WWE's roster has already made their way over to The Middle East ahead of Super ShowDown this afternoon, which will be their third pay-per-view in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Unlike the past two events that have been held in KSA, WWE didn't have a lot of time to build up to Super ShowDown because it has fallen mere weeks after Money in the Bank, which could be why the card feels so lackluster at present.
That being said, it's likely that the plans for the show are not yet set in stone and as we speak Vince McMahon and the creative team are still working hard to finish the script. This means that there is plenty of room for changes to matches and even additions if the company feels that they could fill out the card a little more.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5. Brock Lesnar forced to defend his briefcase
Brock Lesnar has made the trip over to Jeddah and promised that he would cash in his Money in the Bank contract as part of the show later today, which means that the company has to be planning some kind of angle to ensure that this isn't the case.
Stephanie McMahon already revealed that Brock Lesnar was going to be punished for his actions on Raw two weeks ago but there was nothing mentioned this week, which could mean that WWE officials are waiting until he hits Saudi Arabia to tell him that he will have to defend his contract before he can cash in.
The best thing that WWE could do to annoy The Beast further would be to force him to defend it in the biggest Battle Royal in WWE history as 50-men battle it out in a match that WWE is yet to announce a prize for, so a Money in the Bank contract would definitely make it a much more competitive match.
#4. R-Truth forced to defend his Championship?
This week on SmackDown Live, Shane McMahon ordered R-Truth to be part of a sanctioned match with Elias for the 24/7 Championship. This led to Elias winning the Championship before R-Truth won it back merely minutes later when he followed Elias under the ring with a referee.
R-Truth was pinned last night by Jinder Mahal at the airport on his way to Saudi Arabia and lost his Championship once again before he was able to pin Mahal as he slept on the plane a few hours later. This is the second time there has been a back and forth between R-Truth and Mahal over the 24/7 Championship so if the company needed a filler match for tonight's show then this would be the perfect addition.
The 24/7 Championship has to be featured in some way, so it will be interesting to see if R-Truth is in the 50-man Battle Royal and a number of stars attempt to pin him throughout.
#3. Loser retires
It has to happen at some point, right? Fans thought that The Undertaker had walked out of WrestleMania two years ago and was never coming back following his defeat to Roman Reigns, but the following year he was back battling John Cena.
This year he decided to skip WrestleMania and will now take on Goldberg as part of tonight's show instead. The WCW Legend hasn't wrestled since WrestleMania 33 but is looking to be in fantastic shape, so even though this is a first time meeting between the two men, why wasn't it made a loser retires match?
The Undertaker can't have many more matches or opponents left, he's been hinting at retirement for so long that it's just expected now, whilst many already believed that Goldberg had retired, so a stipulation would have allowed more eyes on the product. Given their back and forth this week on Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live, could there be a stipulation added?
#2. Roman Reigns vs Shane McMahon should be no disqualification
It's likely that Shane McMahon will bring backup in the form of Drew McIntyre and The Revival ahead of his match against Roman Reigns, which means that this bout could end in disqualification and give a less than satisfying ending.
At this point, Roman Reigns has to have realized that he needs a backup plan of his own, so if Shane McMahon comes out and announces that the match is no no-disqualification, then McIntyre and The Revival can freely become involved, but Reigns will then have back up in the form of his cousins, The Usos.
There are a number of interesting singles matches on the card for tonight's show, but there are no stipulations, something that the Saudi Arabian audience usually laps up, so expect this to change closer to the show or as part of the show itself.
#1. The first ever women's match in The Middle East
The Women's Revolution hasn't been pushed as hard this year since WWE announced that there would be no all-women's pay-per-view following last year's Evolution. Many fans believed that this was because the company was hoping to get permission from Saudi Arabia's government to have the women perform as part of Super ShowDown instead.
There is no word on if this will be allowed yet since Alexa Bliss and Natalya have both made the trip over to The Middle East alongside Renee Young, who made history last year just in case they are given the green light to perform. Even if they aren't it's thought that they will be allowed to be part of the kickoff show panel which means there will at least be some female involvement in the show.
