It was confirmed on today's Wrestling Observer Radio that The Undertaker is traveling with WWE to Saudi Arabia for this Thursday's show. John Pollock of Post Wrestling also reported that Undertaker is currently scheduled to appear at Super ShowDown.

Undertaker vs. AJ Styles is planned for WrestleMania 36 but hasn't been officially announced yet.

Styles will be part of the Tuwaiq Trophy gauntlet match at Super ShowDown. Andrade, Bobby Lashley, Erick Rowan, R-Truth, and Rey Mysterio are the other wrestlers set for the gauntlet match.

Undertaker defeated Goldberg in the main event of last year's Super ShowDown. The only other time that Undertaker wrestled in 2019 was when he teamed with Roman Reigns against Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre at Extreme Rules in July.

Last October's Crown Jewel event is the only WWE show in Saudi Arabia that The Undertaker hasn't appeared at since WWE began their 10-year partnership with the country.

Mohammed Abdu Arena on the Boulevard in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia is hosting Super ShowDown this Thursday. The show will begin at noon Eastern time.
