WWE will be returning to Saudi Arabia next month for WWE Super ShowDown. This will be the third-time the company is making their way back to the country for an event. They have signed a 10-year deal with the Saudi Arabian government to host two shows every year for 10 years. The match-card already seems thrilling with various championships and legendary matches set to take place.
A 50-man Battle Royal has also been announced for the show which could see many former stars returning and new stars debuting. Last year, WWE held a 50-man Royal Rumble match at the Greatest Royal Rumble which also took place in Saudi Arabia. Braun Strowman won the Royal Rumble match and was awarded a title and a trophy.
So, here are five potential candidates who could win the 50-man Battle Royal in Saudi Arabia this year.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 Ali
There were various rumors that Ali was going to win the men's Money in the Bank ladder match until Brock Lesnar arrived and pushed him off the ladder to win the contract. This has to be a huge blow for the new star who arrived to SmackDown last year from 205 Live. But, this isn't the first time he has lost his opportunity to become the main event star.
Even before Elimination Chamber 2019, Ali was expected to get a push into the main event scene but instead Kofi Kingston received that push after Ali suffered an injury. It is still rumored that WWE wants to push Ali and he could win the 50-man Battle Royal in Saudi Arabia, as winning that match could begin his push to the main event scene.
#4 Drew McIntyre
Just like Ali, Drew McIntyre is also one of the stars WWE wants to push into the main event scene. McIntyre was released by the company in 2014, and he returned once again with a complete transformation on NXT in 2016. Last year, he debuted on the main roster and even became the Raw Tag Team Champion with Dolph Ziggler.
The only way to make McIntyre a main event star is by giving him a major victory such as winning the 50-man Battle Royal at WWE Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia. McIntyre is the perfect candidate to win this match, as not only it will suit his character, but also it could begin his possible main event run in the company.
#3 Bray Wyatt
Bray Wyatt is finally going to return with a new gimmick. There have been various vignettes that have aired explaining his new character. Critics are really liking his new character as part of the Firefly Funhouse. After his previous gimmick suffered from poor booking due to losing all his major feuds, his new gimmick could build up his career.
The company could debut him at WWE Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia, as part of the 50-man Battle Royal. He could possibly win the match and put a direct impact to his new character. Already, many backstage officials are quite impressed with the reaction his new character is receiving. So, a win could begin his push into the main event scene.
#2 Baron Corbin
Now, not many people will agree with this option but still, Baron Corbin could win the 50-man Battle Royal at WWE Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia. There are rumors that he could face the Universal Champion Seth Rollins after this show at the new pay-per-view, Stomping Grounds. So, Corbin needs a big win to establish himself as the #1 contender.
That's why he could end up winning the battle royal which will shock many fans watching the event. Corbin is currently the most despised superstar on both the rosters due to his character. WWE will intend to utilize this heat by making him the top heel of the company. If he wants to become the top heel, he needs top wins on the top shows of WWE.
#1 Lars Sullivan
Lars Sullivan finally debuted on the main roster after WrestleMania 35. He was expected to be in a program with John Cena at the Show of Shows before suffering an anxiety attack which kept him off for a long time. Since arriving, Sullivan has targeted various WWE Superstars to make an impact in the company.
He could by far be the best candidate to win the 50-man Battle Royal, as this win could benefit Sullivan further in his career. WWE already wants him to become a top star, so giving him such a huge win can elevate him in the main event scene. Also, these battle royals should be won by monsters like Sullivan.
