Like I said before, TG, it's only foreshadowing if you really force yourself to believe it is - most of the time it could really have meant anything. Talking about Carbide retiring could still have meant it had won because, well, what a way to retire as the double champion. And funnily enough, the "caricature" does indirectly reference Aftershock...which the pre-battle dialogue seemed to hint would re-fight Eruption.

The only blatant foreshadowing I saw was the "Next Time" montage at the end of each episode...and even then, lets be honest, what happened with Series 6 was much, MUCH worse.
