The heart of the matter

As per Shepard, WWE's Super Show-Down, which will be held at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia, is “going to be a beast”. The show will be similar to the Greatest Royal Rumble which was held on April 27, 2018.

The WWE also want to hold next year's Royal Rumble at a big venue, and the report suggests that Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona is the location shortlisted for the mega event, and the WWE consider Arizona region as a "great market".
