WWE's Super Show-Down in Australia will feature 10 matches, and the results will have short-term ramifications for both Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Live. The show is this Saturday, Oct. 6. While most of the card seems predictable, there are some very intriguing matchups that even our group of wrestling marks had trouble picking winners for. We've done our best to correctly predict the winners of Super Show-Down (which means we'll get them completely wrong). If video is more your thing, you can watch the predictions over on our Facebook page. Here's every WWE Super Show-Down match with our team's picks. THE UNDERTAKER VS TRIPLE H For the last time ever, Undertaker will take on Triple H. Everyone seems to think the Undertaker will continue his dominance of Trips on Super Show-Down, but Phil seems to think having Shawn Michaels in his corner will get Triple H the victory. Bob - Taker Phil - Triple H Rocco - Taker CEDRIC ALEXANDER (c) VS BUDDY MURPHY - CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Cedric Alexander has had the Cruiserweight title since WrestleMania, and Bob doesn't see that changing with this show. However, Phil and Rocco believe the hometown boy, Buddy Murphy, is ready to get the strap. Bob - Cedric Phil - Buddy Rocco - Buddy THE NEW DAY (c) VS THE BAR - SMACKDOWN TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH This feud has just begun and we all can see it continuing after Super Show-Down, with New Day narrowly getting the victory to retain their Tag Team Championships. Bob - New Day Phil - New Day Rocco - New Day NAOMI & ASUKA VS THE IICONICS Another case of the hometown wrestlers picking up the win. We all feel it'll be a perfect moment for Peyton Royce and Billie Kaye (The IIconics) to get a much-needed victory in Australia. Bob - IIconics Phil - IIconics Rocco - IIconics BOBBY LASHLEY & JOHN CENA VS KEVIN OWENS & ELIAS Probably the easiest match to predict: it's hard to see how John Cena loses his first match back since WrestleMania. Elias and Kevin Owens are almost "loss-proof" meaning they can handle a defeat. Bob - Cena/Lashley Phil - Cena/Lashley Rocco - Cena/Lashley DANIEL BRYAN VS THE MIZ - WWE #1 CONTENDERS MATCH It was tough to choose a winner here, as either wrestler could come out on top and become the new number one contender for AJ Style's WWE Championship. Bob feels its Daniel Bryan's time, while Rocco and Phil believe the story of Miz getting over on Bryan using heel tactics will continue. Bob - Daniel Bryan Phil - Miz Rocco - Miz AJ STYLES (c) VS SAMOA JOE - WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH/NO DQ AJ Styles has had an impressive run as WWE Champion, and Bob and Phil feel it will continue. With WWE 2K19 coming out next week with AJ as the cover star, it's easy to see Styles going over. Rocco, however, feels Samoa Joe needs the victory and will pick up the belt here. Bob - AJ Phil - AJ Rocco - Joe CHARLOTTE VS BECKY LYNCH (c) - SMACKDOWN WOMENS TITLE MATCH Becky Lynch won the SmackDown Women's title less than a month ago, so none of the crew believe she's losing it to Charlotte in Australia. Whether Becky get herself disqualified or the two have a double countout, Lynch will walk out still the champ. Bob - Becky Phil - Becky Rocco - Becky RONDA ROUSEY & THE BELLA TWINS VS THE RIOTT SQUAD Rocco believes The Riott Squad are prime to defeat Ronda Rousey and The Bella Twins in their six-woman tag match. Bob and Phil think he's crazy. Bob - Rousey/Bellas Phil - Rousey/Bellas Rocco - Riott Squad THE SHIELD VS THE DOGS OF WAR The main story of Monday Night RAW has been whether or not Dean Ambrose will turn on his Shield brethren. Bob and Phil don't believe it'll happen in Australia, but Rocco seems to think the Dogs of War will somehow get the upper hand. Bob - Shield Phil - Shield Rocco - Dogs of War<doc-sep>1 of 5 Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz Q: Both of these Superstars are deserving of a WWE title shot. Which one would you rather see win at Super Show-Down and why? KB: Bryan will get his soon enough, but it's been far too long since The Miz got his chance at the top. His first and only WWE Championship reign was a disaster due to his lack of readiness for that spot. He has grown leaps and bounds since main-eventing WrestleMania 27. The first time it was clear that The A-Lister had taken the next step as a wrestler was his match with a newly signed Styles, and I would love to see what the two can do together now. It would be a fantastic contest and perhaps set up for The Miz to get well-deserved respect with a world title reign. The Bellas and Ronda Rousey vs. The Riott Squad Q: Which member of The Riott Squad do you think will win the women's title first and why? KB: The stable is named after Ruby Riott for a reason. She's the most complete star of the trio and clearly the most comfortable in the ring. While I do see good things coming in the future for Sarah Logan as well since she is finally getting comfortable, there's a big gap between the leader of the stable and her two friends. That was on full display in Riott's match against Rousey on Monday. In fact, it's almost a shock that she hasn't already won the women's title. Her work with Charlotte earlier in the year as well as with Bayley and Sasha after the move to Raw has proved she's one of the company's best all-around performers. Triple H vs. The Undertaker Q: On a scale of 1-10, how excited are you for this supposed final match between these two? Explain why. KB: I'll say a 2. I don't think the match will be a disaster, but I'm not interested in seeing any more of the modern iterations of HHH and Taker. The Deadman especially has been falling apart in the ring, so he needs to keep this short and sweet while Hunter stretches every match out an extra 10 minutes. I'd rather their last match was at WrestleMania 28.<doc-sep>THE biggest professional wrestling event in Australian history will take place this Saturday when WWE Super Show-Down lights up the MCG. With a crowd of around 70,000 set to pack out the Melbourne Cricket Ground, it will surpass 2002’s Global Warning Tour show at Marvel Stadium which saw over 56,000 people in attendance. Headlining the show is a blockbuster seen at three WrestleManias but now billed to be for the last time ever - Triple H versus The Undertaker. To add to the intrigue, Shawn Michaels will be in his long-time friend’s corner, while Kane will join the Deadman.

The WWE Super Show-Down is coming this Saturday 6 October. Source: Supplied WHICH MATCHES WILL THERE BE AT WWE SUPER SHOW-DOWN? Here is the full match card for WWE Super Show-Down. - The Undertaker (with Kane) vs. Triple H (with Shawn Michaels) - The Shield (Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins) vs. Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre - WWE Championship: AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe (No Count-Outs, No Disqualifications) - Ronda Rousey and The Bella Twins (Nikki and Brie) vs. The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan) - Smackdown Women’s Championship: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Charlotte Flair - John Cena and Bobby Lashley vs. Kevin Owens and Elias - Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz (Winner earns a future WWE Championship Match) - Smackdown Tag Team Championship: The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston and/or Xavier Woods) (c) vs. Cesaro and Sheamus - Asuka and Naomi vs The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) - WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Cedric Alexander (c) vs. Buddy Murphy FULL PREVIEW AND PREDICTIONS OF WWE SUPER SHOW-DOWN MATCHES The Undertaker (with Kane) vs. Triple H (with Shawn Michaels) A fascinating match between two WWE legends added another wrinkle when Kane and Shawn Michaels were announced to be in the corners of The Undertaker and Triple H, respectively. In a segment on Monday Night Raw last month, The Undertaker confronted Michaels, who he retired in 2010 via a WrestleMania match. The Heart Break Kid has not wrestled since, unlike most wrestlers for whom retirement is merely temporary. Yet respected wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer reported recently that Michaels will indeed be coming back to wrestle, potentially in a tag team match with Triple H against The Brothers of Destruction at the Saudi Arabia Crown Jewel show in November. The match in Melbourne could theoretically be used to set up the tag match. It would be surprising if The Undertaker was to lose a singles match to Triple H, having beaten him at three WrestleManias. Michaels’ involvement could cause it, but it seems more likely Undertaker will win at the MCG, and then Kane will take the pinfall in Saudi Arabia. Predicted winner: The Undertaker The Undertaker faces Triple H at WWE Super Show-Down. Source: Supplied The Shield (Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins) vs. Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre The intrigue here is whether Dean Ambrose will turn on his Shield brethren. Before his recent long-term injury, Ambrose was expected to turn against Seth Rollins to set up a WrestleMania match. With Reigns the arguable face of the WWE and Rollins having previously turned on The Shield, it would make sense for Ambrose to be the one to do so - because we know one of them eventually will. The question is whether now is the right time, given the trio only reunited after SummerSlam. Now feels too soon. Predicted winner: The Shield WWE Championship: AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe (No Count-Outs, No Disqualifications) Picking a winner in matches like this is dependent on how important you think this show is in the grand scheme of things. The Greatest Royal Rumble, for example, was a massive show back in Saudi Arabia in April. Yet that and shows like the Super Show-Down are in this middle ground where they’re bigger than regular touring shows, and certainly a lot bigger than the usual Australian tour shows, but not quite a major pay per view. At GRR, no championships changed hands - the vacant tag titles that ended up with Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy excepted. Then you’ve got the fact that this show starts at 5AM US east coast time. The US audience is still WWE’s biggest, so would it be strange to switch one of the top titles when not many fans are even awake to see it? Based on that, it makes sense for AJ to retain. It’d be great to be proven wrong and see a major title change in Melbourne though. Predicted winner: AJ Styles Ronda Rousey and The Bella Twins (Nikki and Brie) vs. The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan) Ronda Rousey returns to Melbourne for the first time since her UFC 193 loss to Holly Holm. Will we see another massive upset here? Well, potentially, because the key here is what this match is building towards. Quite clearly Rousey and the Bellas are bigger stars than the Riott Squad, but it has been reported that one of the main matches at the upcoming all-womens show Evolution will pit Rousey against Nikki Bella. If so, Nikki turning on the Raw Women’s Champion and causing the team to lose would make sense here. But that could also happen after the match is won, or indeed on an episode of Raw closer to Evolution, or indeed never and they just go into a match as friends. Just be aware it could happen. Predicted winner: Ronda Rousey and The Bella Twins<doc-sep>0 of 6 Credit: WWE.com Less than three weeks removed from Hell in a Cell comes WWE's latest special event entitled Super Show-Down 2018, emanating live from the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia this Saturday. Unlike Greatest Royal Rumble from earlier this year, WWE has done a commendable job of hyping the show in recent weeks and making each match feel meaningful. Some are certainly more important than others, but on the whole, the pay-per-view has promise and the potential to be thoroughly entertaining. The Undertaker vs. Triple H will headline the event in what is being billed as a "last time ever" encounter. The addition of Shawn Michaels and Kane to ringside for that bout all but guarantees it will be a spectacle and could possibly set the stage for another outing involving those four down the road. Elsewhere on the card, The Shield will have their hands full with the dastardly trio of Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre while the long-running rivalry between AJ Styles and Samoa Joe over the WWE Championship will culminate in a No Count-out, No Disqualification match. Additionally, Ronda Rousey, Daniel Bryan, The Bella Twins, The Miz, John Cena, Kevin Owens and other notable names being a part of the card will make this one of WWE's most star-studded lineups in recent memory. That combined with the electric atmosphere in Melbourne will surely help give Super Show-Down a WrestleMania-like vibe. In order for the show to be deemed a success from a storyline standpoint, the outcomes should not be as obvious as they seem. As the event draws closer, now is the time to offer to make bold predictions and attempt to anticipate what will happen in the night's biggest matches.<doc-sep>
October is a busy month for the WWE, and it begins in Australia with the Super Show-Down Live from the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Sydney this Saturday, Oct. 6. The Super Show-Down will feature title matches, returning WWE Superstars and a whole lot more. There are currently 10 confirmed matches with four title bouts that can shape the path of Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Live heading into Evolution, Crown Jewel and Survivor Series. Here is every match confirmed so far for WWE Super Show-Down. Note: This list is subject to change CEDRIC ALEXANDER (c) VS BUDDY MURPHY - CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE MATCH The Cruiserweight title is on the line as Cedric Alexander takes his six-month reign into battle against the hometown hero, Buddy Murphy. These two had a feud over the summer that ended with Alexander retaining his title, but will Murphy come out on top with the home field advantage? THE NEW DAY (c) VS THE BAR - SMACKDOWN TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH After The New Day dispatched Rusev Day at Hell in a Cell, The Bar were next in line to try to take the SmackDown Tag Team championships. This is the first title opportunity on SmackDown Live for The Bar, and they hope to put the hurting on The New Day. NAOMI & ASUKA VS THE IICONICS More hometown wrestlers get the spotlight at Super Show-Down as The IIconics take on Naomi and Asuka in tag-team action. Over the last few weeks, The IIconics took turns defeating Naomi, leading to Asuka coming in for the save and making a new friend in the process. Can the combined might of Peyton Royce and Billie Kaye take out a former champ and Asuka? BOBBY LASHLEY & JOHN CENA VS KEVIN OWENS & ELIAS John Cena is set to return to the WWE at Super Show-Down, teaming with Bobby Lashley against Kevin Owens and Elias. KO and Elias have tussled with Lashley and his manager Lio Rush over the last few weeks, but everyone will be waiting to see how Cena performs after being away from a WWE ring for so long. DANIEL BRYAN VS THE MIZ - WWE #1 CONTENDERS MATCH The match between Daniel Bryan and The Miz may have the biggest implications for SmackDown Live moving forward. These rivals have been at odds for years, and now it's time for the two to fight for a chance at the WWE Championship. The Miz has come out on top in recent weeks using "heelish" tactics, but can Bryan overcome the A-Lister and his growing desire to cut corners to win? AJ STYLES (c) VS SAMOA JOE - WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH/NO DQ Samoa Joe took his feud with WWE Champion AJ Styles to the next level, threatening the champ's family by visiting them while The Phenomenal One was on SmackDown. After a controversial finish at Hell in a Cell, SmackDown general manager Paige has made the title match between Styles and Joe a No DQ and No Countout contest, so there has to be a winner in Australia. CHARLOTTE VS BECKY LYNCH (c) - SMACKDOWN WOMENS TITLE MATCH Becky Lynch captured the SmackDown Women's Title from her former best friend Charlotte at Hell in a Cell, but the Irish Lass-kicker continues to have a mean streak as she lauds her victory over the rest of the women in the SmackDown locker room. Can Charlotte humble Becky and re-capture the title, or will Lynch continue to dominate the competition? RONDA ROUSEY & THE BELLA TWINS VS THE RIOTT SQUAD The Riott Squad has made Ronda Rousey and The Bella Twins' lives a living hell on Monday Night RAW, but the six women will all face off in a tag match in Australia. As the RAW Women's Champion, Ronda looks to put The Riott Squad in their place after they attacked her friend Natalya. THE SHIELD VS THE DOGS OF WAR The war between The Shield and The Dogs of War rages on, as the six top stars on RAW square off. The story here is whether Dean Ambrose will betray his Shield brethren after the Dogs of War brought up some great points about his time injured last week. While Ambrose continues to say he'll go into battle with the Shield no matter what, but will that end here? THE UNDERTAKER VS TRIPLE H The Undertaker and Triple H have had some memorable battles in the past, but their meeting at Super Show-Down will be their final encounter.
