WWE travels to The Middle East on February 27th for their fifth show live from The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and once again a number of legends are expected to be in tow.
Since the first show back in 2018, officials in the Middle East have requested that WWE bring a number of legends since there are many fans in their country who remember the "glory days" of wrestling.
In the past, there have been a number of legends who have returned as part of Super ShowDown or Crown Jewel, including Kane, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Goldberg, Hulk Hogan, and Ric Flair.
This year is no different, with Edge expected to make the trip over to The Middle East but he could be joined by a number of other legends as well.
#5 Hulk Hogan
There have been rumors over the past few days regarding Hulk Hogan and the fact that he's set to return to Saudi Arabia for the third time later this month. The WWE Hall of Famer returned for the first time as part of the Crown Jewel show back in 2018, before returning in the fall of last year to be part of the bragging rights match against Team Ric Flair.
Of course, it was Team Hogan who came out on top last October and now Hogan is expected to be part of the show once again. Whilst it's unknown what role Hogan will play on his return to the Middle East, the former World Champion has been pushing to be in a match for a number of months but it's unknown as to whether or not he can be cleared for active competition.
Either way, a Hogan appearance never disappoints, which could be why The Immortal One has been asked to return once again.
#4 Sting
Sting has only wrestled a handful of matches in WWE since he made his debut back in 2014 but was sidelined almost five years ago when a match with Seth Rollins for the WWE Championship at Night of Champions left him with a neck injury.
The WWE Hall of Famer has since undergone surgery to repair his injured neck but as part of WWE Untold on the WWE Network a few months ago he revealed that he believes that he could return and even though he is still holding out for a final match against The Undertaker, this may not be the plan.
Rumors originally suggested that he would return in The Royal Rumble and set up a match for the Saudi Arabia show on February 27th, but it appears that this was not the case. Sting is someone who is yet to wrestle in Saudi Arabia but would definitely be up for it if the company gave him the right person to wrestle.
#3 Batista
Batista officially retired from wrestling following his match against Triple H at last year's WrestleMania, but in wrestling, it appears that no star is ever actually retired. Shawn Michaels managed to remain out of the ring for almost a decade before he was convinced to return for one final match at Crown Jewel back in 2018, so Batista could be convinced to come out of retirement for the money that's on offer in the Middle East.
The Animal has had a successful switch over to acting and is currently enjoying his time on The Big Screen, but since WWE was able to convince him to make his return to the company to be part of WrestleMania last year, it's easy to see them asking Batista to wrestle in Saudi Arabia for the first time.
Batista has already been confirmed as a WWE Hall of Famer for 2020, but whilst it's not expected that he will wrestle as part of WrestleMania weekend, he could decide to wrestle his final match later this month ahead of his induction instead.
#2 Kurt Angle
Kurt Angle had his retirement match at WrestleMania 35 last year, but it was a match that many fans were not impressed with. Baron Corbin didn't deserve to be the man to retire the legendary Kurt Angle, which is why he should return to the Middle East and bow out on his own terms.
Angle still works around WWE and would be easy to be called back for a match if he was open to wrestling in Saudi Arabia. Angle traveled to Saudi Arabia back in 2018 to take part in the WWE World Cup Tournament that was eventually won by Shane McMahon, which means it wouldn't much of a stretch for him to involve himself once again.
Angle is one of WWE's biggest stars and deserves the chance to choose his opponent for his final match and with almost a month to go until the show, there is more than enough time to build up The Olympic Gold Medalists return.
Could there be one more match in the WWE Hall of Famer? Sportskeeda's Gary Cassidy recently caught up with Angle and asked the question.
#1 Beth Phoenix
Last year's Crown Jewel made history when Lacey Evans and Natalya became the first women to wrestle in the country, which showed that WWE had made some kind of progress in the Middle East since their first trip their back in April 2018.
The match between Evans and Natalya now opens the door to any other female wrestler to make the trip over to the country and it could be Beth Pheonix this year.
The WWE Hall of Famer returned as part of the Women's Royal Rumble on Sunday night and whilst she was able to team up with her long time friend Natalya and dominate the match, Phoenix did later turn on The Queen of Harts and throw her over the top rope.
Phoenix currently works on commentary in NXT and could easily be convinced to make her return to the ring and travel to The Middle East with her husband Edge in order to face off with Natalya in what would easily be one of the best matches on the card.
