WWE Super ShowDown is set to take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on June 6th and while the pay per view will once again come with its fair share of controversy, the company has more than made up for that with a stacked card for the event. In fact, between Goldberg versus Undertaker for the first time and Dolph Ziggler versus Kofi Kingston, this event could rival WrestleMania 35.

Whether that actually ends up happening or not remains to be seen and will depend on how WWE executes its game plan during this pay per view, but if Money in the Bank was any indicator, the company is sure to be firing on all cylinders. Furthermore, the competition they now face with AEW coming into relevance will only light more of a fire under them.

With that being said and the pay per view only two weeks away, here are five things WWE must avoid doing at Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to let us know what you think WWE should do at the upcoming pay per view.

#5 Have Andrade win The Intercontinental title

As much as it would hurt to watch Finn Balor lose The Intercontinental Championship at Super ShowDown, it would allow for WWE to finally establish Andrade as a mid-card star and set him up for great things in the future. It also finally gives the title the relevance it needs right now to sustain interest in the mid-card and could result in a great series of matches between Balor and Andrade.

In the end, Balor probably needs to ditch the mid-card title scene anyway and try to work his way up into the main title picture. Maybe even turn heel and be Kofi Kingston's next challenger for The WWE title. At least this way, Andrade can get the big win he has deserved for some time and Balor gets freed up to chase other opportunities.

#4 Keep Undertaker versus Goldberg short

Let's be honest here.

While this a dream match of epic proportions and will serve as another once in a lifetime event in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it is also should be short sweet and to the point. Not only will that allow both men to stick to their strengths, but it also diminishes the chances of either veteran superstar getting hurt.

Of course, that's probably not The answer The WWE Universe wants, especially with this being a once in a lifetime match, but if this contest goes over three minutes, it risks exposing Undertaker's lack of speed and Goldberg's lack of endurance. If nothing else, something short, sweet and to the point will give WWE the impact they need from this match and help make a truly memorable moment.

In the end, it's interesting that WWE is going with another dream match and could set a precedent for doing so again in the future. Maybe not the Sting versus Undertaker match that WWE fans wanted, but there are definitely some other interesting options out there that WWE should take advantage of.

#3 Avoid controversial finishes

Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, WWE had a lot of controversial finishes during last year's pay per view in Saudi Arabia, and the company would be very wise to avoid repeating that trend this time around. Either that or risk losing fan interest during what is supposed to be a big pay per view for the company.

In all honesty, WWE has some lofty standards to live up to after the conclusion of AEW's Double or Nothing and really need to avoid leaving anything open-ended at the upcoming pay per view. Then again, maybe WWE could get away with one or two dirty finishes to keep a few feuds going, but if it becomes a theme, fans are going to complain.

WWE can't risk giving fans something to complain about right now and that's why they need to do everything they can to make sure that the entire pay per view is entertaining. Interestingly enough, WWE did deliver in a major way at Money in The Bank earlier this month, which could set the stage for them doing so again at Super ShowDown.

#2 Keep Reigns versus Shane McMahon open-ended

Although WWE is going to want to avoid open-ended finishes throughout much of the pay per view, one of the storylines they can't afford to bring to a conclusion yet is the one between Roman Reigns and Shane McMahon. Not only would doing so pretty much result in Reigns being catapulted to the title picture too early, but it also risks losing some of the momentum WWE has going with this feud.

While Reigns versus McMahon isn't the biggest thing on the card right now, it is something that is entertaining to watch. In fact, between Reigns repeatedly finding ways to outsmart the Billionaire's son and McMahon continuously finding new henchmen, this feud could go on for another month or so.

Again, it all depends on what WWE wants to do here, but pushing Reigns back into the title picture too early could have disastrous effects for the company. That's not to say it can't happen eventually and shouldn't happen when the right time comes, but for right now, he's much better off railing against the authority.

#1 Have Brock Lesnar cash in

Of all the things WWE needs to do in two weeks at Super ShowDown, the priority should be to get the briefcase of boombox Brock Lesnar. Not only would the moment serve as a show of good faith to The WWE Universe, but it also eliminates Lesnar from the title picture for the foreseeable future.

Ad

At least this way, WWE admits that Brock Lesnar getting the briefcase was a mistake, Rollins can thwart his cash in and look stronger than ever before. Either that, or WWE can go back their old playbook of having Lesnar win and hold the title hostage for months, but they do so at the risk of alienating their audience.

In the end, their best option is to have him cash in on Rollins or Kingston and have the attempt thwarted by the other champion. Or maybe even Triple H could thwart the cash in and start a feud with Vince McMahon over control of the company. All WWE has to do is get the briefcase of Brock, and it's all smooth sailing from there.
