WWE returns to Saudi Arabia on Thursday for another event—Super ShowDown—as part of its 10-year agreement with the country’s government. 

The company’s last trip to the kingdom was on Oct. 31 for Crown Jewel, which was notable for Cain Velasquez’s WWE debut, a stunt match featuring heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury and a much-maligned match between “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt and Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship. 

It was also memorable for the protracted travel delay that became a breeding ground for conspiracy theories. WWE’s charter plane was grounded on the tarmac for hours and performers scheduled to work SmackDown the following day in Buffalo were forced to miss the show. WWE said the delay was due to a mechanical issue but that did not thwart speculation that the company’s traveling party was being held against its will in the country. 

WWE will hope Thursday’s show goes off without a hitch and everyone is able to make it to Boston for SmackDown on Friday. 

Thursday’s show features five title matches, including “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt vs. the returning legend Goldberg. 

“I respect Bray as an athlete and a performer,” Goldberg told SI.com on Wednesday. “His character ‘The Fiend’ is an unstoppable force. I left a pretty lasting impression on the people that were watching, and Bray is a special enough athlete to do what I did back in the day.

“And I like the storyline. I never had a rematch. I’m not afraid of any human being on the planet, so that might be a difference between myself and the people he’s faced before. If I’m not afraid of Brock Lesnar, I’m not afraid of anyone.”

There are also rumors that another legend will be making the trip to Saudi Arabia to potentially challenge one of the active stars on the card to a WrestleMania match.
