The Intercontinental Championship will be on the line at WWE's next show in Saudi Arabia.

WWE has announced that Finn Balor will defend his Intercontinental title against Andrade at Super ShowDown in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Friday, June 7. Balor will use his "Demon" character for the match.

Balor dressed as The Demon when he won the Intercontinental title from Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 35 last month.

Balor and Andrade will both be entrants in Sunday's men's Money in the Bank ladder match. They've been involved in a feud against each other since the Superstar Shake-up. Balor and the Intercontinental title moved to SmackDown in the Shake-up, while Andrade and Zelina Vega initially went to Raw before going back to SmackDown.

Super ShowDown is taking place at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah and will air live on the WWE Network starting at 2 p.m. Eastern time on June 7. It's the third show in WWE's 10-year deal with the Saudi General Sports Authority.

Here's the updated card for Super ShowDown (Roman Reigns, WWE Champion Kofi Kingston, Universal Champion Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, and Brock Lesnar are also advertised):

Goldberg vs. The Undertaker
Triple H vs. Randy Orton
Braun Strowman vs. Bobby Lashley
Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor defending against Andrade
50-man battle royal

Well that spoils the surprise, first of all. And second... please let it be a better version than what was at Mania. That gimmick was my favourite in all of NXT and they’ve actually made me dread seeing it on the main roster.

Has Rusev even been on TV in the past month?

He was part of that big shmozz with the New Day and Kevin Owens for like a blink, I think. But that’s it.

It's not relevant, anyway. The defense is against Andrade. That's what I get for quickly glancing at the picture and not reading the article.

I didn’t read all of the article either, I just answered your question.
