WWE will host their fifth Saudi Arabia PPV on February 27, 2020 at Mohammed Abdu Arena in Riyadh, in what is set to be yet another exciting show. Super ShowDown will be the second-last PPV before WrestleMania 36, and the show will see a few titles defended, as well as WrestleMania storylines built.

So far, five title matches have been set for the show as well as a gauntlet match for the Tuwaiq trophy. The show could see the return of a few Superstars who have been on the shelf due to injury, as well as those returning to begin a new storyline, or just to make up the numbers.

Let's take a look at 7 Superstars who could return at WWE Super ShowDown 2020:

#7 Mansoor

Mansoor was one of the stars of last year's Super ShowDown PPV in Saudi Arabia, as the NXT Superstar won the 51-man battle royal at the show. He was a virtual unknown before the PPV, but got a push by WWE due to being Saudi Arabian and in order to get a huge pop from the crowd.

He featured later in the year at the Crown Jewel PPV in Saudi Arabia, defeating Cesaro much to the delight of the Saudi Arabian crowd. But, since that appearance, he hasn't had prominent screen time, wrestling in dark matches and live shows on NXT.

We could see the 24-year-old Superstar return to WWE telvision once again at Super ShowDown in Riyadh, where he may once again be a part of a singles match, and squash his opponent to get a big ovation from his home crowd. Mansoor could be on the pre-show, to get the crowd excited and pumped up for the main card.

#6 Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury's appearance at the last Saudi Arabia show, Crown Jewel, was an eagerly awaited one for a lot of fans as it was the debut of the boxing star in a WWE ring. Fury faced Braun Strowman in a singles match and won by countout after landing a punch to the Monster Among Men.

But, the feud between Fury and Strowman ended when Fury appeared on a SmackDown episode in Manchester, England, where he offered to join hands with Strowman, ending their feud.

Fury has a huge boxing match on February 22 where he will step into the ring once again to face Deontay Wilder. If all goes well, we could very well see him appear at Super ShowDown a few days later, possibly setting up his next feud in WWE.

There has been talk of Fury returning to WWE, with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon very impressed with the 31-year-old boxer. Could Fury perhaps have a match at WrestleMania 36 later this year?

#5 Big Show

Big Show returned to WWE last month on RAW, where he joined forces with Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe to take on the heel faction led by Seth Rollins. Show hasn't been on WWE television since, but recent reports suggested that he was to appear on this past week's RAW.

That didn't happen, but there's a possibility that Show could return at the Saudi Arabia PPV, perhaps coming to the aid of The Street Profits, who are set to face Rollins and Murphy for the RAW Tag Team titles.


#4 Titus O'Neil

Titus O'Neil has a hilarious history with Saudi Arabia, as his "slide" botch at the Greatest Royal Rumble went viral. O'Neil hasn't wrestled on WWE television since November, with his last match coming on RAW when he faced Bobby Lashley.

We could maybe see him return to WWE at Super ShowDown, where he may possibly take part in a battle royal (if that happens), or in a tag team match, of sorts.

#3 Kane

WWE legend Kane has been a part of one Saudi Arabia PPV in the past, wrestling at Crown Jewel in 2018. He recently returned to WWE television on SmackDown, but was confronted by The Fiend Bray Wyatt.

Kane's former tag team partner Daniel Bryan came to his aid, but Kane hasn't been seen on WWE television since. There were reports doing the rounds last month about Kane returning to be a part of the Royal Rumble - which did not happen - as well as facing The Fiend at Super ShowDown.

The Fiend, though, will face Goldberg at Super ShowDown, as he defends his Universal title against the WCW icon. Kane could possibly face some other Superstar at the show, perhaps an up-and-coming Superstar, to give him a good push.


#2 Cain Velasquez

Cain Velasquez has also not been seen on WWE television for a long time, with his last appearance coming at Crown Jewel, where he lost to Brock Lesnar in his very first match in WWE.

Velasquez is fit and was even touted to be a part of the Royal Rumble, but that did not happen.

With Lesnar facing Ricochet, and his WrestleMania 36 match confirmed, Velasquez may have to train his sights on someone else, if he does return at Super ShowDown.

#1 Booker T

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T returned to the ring recently, to wrestle in his own promotion, Reality of Wrestling. The former WWE commentator has time and again spoken of his desire to tag with his brother Stevie Ray in WWE. He openly challenged The Revival, and even told WWE to add him to the men's Royal Rumble earlier this year.

Booker T is still in tremendous shape and by the looks of it, can still wrestle a match in WWE (see for yourself in the video below!)

The 54-year-old has mostly been a commentator or panellist on WWE PPVs, while also being an analyst on WWE FOX's Backstage show. Super ShowDown could very well be the place where Booker T returns, perhaps bringing along his brother, to challenge a tag team in WWE.

His last match in WWE was way back in 2012.

Alternatively, Booker T could be a part of commentary at the PPV, alongside the likes of Corey Graves, Michael Cole, and Jerry The King Lawler.
