The next WWE Championship defense is now official for Brock Lesnar for the next PPV named Super ShowDown that takes place later this month. As reported earlier, The Conqueror is contractually obligated to perform in each of the Saudi shows. Hence, he will have to visit the middle-east country and deliver a money match before receiving a lucrative paycheck.

Royal Rumble Rematch Announced For Next Week’s WWE Raw
Seth Rollins digested a massive Superplex off the top rope to get out of the ring. Ricochet then nailed the 630-splash on Lashley to pick up the pinfall win. But his celebration after this significant win was cut short courtesy of the champion, himself.
WWE Hall Of Famer Sting To Return For Super ShowDown 2020
Brock Lesnar attacked Ricochet after the match on WWE Raw to put him down with the F5 and end the show. This was not the first time that these two had a staredown. Lesnar previously dropped Ricochet with a low blow a few weeks back. They were also in a 30-Man Royal Rumble Match where Lesnar received a low blow from Ricochet. Then a Claymore Kick from Drew McIntyre eliminated Lesnar out of the ring.
Following this altercation, WWE.com confirmed the new contest for Super ShowDown with the following comments,
“At WWE Super ShowDown, Ricochet will attempt to leap into the belly of The Beast and emerge victorious when he battles Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship.
With WrestleMania drawing closer and 2020 Men’s Royal Rumble Match winner Drew McIntyre primed for a championship bout at WrestleMania, The Conqueror refuses to sit idly by and wait for The Showcase of The Immortals for his next title fight. Instead, he will journey to Riyadh and put his WWE Title on the line against a whole new kind of challenger.”
