WWE's fifth PPV in Saudi Arabia, Super ShowDown 2020, takes place tomorrow from Riyadh. As always, WWE have put together a fantastic card for the event with a number of titles on the line.

The biggest match on the card has to be the Universal title match which has The Fiend Bray Wyatt defending his title against Goldberg. Brock Lesnar is also on the card at WWE Super ShowDown and The Beast will be defending his WWE Championship against Ricochet.

We also have a historic women's title match which will be the first time the women's title has been defended in Saudi Arabia.

Bayley will be defending her title against Naomi, who recently made her return to WWE. Both tag-team titles will also be on the line on Thursday. The New Day will defend the SmackDown tag-team championship against The Miz and John Morrison while RAW Tag-Team Champions, Seth Rollins and Murphy, will defend their belts against the Street Profits.

With Super ShowDown almost here, we take a look at some twists and surprises WWE could book on the show.

#5 Goldberg and Bray Wyatt's title match ends in DQ

WWE Super ShowDown has a number of title matches on the card but the biggest one has to be the WWE Universal Championship match. 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt will defend his title against Goldberg. Wyatt and Goldberg have been going back and forth on SmackDown, leading to last week's episode where Goldberg speared The Fiend.

Going into the match. it looks like Goldberg could beat The Fiend to win the title and go on to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania with the WWE Championship on the line. However, if the plan is to still keep the title on The Fiend, this match could surprise us all and end in an unpopular DQ finish.

WWE Super ShowDown will see a historic title match. Bayley will become the first women's champion to defend her title in Saudi Arabia when she faces Naomi. It's expected that Bayley will win the match and go on to defend her title at WrestleMania. Bayley has had a good run as a heel champion, although she could have been booked a little stronger in her title matches.

However, to mark the historic occasion of this being the first women's title match in Saudi Arabia, WWE could decide to have a title change. Naomi missed around six months with personal issues and this would be the perfect moment for her to win the title after her comeback to WWE.

Naomi could go into WrestleMania as the babyface champion or could even lose the title back to Bayley if the plan is to have Bayley vs Sasha Banks.

#3 Street Profits win the RAW Tag-Team Championships

It's fair to say that until recently, the Street Profits haven't been used to their full potential on RAW since their call-up to the main roster. They spent the majority of their run doing backstage skits on RAW instead of being given the chance to showcase what they can do inside the ring.

Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins are now set to take on Seth Rollins and Murphy for the RAW Tag-Team Championships at Super ShowDown. This could be the perfect opportunity for WWE to surprise us and have Ford and Dawkins win the RAW Tag-Team titles.

This will not only cement the Street Profits as top guys in the RAW tag-team division, but it will also free up Seth Rollins to continue as a singles star on the road to WrestleMania. This doesn't mean WWE have to break up the Monday Night Messiah's faction, and AOP could step up to challenge Street Profits instead.

#2 The Undertaker costs AJ Styles the Tuwaiq Trophy

Dave Meltzer first reported that The Undertaker was on his way with the WWE crew and Superstars to be a part of Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia. We saw a video of him earlier today confirming that The Deadman is indeed in Riyadh.

Although The Undertaker is not booked for a match at Super ShowDown, that doesn't mean that The Deadman can't make a significant impact on the show. WWE could use The Deadman to set up his WrestleMania match. At this point, reports suggest that Undertaker will face AJ Styles at WrestleMania.

Styles will be in the Tuwaiq Trophy gauntlet match at the Super ShowDown PPV competing against Rowan, Rey Mysterio, Andrade, R-Truth and Bobby Lashley. WWE could book Undertaker to appear inside the ring during the match to cost AJ Styles.

This would be the perfect way to set up the feud between the two and Styles could go on to call out Undertaker on RAW to cement the match.

#1 Ricochet takes Brock Lesnar to the limit

One of the big title matches at WWE Super ShowDown sees Brock Lesnar defend the WWE Championship against Ricochet.

Let's briefly go into the backstory for this match. Days ahead of the Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar low-blowed Ricochet in the middle of the ring during RAW, leaving him in a crumpled heap.

At the Royal Rumble, Lesnar entered at #1 and went on a rampage until Drew McIntyre came out. Ricochet was also in the ring when McIntyre entered and he hit Lesnar with a lowblow, giving McIntyre the chance to hit Lesnar with a Claymore Kick, eliminating him from the Royal Rumble match. Ricochet later won a #1 contender's match on RAW to earn the right to face Lesnar.

Brock will have revenge on his mind at Super ShowDown and a section of fans expect this to be a squash match or last a couple of minutes at maximum. However, WWE could surprise us by having Ricochet go toe to toe with Lesnar, taking him to a longer match, akin to Lesnar's match with Finn Balor.

Ricochet is one of the most promising Superstars on RAW right now and making him look competitive against Lesnar could help his career a lot.
