WWE has expanded its business to each and every corner of the world as the billion-dollar company continues to be the ace runners in the world of sports entertainment.

Ardent supporters of the company are spread all around the globe and the WWE Universe keeps growing on and on. There are many organizations who crave to be at WWE's level but the fact is that Vince McMahon's vision has brought the company to the pinnacle where its position is pretty much safe.

Talking about WWE fans around the globe, there is one nation which is home to a massive number of WWE enthusiasts - yes, Saudi Arabia.

The Middle Eastern nation hosted two major PPVs in 2018 - The Greatest Royal Rumble and Crown Jewel. Both events were a hit as the arena got packed with avid fans as they walked in to witness the WWE Superstars take center stage.

The reception was tremendous and might be the reason why Vince McMahon is set to bring his unit back in 2019 as well. WWE has already started advertising their Saudi Arabia event and we anticipate what the card may look like this time around.

Last year saw many big names feature as we got to see the return of Shawn Michaels, who teamed up with Triple H to take on the Brothers of Destruction - Kane and The Undertaker.

Out of those 4 men, there is one certain superstar who will most probably feature - the COO, Triple H.

The Game got the better of Batista at WrestleMania 35 as the two locked horns in a No Holds Barred match which had Triple H's career on the line.

Triple H is a major attraction in any part of the world and Saudi fans will undoubtedly be waiting to see the Game in action.

Here we present 3 possible opponents for Triple H at the Saudi Arabia Event.


#3 Brock Lesnar

The Beast goes way back with the Game, as the two indulged in a scintillating rivalry back in 2013. It won’t be wrong to say that their feud was utterly personal, as they battled on numerous PPVs.

Triple H fans will never forget how the Beast broke their hero’s arm twice, how he dismantled Vince McMahon, and above all, the way he broke the arm of Triple H’s best friend - Shawn Michaels.

The Beast was a whisker away from ending Hunter’s career at WrestleMania 29, as the Game gathered all the strength in the world to defeat Brock Lesnar at the Grandest Stage of them all.

Fast-forward to 2019, this past week saw Triple H indulge in a segment with Rollins which saw the Cerebral Assassin take shots at the Beast as he hyped Rollins’ monumental victory over Lesnar at WrestleMania 35.

The Beast is not returning anytime soon, but considering how massive the Saudia Arabia event is supposed to be, Vince McMahon will leave no stone unturned in order to get the Beast on board, simply because Lesnar is an attraction that fans worldwide love to see.

A Triple H vs Brock Lesnar feud will be fascinating, as it will rekindle their story, and give the fans a classic.

#2 Shane McMahon

Why this matchup hasn’t been set is beyond the word 'mystery'. Triple H and Shane McMahon have the ability to portray an awe-inspiring storyline simply because they have a lot to tell. Two men vying to be the commanding authority of the company, things don't get bigger than that.

This intriguing storyline has every ingredient to succeed, and it’s a real shame WWE Creative haven’t pushed it at this point! The fans in KSA adore these superstars, and it will be quite a captivating sight for them to see these two family members go up against each other.

Triple H vs Shane McMahon is a WrestleMania worthy bout, but keeping the magnitude of the Saudi Arabia event in mind, the company may push the button on this one. It'll be quite pulsating to watch the duo collide, and the tricky question is - who will Stephanie and Vince side with?

#1 Goldberg

Yes, Goldberg is scheduled to be in the ring at WWE's Saudi Arabia event. The Iconic superstar who is fondly remembered by WWE enthusiasts for his superhuman strength is a once in a lifetime athlete who captivated many back in his day.

Goldberg's time with the company has always turned out to be eventful, as he infamously left WWE back in 2003, only to return back in 2016 for his second stint with the company, thus ending a 13-year long hiatus.

Goldberg's second stint was pretty impressive, as he got the better of Brock Lesnar in a rather shocking manner at Survivor Series 2016. The former WCW Champion even became the Universal Champion by defeating Kevin Owens at Fastlane 2017.

Goldberg has enjoyed a stellar time with the company, feuding with the likes of Brock Lesnar, The Rock, and many more. But one man who had quite a rivalry with Goldberg was The Game.

Triple H and Goldberg were the top 2 stars on Raw back in the early part of the 21st century, and they brawled and battled on numerous occasions. Triple H and Goldberg never really hit the right chord though, as their in-ring chemistry was lacking, and there did seem some personal heat as well.

Goldberg has been quite vocal about Triple H, and it will be the perfect opportunity to pit The Game up against the iconic Goldberg in Saudi Arabia, as the duo will finally have some closure to their not-so-great rivalry.

Out of the box pick: A returning Dean Ambrose

In January 2019, Triple H was involved in an entertaining segment on Raw with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. The Lunatic Fringe had been feuding with his former tag team partner for quite some time and didn't really look impressed by Rollins’ monumental Royal Rumble victory.

Ambrose stepped on Triple H’s shoes as well, taking shots at The Game, who subsequently retaliated in his own style.

The two have rarely been on the same side, and back in 2016, the hard-hitting superstars faced each other for the WWE Championship. The Game came out victorious, as he retained the title after overcoming a valiant effort put up by the Lunatic Fringe.

Dean has parted ways with the company, but considering the magnitude of WWE’s event in Saudi Arabia, the board might figure a way out to bring Dean back, simply because the former Shield member enjoys a massive fan following.

A match against the King of Kings could lure Dean back to the company. The Lunatic Fringe up against the Cerebral Assassin has the makings of a thriller.
