With less than 24 hours to go before WWE Super Showdown things are certainly hotting up in Riyadh.
After lots of recent rumour and speculation, WWE confirmed The Undertaker has been spotted in Saudi Arabia.
As yet, the Deadman’s involvement in the capital is unknown – but just his very presence is enough to send the local fans into raptures.
Elsewhere, local hero Manoor finally has his match confirmed for the Mohammed Abdu Arena on the Boulevard tomorrow night.
The winner of the biggest Battle Royal in history, and a breakout victory over Cesaro, Mansoor will now taking on further WWE royalty in Dolph Ziggler.
Another veteran of the company, The Show Off will certainly offer a stern test of Mansoor’s in-ring ability, in a match that once-again could see the local talent steal the show, as it were.
Meanwhile, fresh from their RAW rivalry, Humberto Carillo and Angel Garza will go head-to-head, while the Viking Raiders will take on The O.C.’s Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson.
It has been a busy day for Garza who joined up with United States champ Andrade, Bobby Roode, and Performance Centre talents from Saudi Arabia, Hussein and Faisal to visit Al Nassr football club.
The superstars took to the home of the Saudi Professional League champions, touring their facilities before taking to the pitch with some first team heroes such as Ahmed Musa and Abderrazak Hamdallah, before handing over a coveted WWE title to Maicon Pereira Roque.
The stars even got to take a few penalties – with varying success.
