both carry similar stature, booking an electric feud between the two would be great.

Involving the Intercontinental Championship in the mix would provide legitimate attention to these two superstars and make the fans care about them.

Since Owens and Wyatt are both credible heels, booking a surprising finish could certainly help the fans in investing in both characters for a longer run.

Prediction: Wyatt uses his mind games and introduces Nikki Cross as Sister Abigail to retain the Intercontinental Championship when Owens came so close to pinning him

#8 Shinsuke Nakamura (C) Vs. Daniel Bryan for the United States Championship with Miz as the Special Guest Referee

There's no denying that booking an event of such stature demand matches of such magnitude. Triple H's ideology of telling quality storytelling through terrific in-ring action is admired by everyone.

Booking a dream encounter between Shinsuke Nakamura and Daniel Bryan would be admirable enough to entice massive anticipation from the hardcore audience.

However, Miz's inclusion as the guest referee would certainly provide some incredible layer to the bout and would prove to be beneficial in booking future stories.

Since the A-Lister carries so much history with the Underdog, screwing in some unreasonable fashion could gravitate more heat towards him in the longer run.

Prediction: Nakamura pins Bryan after Miz beats down the latter. Nakamura's celebration ends as soon as Andrade 'Cien' Almas enters the ring and confronts him.

#9 Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose Vs. Triple H and Shawn Michaels in an Elimination Tag-Team Match

Since we occasionally see the biggest legends of the industry competing on such platforms, facing a younger opponent and giving them the rub would prove incredibly beneficial for the entire company.

Therefore, clashing the team of Rollins and Ambrose with a heel Triple H and Shawn Michaels could be best for business.

The Game played an influential role in turning Seth Rollins heel and imploding the Shield but the tables have turned, and the tables have turned for good.

Judging by how agile and great Ambrose looks, the Game certainly believes in him as the next big thing and coerces him to embrace the lunatic in him and join the Authority.

Imagining Rollins and HBK working together in what could be a classic. The bout ends with a shocking heel turn from the Lunatic Fringe by hitting Rollins with chair shots and joining hands with the Cerebral Assassin.

Prediction: Triple H pins Seth Rollins after Ambrose turns heel and becomes the Authority's next Golden Boy

#10 The Undertaker Vs. Finn Balor in a Buried Alive Match

A match of this caliber certainly delivers a blockbuster showdown and judging by how much potential Triple H sees in Finn Balor, he would have instantly booked this classic.

Both the superstars could compliment each other brilliantly between the ropes and carry a tremendous bout where interactions would matter more than the in-ring ability.

There's no denying that fans love scary characters and booking them in such fashion that makes it intriguing and special for the audience could be memorable for the entire company.

The Phenom has already passed the torch to Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, and while Bray Wyatt deserved the spot as well, defeating Finn Balor and burying him alive could coerce the inner demon within Balor to come out for a rematch at WrestleMania.

A storyline of such stature deserves consequences and burying Balor alive would definitely bring more anticipation and intrigue to his character.

Prediction: The Undertaker buries Finn Balor alive.

#11 AJ Styles (C) Vs. Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship

While this bout did happen at Super Show-Down, the outcome of the encounter left many fans disappointed and dejected with WWE's treatment of Samoa Joe.

The Destroyer has always emerged as an intimidating individual that thrives on destroying his opponents and winning prizes. Joe's main roster run has been promising yet depressing.

There's no denying that the Samoan deserved to walk out of Australia with the most coveted prize in the history of this company. However, it didn't happen due to reasons unknown.

Considering that the Game is such a huge admirer of Joe, booking a different outcome for this match would have ascended Samoa Joe to the top of the WWE.

Prediction: Samoa Joe wins the WWE Championship clean. Randy Orton attacks AJ Styles post-match and announces the Phenomenal One as his next victim.

#12 Roman Reigns (C) Vs. Goldberg for the Universal Championship

Roman Reigns' feud with Goldberg could be one of the most captivating feuds involving the Big Dog. Both the superstars can tell a brilliant story between the ropes and could certainly shine on every department. In this scenario, Strowman hasn't wasted his MITB contract yet.

Considering that Triple H would book the encounter with some logical narrative, ending the night with a shocking outcome could eventually ascend the event as a whole and led the fans to speak about them.

With Goldberg already wanting a dream encounter with the Big Dog, an event of such stature could prove beneficial in booking such a match with an unpredictable finish.

There's no denying that the Big Dog isn't the most appreciated guy on the main roster and continues to be a polarizing figure on Monday Night Raw.

Therefore, ending this bout without a conclusion and inviting Braun Strowman's inclusion to cash-in his MITB contract to end the night on a high would be brilliant.

Prediction: Braun Strowman cashes-in his MITB contract and wins the Universal Championship
