A look at the start time, match card, live stream info and more for the 2019 edition of WWE Super ShowDown.
As part of the 10-year deal signed with the Saudi General Sports Authority that began last year with the Greatest Royal Rumble and Crown Jewel, WWE returns to Saudi Arabia this Friday for Super ShowDown from King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah.
WWE is hyping this pay-per-view as being just as big as or better than WrestleMania and there are currently nine matches scheduled for the main card, including the first-ever meeting between The Undertaker and Goldberg, two of the biggest names from the Monday Night War between WWE and WCW.
Both world titles will also be on the line at Super ShowDown with WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins taking on Baron Corbin and WWE Champion Kofi Kingston battling Dolph Ziggler. Both men will also have to be on alert with Brock Lesnar and his Money in the Bank briefcase lurking around the arena. The Intercontinental Championship will also be up for grabs as Finn Balor will be bringing out “The Demon” in his one-on-one confrontation with Andrade.
A 50-Man Battle Royal, the biggest in WWE history, and a number of grudge matches round out the card. Here’s everything you need to know about WWE Super ShowDown.

WWE Super ShowDown match card
The Lucha House Party vs. Lars Sullivan
After months of tormenting random competitors, Lars Sullivan makes his official in-ring debut at Super ShowDown in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match against The Lucha House Party, who have been Sullivan’s primary targets over the past few weeks.
Braun Strowman vs. Bobby Lashley
The winner of last year’s Greatest Royal Rumble in Jeddah, Braun Strowman returns to King Abdullah Sports City Stadium to take on Bobby Lashley in a clash of two of the biggest and strongest competitors in WWE. Strowman got the best of Lashley in an arm wrestling match on Monday Night Raw, but Lashley got the better of Braun afterward, showcasing his strength by using Strowman’s powerslam against him. Who will come out on top on Friday?
Roman Reigns vs. Shane McMahon
After knocking out Vince McMahon the night he debuted on SmackDown Live during the Superstar Shake-Up, Roman Reigns now finds himself in a battle with Shane McMahon, who didn’t take too kindly to Roman’s actions. With the help of Elias and Drew McIntyre recently, Shane has made life difficult for Reigns leading into this matchup and The Big Dog will be looking for a little payback.
50-Man Battle Royal
While all the participants have yet to be named, this 50-Man Battle Royal will likely feature the majority of the bigger names who don’t have another match on the Super ShowDown card and perhaps some stars from NXT as well.
WWE Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor vs. Andrade
After bringing the house (and each other) down at WWE Money in the Bank last month, Finn Balor and Andrade will once again get after one another, this time for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Balor will be bringing “The Demon” persona out for this match, which should delight the live crowd in Jeddah.
Triple H vs. Randy Orton
For the first time in more than nine years, former Evolution stablemates Triple H and Randy Orton will go one-on-one in a WWE ring. The two came face to face this past Monday on Raw and the tension is certainly still there. Easily two of the best to ever step foot inside the squared circle, as evidenced by the 27 world title reigns between them, pride is on the line in Jeddah in this marquee matchup.
WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins vs. Baron Corbin
After Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley took themselves out of a fatal four-way match to determine a new No. 1 contender for Seth Rollins’ WWE Universal Championship, Baron Corbin took advantage and defeated The Miz to earn this title shot on Friday. Corbin got some licks in on the champ this past Monday before Brock Lesnar finished things off, leaving Rollins in bad shape coming into Super ShowDown. Lesnar said he’d be cashing in the MITB briefcase in Jeddah so the winner of this match has to be ready for The Beast as well.
WWE Champion Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler
In a surprise return, Dolph Ziggler made his way back to WWE with a vicious beatdown of WWE Champion Kofi Kingston a few weeks back. Ziggler claims that the spot that Kingston is in should have been his and has been relentless in his pursuit of Kingston and the title. These two have plenty of history and are all set to clash once again this Friday with bigger stakes than ever before.
The Undertaker vs. Goldberg
In what was one of the dream matchups of the Monday Night War, The Undertaker and Goldberg will square off for the first time in history this Friday at Super ShowDown. Goldberg hasn’t been in the ring since losing the Universal Championship to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33 and The Undertaker returns to action for the first time since the last trip to Saudi Arabia last November when he and Kane lost to Triple H and Shawn Michaels. The two icons came face to face on Tuesday on SmackDown Live and seem ready to go.
