WWE Super ShowDown 2020 last-minute rumors - Special plans in place for travel delay; Why former US champ is not in Saudi Arabia and more

#4 Travel plans

WWE Superstars were stranded in Saudi Arabia last time around due to technical issues to their plane

The last time WWE were in Saudi Arabia, for the Crown Jewel PPV, WWE's Superstars were left stranded in the country after the show as their chartered plane faced some technical issues. This resulted in WWE making last-minute changes to SmackDown with the majority of their roster missing.

This time around, though, WWE have planned and prepared better for any issues that may crop up.

Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue has reported about contingency plans WWE has in place if they face similar issues to last time:

The most prominent of these choices is apparently the appearance of John Cena; someone who is not on the Super Showdown card but who can easily take up a major segment or more than one if necessary.

Additionally, there has been a major reduction in the total number of both RAW and SmackDown talent traveling to Saudi Arabia. Several big names are notable in their absence, including current feuding Braun Strowman, Shinsuke Nakamura, Elias, Cesaro and Sami Zayn as well as all but two of the current women’s division. A higher number than before have opted out of the show.

He also said that WWE have a backup plane to call upon if they face any issues, while WWE have also taped a segment featuring The Fiend if he cannot make it to the show.
