Traditionally, WWE's shows in Saudi Arabia have been very hit and miss and you never know if the company will end up hitting a home run or not. However, this time around, the lineup is stacked and from the looks of it, the pieces are in place for a very good show.
And yet, unless there is a major surprise or five, I don't necessarily know if the show will actually be memorable. And so with that in mind, I present 5 surprises that could happen at WWE Super ShowDown for your reading pleasure.
Be sure to leave a comment and let me know if you think the following surprises are possible or even likely. I would love to hear your take on the whole thing, folks.
So, with that in mind, let me list out the 5 likely surprises I think may potentially happen.
#5 The Undertaker shockingly appears to challenge AJ Styles
It is very clear with how things are lining up, that AJ Styles is in for a pretty big match at WrestleMania. There are rumors that it is either going to be against Shawn Michaels or The Undertaker and either case is a big deal. I would likely believe that it will be The Undertaker considering that Shawn Michaels has pretty much retired from the ring.
Considering that AJ Styles is the favorite to win the Tuwaiq trophy, maybe he celebrates in the ring when the lights go out. Gallows and Anderson bear the brunt of The Undertaker but AJ Styles is able to make a hasty retreat to set the big match up for WrestleMania 36.
And maybe a repeat of the match could also happen in Saudi Arabia when WWE visits the country next for the crowd in attendance.
#4 Edge appears out of the blue to say that he's returning
Admit it. You screamed your guts out when Edge made his return at the Royal Rumble this year and because the audience in the United States got to witness it, why shouldn't the Saudi Arabian audience get a taste of the same?
So, whether Roman Reigns is the victim of a beatdown from King Corbin and his cronies or whether Edge comes in when The Street Profits are the victim of an attack from Seth Rollins and his faction, the crowd is pretty much guaranteed to go nuts when he shows up. And this appearance can be used to just cut a promo on Randy Orton, letting him know that the two men need to clash at WrestleMania 36.
The idea of a Super ShowDown can also be advanced when Edge has a staredown with someone like Seth Rollins or even someone like maybe Bobby Lashley. The seeds of a future match could be sown in Saudi Arabia before a packed house this Thursday.
#3 Goldberg becomes the new Universal Champion
Look, I know that it won't be the most popular decision in the world if it were to happen. But the fact is that Goldberg has been a draw in the business since the day that he made his debut because he was presented as an unstoppable force, running through his opponents in WCW.
And even The Fiend, who's been able to overcome every opponent thus far, would have finally come across someone that he cannot defeat. It would be the next chapter of his story and would be a very interesting twist based on how he has been presented thus far.
And the fact remains that you can never count Goldberg out, come what may because if he were to win the Universal Championship, a match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania would be a massive match. This is definitely a match that you cannot call because both men are always booked to win their big matches.
Goldberg becoming Universal Champion would be a genuine surprise, but is it really all that surprising?
#2 Hulk Hogan attacks The Fiend following his big title match
We all remember the interaction between Hulk Hogan and The Fiend on WWE SmackDown. It was a battle of two men who've dominated their respective eras and even though Hulk Hogan is way past his prime, with enough smoke and mirrors, a match between them is possible, I do suppose. Not everyone has forgiven Hulk Hogan for his actions and the right thing to do for him at this point would be to lay down and take the pin for The Fiend.
But for the match to actually be made I have a feeling that Hulk Hogan needs to show up in Saudi Arabia. Whether The Fiend ends up winning or losing his match, The Hulkster could always come to lay him out for good. And then a match could be made for WrestleMania 36.
The question, of course, is how many big boots and leg drops The Fiend can survive before he makes the legend pass out with his signature move- The Mandible Claw.
#1 Tyson Fury challenges Brock Lesnar
Tyson Fury is on top of the world after his recent victory over Wilder and if you were wondering what's next for him, well his WWE stint is not yet done for sure. In fact, he's got The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar in his crosshairs.
In fact, he caught up with Sportskeeda's own Gary Cassidy not long ago and teased a match against The Beast Incarnate. This is what he had to say:
No plans as of yet to do another fight as of yet, just go back to my day job, but after that - who knows? You might see another appearance after this one. If I was to continue, I would want to fight Brock Lesnar.
So, let's assume for a minute that Brock Lesnar is done with Ricochet and is celebrating his big victory when there's a message on the screen. Tyson Fury appears and makes a challenge for the next show in Saudi Arabia.
Just imagine how much of a stir it would cause if that happens.
