On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer had a big possible revelation regarding WWE's Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia this Thursday. According to Meltzer, one legendary Superstar who looks set to be at Super ShowDown is none other than 7-time WWE Champion The Undertaker.

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer stated that the Deadman will be flying out to Saudi Arabia with the WWE crew. Although the Deadman is not in a match at Super ShowDown, earlier reports suggested The Undertaker could be scheduled to face AJ Styles at WrestleMania.

Styles will be a part of the Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy gauntlet match. If Undertaker does make an appearance in Saudi Arabia, it could be a way to set up his match with Styles at Mania. We could see Undertaker coming out and taking out Styles during his match as a way to get the feud started.

To some fans, Baron Corbin and Roman Reigns' feud has been going on forever. The duo have been feuding for months and during this time we've seen everything from people in big dog suits to Superstars covered in dog food.

Reigns and Corbin faced each other at the Royal Rumble in what turned out to be a pretty captivating match but even though most fans thought that this was the end of the feud, that wasn't the case.

Reigns and Corbin will face each other once more at WWE Super ShowDown on Thursday night, this time inside a steel cage. However, this match could finally be the end of the feud between Corbin and Reigns.

During last week's SmackDown, Michael Cole said that Corbin and Reigns would face each other for the last time at Super ShowDown. Reigns looks set for a big title match at WrestleMania, which adds to the chances of this being the end of this feud.

One Superstar who was originally supposed to be in the match was former United States Champion Rusev. However, WWE quietly removed Rusev from the match and he was replaced by Rey Mysterio.

We know what the potential reason was for Rusev being removed from the match. According to PWInsider, the reason Rusev was removed from the match at Super ShowDown was because of possible back issues. Here's what PWInsider's report said:

WWE star Rusev was not at tonight's Raw in Winnipeg, Manitoba and is no longer scheduled to travel to Saudi Arabia for this Thursday's WWE Super Showdown in Riyadh. The word making the rounds is that Rusev is citing a back issue, leading to his replacement.

#2 Why multiple stars will be staying behind in the United States this time around

WWE Super ShowDown will be the company's fifth show in Saudi Arabia. However, one thing that will be different this time around is the number of Superstars heading over to the Middle Eastern Kingdom.

The reason behind the reduced number of Superstars heading over probably has to do with the fact that SmackDown will take place the following night coupled with the travel issues faced by the roster last time around.

For fans who don't remember, one of the flights booked to bring members of the roster back to the States faced mechanical difficulties, leaving Superstars delayed in their return home. This also led to plans having to be changed for the following SmackDown, which actually led to the awesome invasion by members of the NXT roster.

The main event of WWE Super ShowDown 2020 will see WWE Universal Champion Bray Wyatt defend his title against Goldberg.

Although most fans expected Wyatt to win the match initially, Dave Meltzer is now reporting that Goldberg could beat Bray Wyatt at Super ShowDown to win the Universal Championship. According to him, this would lead to Goldberg defending the WWE Universal Championship against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.

Here's what Dave Meltzer said about the changes to Super ShowDown on Wrestling Observer Radio:

A lot's changed. The only matches I've written about that have changed... is Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns and John Cena and Elias. But I believe there's about five or six matches that have changed in total, but those are other matches that I hadn't reported yet anyway.

When Meltzer was asked if Goldberg could beat Bray Wyatt at Super ShowDown, here's what he had to say:

When I heard that change, obviously that's the first thing you think of.
