WWE usually holds these Saudi Megaevents after the Show of Shows. but this time around it takes place at a very crucial time, with only a month left to go for WrestleMania 36 and hence the PPV will surely have an impact on the final card of it.

The match card for Super ShowDown 2020 consists of some very unique and first-time matches like Brock Lesnar vs Ricochet and The Fiend vs Goldberg for the two World Championships. A new champion at this point is sure to shake up the entire build to WrestleMania.

#5 The Miz and John Morrison become the new SmackDown Tag Team Champions

SmackDown's Tag Team division has suddenly got a huge boost with the addition of the team of The Miz and John Morrison to it. With the duo reforming, The New Day has a major task on their hands at Super ShowDown.

A win here for Miz and Morrison is sure to make the Tag Team scene on the blue brand very interesting. The New Day has recently teased another feud with the Usos and by the looks of it, we might be in for a multi-man (Ladder?) match for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 36.

The Miz and Morrison as the Champs, defending their titles against New Day and The Usos in a three-way, is sure to be a memorable and thrilling match!

#4 Mansoor gets an impromptu match/segment

The hometown hero!

One of the biggest surprises on the build-up to WWE Super ShowDown 2020 has been the absence of Saudi Arabia's very own, Mansoor. After being a part of the last two WWE shows in the country, it is baffling as to why WWE hasn't announced his match yet.

It was at WWE Super ShowDown 2019 when the company put this young Superstar on the map after he won the massive 51-man Battle Royal match, which had some of the biggest stars in the company. Later in the year year, at WWE Crown Jewel, Mansoor faced-off against the Swiss Superman, Cesaro, and had an amazing match, which ended with the hometown boy picking up a massive victory.

While he hasn't been announced for the show yet, my bold prediction is that Mansoor will get an impromptu match on the show, or at least will come out to make the save as a babyface, getting huge cheers from the home crowd.

Maybe he could help Roman Reigns in his fight against King Corbin. Remember, there's a chance of Robert Roode interfering in the match, and Mansoor could be an ideal option to even the odds in favor of the Big Dog.

#3 Drew McIntyre comes out to make the save for Ricochet after his match against Brock Lesnar

One of the most interesting matchups on the card, which I personally would not have predicted a month ago is between Brock Lesnar and Ricochet for the WWE Championship. The match is a typical David vs Goliath scenario as the former United States Champion has a mammoth task in front of him in the form of the Beast Incarnate.

I have said this multiple times, this match has the potential to be a show-stealer, provided Lesnar wants to have a good match. We've seen how amazing the WWE Champion performs against opponents with a style similar to that of Ricochet. His high-flying offense is sure to perfectly compliment the strong-strike style of Lesnar.

The ideal way to book the match is to let Ricochet have his moments to shine, but ultimately it will be Lesnar who'll come out victorious. After the match, a frustrated Lesnar can take out his anger on a fallen Ricochet, only for his WrestleMania 36 opponent, Drew McIntyre, to make the save.

Remember, it was Ricochet who played a major role in helping the Scottish Psychopath eliminate the Beast Incarnate from the Royal Rumble. He owes him this much! This segment will also be a perfect start to their official WWE Championship feud for WrestleMania 36.

#2 The Undertaker has a confrontation with the Phenomenal One

The modern era of pro wrestling is a tough time for WWE to keep secrets and plan surprises for their shows. While WWE has been successful at shocking fans at times, many times the secret goes out before they want it to.

In one of the recent videos, The Undertaker has been spotted alongside the rest of the WWE roster in Saudi Arabia, pretty much confirming his presence on the show. In one of my other articles, I've gone into detail as to what he could be doing on the show.

As for the bold prediction, I think The Phenom will come down to the ring to have a confrontation with his rumored WrestleMania 36 opponent, AJ Styles. The Phenomenal One is all set to compete in the gauntlet match for the Tuwaiq Trophy and is the favorite to win the match.

A confrontation with The Deadman during his post-match celebration will be the perfect set-up for their feud at the Grandest Stage of them All. He has claimed himself to be the new Mr. WrestleMania. Can he live up to those words against the greatest performer in the history of the Show of Shows?

#1 The Fiend squashes Goldberg

Another massive first-time-ever match scheduled to take place at WWE Super ShowDown is the battle of two powerhouses, as "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt defends his Universal Championship against a returning Goldberg.

While the match is being considered by many as a tough to predict one, I believe this is not the correct time for The Fiend to lose his title, and Goldberg is not the correct person to do that. WWE has some massive potential in Wyatt's new gimmick and they should avoid doing what they did with Bray's previous gimmick - letting him lose major feuds and matches.

Throughout the build-up for this match, Goldberg has been portrayed as someone unaffected by The Fiend's mind games. On the SmackDown before the PPV, the two were in the ring at the same time and Goldberg forced the Universal Champion to retreat after hitting him with a spear.

The Fiend needs this victory much more than Goldberg, and in my last bold prediction for the show, I predict The Fiend to squash Goldberg with ease to retain his title and gain some massive momentum before entering into his WrestleMania feud.
