Saudi Arabia's third PPV will be held on June 7, 2019, the Super ShowDown PPV, which will take place at King Abdullah International Stadium. The show will host 10 matches, including the first-ever match between Goldberg and The Undertaker, three championship matches, as well as a blockbuster match between Randy Orton and Triple H.

The Super ShowDown PPV will be the first WWE PPV since AEW's Double or Nothing PPV, and they will want to put on a good show to please fans who have been rather disappointed by WWE's recent programming.

WWE need to put on great matches and storylines to get viewership and ratings up, and not commit the same mistakes that they have done in the last few months.

Here are 5 things that should not happen at Super ShowDown:


#5 Goldberg and Undertaker main eventing the show

This match is one for the ages. Two legends of the pro wrestling industry going head to head at Super ShowDown for the very first time. Goldberg and The Undertaker have never faced each other in the wrestling ring, and this will perhaps be the first and last time that they will fight each other.

There has been no storyline for this show, with both Superstars appearing on the go-home show and seeing eye-to-eye for the first time in the feud. This match between these two legends is going to be a one-off, just for this marquee Saudi Arabia show.

But, despite their aura and name-value in the pro wrestling business, this match should not main event Super ShowDown. Any WWE PPV's main event should be a title match or at least a gimmick match, and not a match between two Superstars who are way past their best and are only on the card for what they have done in the past.

#4 Undercard talent wins battle royal

The Super ShowDown PPV will have the largest battle royal as 50 men will all be in the ring at the same time at the show on June 7. Last year's Royal Rumble match at Greatest Royal Rumble, which was the first PPV in Saudi Arabia in 2018, saw 50 men compete in the Royal Rumble match.

But unlike the Royal Rumble match, the battle royal will see all men in the ring at the same time. Usually, these types of matches are held at the start of the PPV or on the pre-show, and this time will most likely be no different.

Last year, Braun Strowman won the Royal Rumble match at Greatest Royal Rumble, but it did nothing to his push in the WWE. This year's Super ShowDown PPV could be a great way for WWE to put over its long and talented roster by giving a talented Superstar who has not been used properly, a win.

Someone like EC3, who has had a miserable run in the WWE since being called up to the main roster, would benefit from a win.

#3 No title changes

At last year's Crown Jewel PPV there were no titles changes, apart from Brock Lesnar winning the vacant Universal title which had been relinquished by Roman Reigns a few weeks earlier.

We can't have a repeat of the same where there are no title changes at all and that the PPV is almost like a live event show. At Super ShowDown, three titles will be on the line. Finn Balor will defend his Intercontinental title against Andrade; Kofi Kingston will put his WWE Championship on the line against Dolph Ziggler, while Seth Rollins will face off against Baron Corbin for the Universal title.

I think the PPV will be a little more exciting - and unpredictable - if WWE swerves and makes one of the three babyfaces to lose their titles at the show.

WWE needs to shake things up to match AEW's fantastic Double or Nothing PPV.

#2 Not building stories to the next PPV

One thing that WWE has lacked lately is storylines to build feuds and get the audience invested in them. AEW won over fans with the stories woven into the matches, especially the match between Dustin Rhodes and Cody Rhodes.

WWE will have to build stories, tease potential feuds, and make the overall product a little more interesting for the next PPV, Stomping Grounds. Due to the nature of WWE programming, where there are one if not two PPVs every month, it gives Superstars very little time on RAW or SmackDown to build a long, interesting story.

The battle royal could be one match where potential feuds could be teased between two Superstars, while there is also a possibility of a Superstar returning from injury or hiatus to interfere and build a feud.

#1 Brock Lesnar win

Almost every WWE fan does not want this to happen. Brock Lesnar has returned to the WWE, and following his MMA retirement, he has more time to feud in WWE.

If the past few years are any indication, Lesnar will only make appearances ahead of big PPVs (or the ones that offer huge sums of money like the Saudi Arabia PPVs), which has caused fans to turn on him.

Lesnar has been teasing a cash-in on Seth Rollins since he won the Money in the Bank contract, but a win for Lesnar is not something WWE fans want to see. Lesnar should be nowhere near the title picture, at least the Universal title picture, as we have already seen him feud with Rollins before.

Perhaps we could see WWE swerve us all and have Lesnar cash in on Kofi Kingston and the WWE Championship, which would be quite a surprise, and a potentially interesting feud as well.
