WWE Super ShowDown (originally stylized asSuper Show-Down) was aprofessional wrestlingevent produced byWWE, an American-basedpromotion. It was broadcastlive and available only throughpay-per-view (PPV) and WWE'slivestreaming service, theWWE Network. The2020 event was the last event held under the titular name, with the 2021 event ultimately getting postponed. Since then, there have not been any further events scheduled under the name.
Established in 2018, each of the three iterations of the event only took place in countries outside theUnited States. Thefirst event was held inAustralia and was WWE's first and only PPV event held in the country until the 2024Elimination Chamber event. The final two events were held inSaudi Arabia as part of a 10-year partnership in support ofSaudi Vision 2030.
In June 2018, the Americanprofessional wrestling promotionWWE announced that it would be returning toAustralia to hold apay-per-view (PPV) andWWE Network event, which would be the company's first PPV event produced in the country. The event was titledSuper Show-Down and was held atMelbourne Cricket Ground inMelbourne,Victoria on October 6, 2018. Although WWE had held tours in Australia, the company's last big event to be held in the country was theGlobal Warning Tour in 2002.[1][2]
Also in early 2018, WWE began a 10-year strategic multiplatform partnership with theGeneral Sports Authority in support ofSaudi Vision 2030,Saudi Arabia's social and economic reform program.[3][4] The first PPV and WWE Network event under this partnership, theGreatest Royal Rumble, was held at theKing Abdullah Sports City's King Abdullah International Stadium inJeddah on April 27, 2018.[5][6] In 2019, WWE heldSuper ShowDown (stylized without a dash) as their third event under this partnership, and subsequently the second event in the Super ShowDown chronology. The event was held on June 7, 2019, also at the King Abdullah International Stadium.[7] Asecond Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia was then held on February 27, 2020, at the Mohammed Abdu Arena on the Boulevard inRiyadh, thus making the event a recurring event in the Saudi Arabian partnership.[8]
Due to the ongoingCOVID-19 pandemic that began in mid-March 2020, an event was not held in 2021. COVID restrictions were lifted later that year, and WWE returned to Saudi Arabia with theCrown Jewel event in October.[9] Super ShowDown was not included in WWE's initial PPV slate for 2022;[10] the company's first PPV in Saudi Arabia for the year would ultimately beElimination Chamber in February,[11] and their only other Saudi Arabian PPV for 2022 was announced asCrown Jewel in November.[12]
