5 Biggest matches WWE should give us at the Saudi Arabia event

WWE recently made an announcement regarding the Saudi Arabia event planned next month. The announcement read:

The Saudi General Sports Authority, in partnership with WWE, will host an event at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Friday, June 7, at 8 p.m. AST. The event will feature WWE Superstars Roman Reigns, Undertaker, Kofi Kingston, Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, Goldberg, AJ Styles and Brock Lesnar, and stream live on WWE Network.

In case you don't remember, last year WWE signed an agreement and a huge deal with the Saudi General Sports Authority, according to which WWE will host events on the land of Saudi Arabia for a period of 10 years. Last year, WWE conducted The Greatest Royal Rumble and Crown Jewel PPV as part of this deal.

The above-mentioned event/pay-per-view will be the third Saudi event and the first one this year. Another event in the Middle East is also scheduled later this year, the details of which are yet to be shared by the company.

An interesting fact to note in the statement is the inclusion of some major superstars in the feature list, the most notable one being the Hall of Famer, Goldberg. These Saudi events are very highly-paid days for the performers and WWE has managed to get some huge names in the last two events here as well, like Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, etc.

With such huge names announced, fans are definitely in for a tremendous show at the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia next month. In this article, let's take a look at the 5 Biggest matches WWE should give us at this year's Saudi event. Do let us know which matches would you be most interested to see.

#5 Brock Lesnar vs Lars Sullivan

Lars Sullivan has wreaked havoc upon the main roster ever since making his debut on the night after WrestleMania 35. Currently as part of the SmackDown roster, Sullivan has attacked and dominated veterans like Kurt Angle, Rey Mysterio, The Hardy Boyz, and many more during his less-than-a-month old main roster career.

With his Universal Championship loss at WrestleMania 35, it looks like The Beast Brock Lesnar will most probably be used for special events like this only (not as if he used to appear a lot before as the champion either). A match between the two of these beasts would be a great way to boost Sullivan to new heights.

Imagine the momentum Sullivan will get if he manhandles the Beast and pins him in front of a fully packed King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.

#4 Another Greatest Royal Rumble

Could we see the return of the Greatest Royal Rumble?

In the announcement made by WWE, they haven't mentioned the name of the event that will take place next month in Saudi Arabia. The first PPV here last year was called "The Greatest Royal Rumble" as it featured for the first time a 50-men Royal Rumble match, which was won by the Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman.

While we still don't know whether that was a one-time deal or not, but there is a chance that WWE might return with the 50-man royal rumble this year as well. If it indeed goes down, we might see some legends return for a small stint.

Even someone like Goldberg would do better in such a match as he's not really known for his wrestling abilities and to carry on a long 15-20 minute match. If I were to pick a winner this year, I'd go with either Lars Sullivan or Drew McIntyre.

#3 The Undertaker vs Elias

These two had a confrontation on the night after WrestleMania!

WrestleMania 35 will go down as one of the rarest WrestleManias that The Phenom has not been a part of. Though The Undertaker didn't appear at WrestleMania 35, he did make an appearance the following night by interrupting Elias and taking him down on RAW.

While this might just have been a random segment to make use of The Undertaker and increase ratings, Elias might just be a great opponent for The Undertaker at the Saudi Arabia event next year. The Undertaker is all but confirmed to have some kind of a match at the show, and what better than to give a younger superstar like Elias the biggest match of his career.

#2 Samoa Joe vs Braun Strowman

WWE teased this feud on the SmackDown after WrestleMania 35!

Braun Strowman attacked the Samoan Submission Machine Samoa Joe on the SmackDown after WrestleMania 35, as the fans watched eagerly. Not only was he not a part of the blue brand at that point, his sudden attack kinda felt like "I'm coming for your title, Joe!"

Though we never saw anything between the two after that attack, even after Joe moving to RAW. But WWE might just be saving this big-money feud for the big event at Saudi Arabia. These two monsters clashing for the United States Title would be an epic rivalry and match for sure.

#1 Roman Reigns vs Goldberg

In one of the most subtle way, WWE very quietly announced the return of the Myth, The Hall of Famer, Goldberg in their statement for the Saudi Arabia PPV. With him officially announced for the show, fans have already started wondering who's next in line to become the victim of Goldberg's deadly spear! But wait, can this time Goldberg be on the receiving end?

Do you guys remember the super cool double spear that Roman Reigns and Goldberg delivered to Braun Strowman during the build-up to the 2017 Royal Rumble PPV? If not, check it out below.

With Roman Reigns feuding with Elias at Money in the Bank, he'll need a new opponent for the Saudi PPV and a big win to gain some momentum before he can enter the title picture. With Goldberg announced for the show, I have a gut feeling that WWE might just put these two together in a match that will see Goldberg put over Reigns. Who'll win this clash of The Spear vs Spear?
