WWE announced a "Tuwaiq Trophy Gautlet Match" for the 2/27 Super Showdown event featuring AJ Styles vs. R-Truth vs. Erick Rowan vs. Rusev vs. Bobby Lashley vs. WWE United States Champion Andrade in Riyadh, Saudi Aravia during Monday Night Raw.
The match is the first advertised in-ring appearance for AJ Styles since he suffered a separated shoulder taking a spear from Edge at the Royal Rumble, so that means WWE expects him back by 2/27 and it also means Styles will be cleared for Wrestlemania 36, his ultimate goal.
The match will also be the first appearance for Andrade since being suspended by the company for 30 days due to his first violation of the WWE Wellness Policy. WWE learned of Andrade's suspension on the morning of 1/27 with Andrade wrestling that night on Monday Night Raw. His suspension was officially announced on 1/28, so he'll be returning exactly 31 days after WWE learned of his suspension.
The Tuwaiq trophy is likely named for a mountain in Saudi Arabia.
The updated Super Showdown lineup features:
*WWE Champion Bray Wyatt vs. Bill Goldberg.
*WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Ricochet.
*WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champions The New Day vs. John Morrison & The Miz.
*Baron Corbin vs. Roman Reigns in a Steel Cage Match
