When WWE first announced they would be creating a 50-man Royal Rumble for fans at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the majority of the WWE Universe likely thought it was a prank, as it surpasses the annual 30-man Royal Rumble in numbers.
However, not only is the show happening, but it has a huge list of matches. Before we get to that though, the latest news we have learned is that fans will have the opportunity to watch the ‘Greatest Royal Rumble’ show on the WWE Network on Friday, April 27 at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT which will be preceded by a special, one-hour Kickoff show.
The timeslot is vastly different than the regular schedule for big shows that WWE has, but the difference here is due to the timezone in Saudi Arabia.
The show will feature matches including John Cena vs. Triple H, The Hardy Boyz vs. Sheamus & Cesaro and an Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match featuring Seth Rollins, The Mi, Finn Balor and Samoa Joe.
The card is subject to change, with the ‘WrestleMania’ results playing heavily into the structure of the ‘Greatest Royal Rumble’ show.
You can see the first five competitors of the ‘Greatest Royal Rumble’ revealed below.
