Saudi Arabia shows usually brings back the old school legends in the scene and involves them in big matches that appeared to be a major treat for the local fans of the country. The original pro-wrestling fanbase may not be thrilled regarding these lineups especially after the blunders in 2018 Crown Jewel or Super ShowDown edition 2019 where The Undertaker vs. Goldberg ended in a bizarre manner.

Potential Big Title Match Planned For WWE WrestleMania 36
Despite the fact, WWE did not back down from planning two big matches for Super ShowDown 2020 that takes place later this month. Goldberg will be performing on the show in a marquee match as per the storyline began on SmackDown. But the original plan featuring him was pretty different than the currently executed one.
WWE Super Showdown 2020 Start Time, Match Card & New Venue Details
According to The Dirty Sheets, the following two matches were originally scheduled to take place at WWE Super ShowDown 2020 on February 27 in Saudi Arabia:
– Goldberg vs. King Corbin
– Universal Championship Match: The Fiend (c) vs. Sting
It was earlier noted that WWE Hall of Famer Sting flew to Houston, Texas during Royal Rumble 2020 weekend to negotiate a returning deal with WWE. Although the former WCW legend won’t be appearing on the show, he is said to be contractually obligated to perform at one point. Below is the reason why WWE officials decided not to include Sting for Super ShowDown, (courtesy wwfoldschool.com)
“However, WWE officials decided not to use Goldberg and Sting at the same event and went ahead with only Goldberg working the upcoming Super ShowDown 2020 pay-per-view.”
With Sting out of the picture at Super ShowDown 2020, Goldberg was given the green signal to compete in a match. It is a smart booking from WWE decision-makers as they could save a marquee match for a later date that could cause sell-out for another pay-per-view event. We would have to wait and see where The Icon finally gets injected into a storyline perspective.
