Despite only flying into Riyadh on Tuesday night, WWE wrestlers have taken time out of their busy schedules to explore the Saudi capital ahead of the Super ShowDown on Thursday evening.

WWE Superstars Andrade, Robert Roode and Angel Garza, along with Faisal Kurdi and Hussain Aldaqal, two Saudi recruits from the WWE Performance Centre, made a visit to the club of Saudi National League champions Al Nassr.

They met with players and staff and even participated in a penalty shootout. They also presented the club with a WWE championship belt.

Saudi star Mansoor, along with the Smackdown Tag Team Champions The New Day, took a visit to The Boulevard in Riyadh (also where the Super ShowDown will be held). They were able to enjoy the area and take photos in front of the fountains and shops as well as in front of artistic murals.
