WWE Super ShowDown 2019: 4 things that almost definitely aren't happening

Super ShowDown is this Friday, and while many have criticized the build-up (or lack thereof), there are still some things to look forward to this Friday. Andrade vs Finn Balor for the Intercontinental Championship promises to be decent at worst. Dolph Ziggler has seemingly come back from the dead to face Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship. If you like battle royals, then the 50-Man Battle Royal will be right up your alley.

Recently, the shows have felt like they are stuck in a rut. Nothing important seems to happen. The same people show up all the time. As a result, the shows feel a bit predictable, and with Super ShowDown being a Saudi PPV, it feels a bit more so.

It's almost easy to say what will and what won't happen, and we intend to do just that. Here are 4 things that almost definitely won't happen at Super ShowDown.

#4 The Undertaker vs Goldberg going for more than 10 minutes

Isn't this a really cool picture of The Undertaker?

At WWE Super ShowDown, Undertaker and Goldberg will collide in what definitely promises to be a match. These two men have never faced off one on one. It's a rare dream match in a company that seems to have exhausted every other dream match.

Despite Undertaker's reputation for having long, epic matches, don't expect this match to go longer than a typical Undertaker entrance. Since Goldberg's return back in 2016, the former Universal Champion has wrestled for around 10 minutes total.

Given the advanced ages of the competitors involved, I believe it would be best for everyone involved, from the competitors, the oil barons, to the little Saudi boys and girls in the audience, if this was a real sprint of a match.

Let both men play their greatest hits, do their signature poses, and then wrap up before they get too exhausted. Keep it short and sweet.

#3 Randy Orton vs Triple H going on for less than 15 minutes

The duo finally traded words on Raw

On the other hand, in this match, we have two spry and youthful competitors who are in the prime of life. Jokes aside, given both Orton's and Triple H's old-school and methodical wrestling styles, a 5 minute spotfest is probably not what these two are aiming for.

The Game has a tendency for having really long matches where he works the limb and whatnot, and I see no reason this match should be any different. The shortest match he's had in recent memory was 15 minutes long against John Cena at the Greatest Royal Rumble, so we're going to use that as a benchmark.

Orton is not so reliant on these long-winded matches, but given his opposition, it's almost inevitable that this match will be at least as long as a typical Triple H WrestleMania entrance.

This match will be technically sound and probably good, but you could probably buy some instant noodles from the store, cook them, and come back to the match before it ends.

#2 Dolph Ziggler winning the WWE Championship

It should've been Dolph

Dolph Ziggler seemingly came back from the dead to ambush Kofi Kingston and challenge him for the WWE Championship. The last time we saw Dolph, he was getting his brains kicked in by Drew McIntyre on Raw. 2018 was a banner year for Ziggler, as he teamed up with big ol' Drew and had a gazillion matches with Seth Rollins. He also won the Intercontinental and Raw Tag Team Championship.

Meanwhile, Kofi Kingston has had a really good 2019. He won the WWE Championship and defended it against top stars like AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens. That's a real impressive list.

While I most certainly wouldn't be against Ziggler winning the WWE Championship (so he can finally get that Grand Slam), I just don't see it happening. I'd bet on the Undertaker building up another 20 year WrestleMania streak before betting on the Show-Off.

Ziggler is a real talented guy, and he's proven that on more than one occasion. It's just hard to think that he will succeed where stars like Daniel Bryan and Kevin Owens have failed.

#1 Baron Corbin leaving as the Universal Champion

Raw's favorite son

I'm going to say something real unpopular: I'm a Baron Corbin fan. I was an avid watcher back in WWE Smackdown Live's golden era (Summerslam 2016 - WrestleMania 33), and I was rooting for Corbin. He's got a good moveset, and thanks to his stint as Raw General Manager, he's grown on the mic as well.

All that aside, I don't think our favorite bartender/occasional wrestler is winning the big red belt this Friday. If he does win, then don't expect him to leave Saudi Arabia with the title.

Seth Rollins won the Universal Championship after a whole lot of jabbering about how he was going to "restore the prestige of the title" and "be a fighting champion" and all that jazz. To say stuff like that and then lose the title after two months makes him look like, and pardon my language here, a real dumb-dumb.

And let's say that Corbin wins here. Maybe he kicks Rollins in the gonads and hits the End of Days to win in 3 minutes. Brock Lesnar is waiting, and he'd be more than willing to cash in on Corbin, who in kayfabe, is not on Rollins' level.

Corbin is leaving Saudi Arabia empty-handed.
