Two days removed from their confirmation that The Undertaker would appear on next week's Monday Night Raw, WWE have announced that Goldberg will be at SmackDown to hype his upcoming Super Showdown match with 'The Deadman.'

The two legends will collide in Saudi Arabia on 7 June. They are yet to go face-to-face ahead of the bout, and next week's scheduling means they may not even meet before they collide in the ring, as they're being advertised for separate brands.

Goldberg vs. Undertaker might be the peak of WWE's big bad banter booking when it comes to these Saudi shows. Bill re-retired after his WrestleMania 33 clash with Brock Lesnar, and frequently spoke of the horrible experience he had training throughout his comeback run. Meanwhile, 'Taker's most recent in-ring output has been nothing short of embarrassing. They're legends, and they'll likely sell tickets, but that WWE aren't even going to build this match via televised confrontations says it all.

Goldberg hasn't appeared on SmackDown since the show went live on Tuesday nights. At least his appearance might help pop a rating in this star-less era, and his comeback run was consistently enjoyable throughout.
