WWE Superstars Reflect on Last Year's Spectacular Super Showdown Event in Saudi Arabia

United Arab Emirates -  March 11, 2021:   WWE’s Super ShowDown took place in Riyadh, bringing some of the brand’s biggest Superstars together as they produced a show to remember for Saudi fans, and one year on, The Miz, Bobby Lashley, The Street Profits and Bayley have been sharing their memories from the event.

Super ShowDown, which featured some of WWE’s all-time greats, including The Undertaker and Goldberg, along with Saudi-born Superstar Mansoor, was a huge success.

The event saw The Miz reunite with his former tag team partner, John Morrison, who had last wrestled with WWE in 2011, as the duo overcame The New Day to win the SmackDown Tag Team Championship.

Reflecting on his experience, The Miz said: “Another big memory was the presence of real-life fans in the audience cheering who they love. It has always been interesting going to different countries, observing different cultures and seeing fans understand what we do. This is what makes it fun and encourages us to be interactive when performing. It is always incredible.”

Bobby Lashley, who recently claimed the WWE Title, also cherishes his time at Super ShowDown, the second time he performed in Saudi: “In Saudi, the venue was huge and the energy was high which made the matches incredible and so full of life, because we were able to feed off the crowd.”
 
The biggest highlight, for Lashley, was “the perfect synchronization of the crowd, the stage itself and the ring, as it almost had that WrestleMania feel”.
 
For Bayley, one of WWE’s most high-profile females, visiting Saudi Arabia for the first time was a special experience, particularly due to the way the Superstars were treated everywhere they went. She made history by competing against Naomi in the first-ever WWE women’s title match in KSA  – and won – ensuring she looks back on the trip with fantastic memories.
 
The Street Profits, who faced Seth Rollins and Murphy for the RAW Tag Team Championship, said they enjoyed a multitude of elements of the trip, including the food, shopping malls and weather. However, the most memorable part of their time in Saudi was most definitely the energy and enthusiasm provided by the fans, a theme consistent with all of the Superstars as they reflected on the event.
