Intercontinental Championship Match Booked For WWE Super ShowDown

Yesterday it was announced by WWE that Bobby Lashley will be taking on Braun Strowman at Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia on June 7. This was the fourth match announced for the event, with a 50-man Battle Royal, Triple H vs. Randy Orton and Goldberg vs. The Undertaker also taking place on the show.

However, a match that fans will be far more excited for was revealed by WWE on Twitter early this morning, with Finn Balor defending his Intercontinental Championship against fellow Smackdown star Andrade. However, this is no ordinary Finn, with WWE advertising an appearance from “The Demon”. This most likely spoils the winner of the match, with Balor unbeaten on the main roster when adopting his alter-ego.

The pair have been building up to a feud since the week after WrestleMania 35, where Andrade defeated Finn Balor in a non-title match on Raw. The following week, Andrade made the switch back to Smackdown and was bested in his return bout by the former Universal Championship. This past week on Smackdown, Andrade won a fatal-four way match against Finn Balor, Randy Orton and Ali, pinning the Irishman after a Hammerlock DDT to secure the victory.

Before WWE Super ShowDown, both men will be focused on tonight’s Money In The Bank pay-per-view event, where the talented duo are just two of the eight participants in the men’s Money In The Bank ladder match.
