WWE Raw Preview and Predictions: Ronda Rousey vs. Ruby Riott

Heartbreak for the Kid

One of the biggest stories heading into Super Show-Down is obviously the final encounter (and this time, we mean it!) between Triple H and The Undertaker. After Shawn Michaels announced he would be in the corner of The Game for the epic clash, Taker countered by bringing in his brother Kane to do the same.

This week on WWE Raw, Michaels will be live from Seattle to once again hype the marquee match. It’ll be HBK’s first appearance since he was practically goaded into another match by the Dead Man, and first since Taker decided to bring Kane along on the trip Down Under.

With rumors swirling about Michaels coming out of retirement after eight years for some kind of match, likely at Crown Jewel in a month, we’re going to need more than Taker saying “YOU’RE TOO SCARED TO FACE ME AGAIN” to build to the match. While I’d anticipate most of the action leading to HBK’s second comeback match to happen at Super Show-Down, there’s definitely a chance he’ll take a shot tonight to whet everyone’s appetite for Saturday.

Picture this: Triple H and Michaels come to the ring together, just like the good ol’ days. Maybe while Michaels is talking about Super Show-Down, Kane launches a sneak attack on The Showstopper. With HBK laid out, the odds of him getting physical on Saturday — and beyond — increase exponentially.

Of course, this supposes Kane has some time off from his mayoral duties beyond the weekend’s trip to Australia, which isn’t a given. But hey, it’s fun to dream, right?
