WWE Show-Down super?

WWE presents Super Show-Down Saturday night on the WWE Network, and the card is nothing short of loaded.

The most heavily hyped match on the show is the bout between The Undertaker and Triple H.

Billed as being “The Last Match Ever” in terms of a one-on-one match, Kane will be in TakerĢƵ corner and Shawn Michaels will be in Triple HĢƵ.

Regardless out of the outcome in this bout, look for a tag match between the four.

Taker and Michaels are said to do another singles match, but while word is that it would take place at WrestleMania, it could take part as early as the Survivor Series.

Both Michaels and Taker will be on Raw Monday.

AJ Styles is defending the WWE title against Samoa Joe and while Universal champion Roman Reigns teams with his Shield brethren to take on Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler.

Will Ambrose turn on his brothers?

Becky Lynch will defend her newly-won Smackdown womenĢƵ title match against the former champion, Charlotte Flair.

Cedric Alexander will defend the cruiserweight title against Buddy Murphy and The New Day defends the Smackdown tag titles against Sheamus and Cesaro.

John Cena wrestles for the first time since losing to Taker at Mania when he teams with Bobby Lashley to face Elias and Kevin Owens.

Daniel Bryan faces The Miz while Ronda Rousey teams with The Bella Twins to take on The Riot Squad.

Could the rumored Evolution Raw title match between Rousey and Niki Bella see its build start here?

Also, Asuka and Naomi face the Ilconics.

The stacked card will air on the WWE Network.

Batista back to WWE

Batista will return to WWE for the first time in over four years at Smackdown 1000 on Oct. 16.

The former World champion has spent several years in Hollywood making several movies.

WWE stock soars

The stock for WWE closed earlier this week at $93.96 a share.

Kingston sets record

On Wednesday, Kofi Kingston set the all-time WWE record for longest running tag champion in the promotionĢƵ long history.

By reaching his 954 day as a tag champion, Kingston passed Billy Gunn for the longest combined days as a tag champ.

On this date:

In 1989, WWE ran two house shows.

The first took place in Madison Square Garden and was headlined by Andre the Giant taking on The Ultimate Warrior.

The event drew a sellout crowd of over 20,000 fans.

The second show, which was main-evented by a WWE championship match between Hulk Hogan and Randy “Macho Man” Savage, only drew 9,000 fans.

This weekĢƵ question:

Will any titles change hands on the WWEĢƵ Super Show-Down in Australia? Steve, Herminie.

I would not be surprised to see it happen.

Reigns will retain the Universal title, and while secondary titles could switch, I would not be surprised to see Joe defeated Styles for the WWE crown.
