WWE returns to Saudi Arabia on Friday for another star-studded, controversial show. 

“Super ShowDown” (not to be confused with “Super Show-Down” held in Australia in October) is the third event under WWE’s 10-year agreement with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The multi-million-dollar deal with the oppressive kingdom has drawn criticism from both inside and outside the company

Promos for the show have touted Super ShowDown as “as good or better than WrestleMania.” The card includes three title matches, as well as a promised Money in the Bank cash-in from Brock Lesnar. Women have been barred from performing at previous WWE shows in Saudi Arabia but Alexa Bliss and Natalya made the trip this time and there are rumors that they may be allowed to have a match. A 50-man battle royale is also scheduled, with WWE’s lone Saudi wrestler—Mansoor—the heavy favorite.
