WWE's second PPV of 2020 is set to take place in Saudi Arabia as the second edition of the Super ShowDown will happen on February 27, 2020. The PPV, which is to be the fifth WWE PPV in Saudi Arabia, will mostly see most of the male roster from both RAW and SmackDown.

One Superstar who will surely be there is SmackDown Superstar and current Universal Champion, The Fiend Bray Wyatt, who is going to be the star performer on the PPV. The Fiend is currently in a feud with Daniel Bryan, who he defeated at Royal Rumble. But with Bryan not being available for Saudi Arabia shows, The Fiend will face some other WWE Superstar.

The last time The Fiend wrestled in Saudi Arabia, he faced Seth Rollins, and defeated him at the PPV.

Let's take a look at the 5 possible opponents for The Fiend at WWE Super ShowDown 2020:


#5 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt are real-life friends and have a past history on screen in WWE as well. Strowman and Wyatt were a part of the Wyatt Family faction, but have not crossed paths much since the end of that faction.

Both Superstars hold titles on SmackDown as Strowman won the Intercontinental title from Shinsuke Nakamura, while Wyatt is the Universal Champion.

We could see the two have a match at Super ShowDown, as a one-off match, just like at last year's Starrcade show, where The Fiend defeated Strowman. Strowman is pretty popular in Saudi Arabia and has featured prominently and been pushed in PPVs in the Middle Eastern country.

This could be a teaser to a programme between the two in the months to come, as both of them are currently in feuds, with Strowman in a feud with Nakamura, and The Fiend with Daniel Bryan.

#4 Dolph Ziggler or Shinsuke Nakamura

The Saudi Arabia PPVs sometimes have filler matches just to keep a Superstar's momentum going and keep him popular. The Fiend needs to be booked strongly on the Road to WrestleMania, where he may possibly drop the title, which is why there's a possibility of him getting a quick victory at Super ShowDown.

WWE could perhaps put him against some fantastic in-ring performers like Dolph Ziggler or Shinsuke Nakamura, where he squashes them in under five minutes.

Ziggler was the sacrificial lamb in Goldberg's return to the ring, following the debacle against The Undertaker, at last year's SummerSlam, and he could do it once again, this time against The Fiend.

Nakamura also may not have a feud if WWE decides to move him away from the feud with Strowman, and we could maybe see him take one for the team by losing quickly to The Fiend.

The likes of Sheamus or Cesaro are other options for The Fiend at WWE Super ShowDown as neither Superstar has a match set for Super ShowDown at the moment.

#3 The Undertaker

The Undertaker has been a part of three of the four Saudi Arabia PPVs, missing only the last PPV, Crown Jewel, in October 2019. The Phenom featured on WWE television in SmackDown back in 2019 but hasn't returned since.

His last match on WWE television was back in July 2019 at Extreme Rules where he teamed up with Roman Reigns to defeat Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon.

There's been talk about The Sting returning to WWE for one final match, which would most likely be against The Undertaker, but apart from that, The Deadman doesn't have any possible feuds for Super ShowDown.

The Fiend vs The Undertaker would be a dream match for many, as the two iconic characters are similar in a lot of ways.

A match against The Undertaker, and perhaps even a win, could only help push The Fiend even further on the Road To WrestleMania. This is one match that has to happen for The Fiend in the months to come, and Saudi Arabia could be a good place for it to happen.

#2 Kane

If not for The Undertaker, perhaps his brother, Kane, could face The Fiend at Super ShowDown. This is a match that many fans have speculated will happen at Super ShowDown later this month.

The Big Red Machine has been in a mini-feud with The Fiend in the last few months, which began last year on RAW.

Kane made an appearance on SmackDown last month, and he was interrupted by The Fiend, who tried to send a message, of sorts. Daniel Bryan came out of nowhere and attacked The Fiend on that show, just a week before Royal Rumble.

A match between Kane and The Fiend already has an interesting storyline, and it almost like a passing of the baton moment if and when the two demonic characters meet. A matchup between the two could also help keep the Bryan-Fiend storyline going, where Kane could perhaps come to the aid of his former tag team partner.

The Fiend and Kane haven't faced each other in the ring, but Bray Wyatt and Kane have, in the past.

#1 Goldberg

WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg is set to feature on this week's SmackDown, and he will most likely reveal who he is going to or wants to face at WWE's next PPV, Super ShowDown.

Goldberg had a poor showing the last time he featured at Super ShowDown, where he had that infamous match with The Undertaker, which was much criticised for the numerous botches.

This time around, Goldberg may have an easier ride and perhaps face someone younger. The Fiend could be a possibly opponent, for one-night only, for the WCW legend.

A match between Goldberg and The Fiend could help both Superstars; for the Universal Champion, a win against a legend like Goldberg will only making him even more strong, whereas for Goldberg, it gives him a chance to be in a main event once again, against possibly one of WWE's biggest current stars.
