Super Showdown from Saudi Arabia took place in a strange place in the WWE calendar this year since it was before WrestleMania, rather than after it. But it was the place where The Undertaker was able to set up a match with AJ Styles.
The Phenomenal One was on course to win the Tuwaiq Trophy after Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows swept aside the competition for him, but The Deadman showed up backstage before making his way to the ring to take out Styles himself.

The Deadman delivered a Chokeslam to the former WWE Champion but as he did it was clear that either Styles didn't jump or The Deadman wasn't prepared for the weight of AJ Styles when he had to lift him and deliver the familiar slam.
What proceeded was one of the worst moves of the year when the bump didn't go to plan. Luckily, this was all forgiven when the two men were able to steal WrestleMania by putting on the first-ever Boneyard match, which was outstanding.
