About as simple as they get this one. WWE normally use Mansoor on the Saudi Arabia shows, regardless of what he's currently up to on NXT, and thus the expectation was that he'd make another "surprise" appearance in front of a receptive home crowd. Initial suggestions were that he'd factor into the Tuwaiq Trophy match somehow, but there's been no confirmation at the time of publishing.

Thankfully though, Mansoor himself has been doing the press tours ahead of the show and revealed that, yes, he'd be appearing in some capacity. Speaking to Arab News about his previous matches he said; “I know I will be competing at Super Showdown, but I haven’t found out who my opponent will be yet. But I get the feeling that now it’s going to be a bit more of an even playing field, where both of us are going to be able to feel each other out and see what we’re going into.”

While participation in the tournament remains a possibility, it's far more likely he'll be presented as the homegrown savior after another ill-advised antagonistic heel segment. Could it be the Davari Brothers again? The Bollywood Boys? Or possibly some villainous UN inspectors demanding to see the security camera footage from inside an embassy. Boooooo!
