WWE is pulling out all of the stops for their upcoming the Greatest Royal Rumble event.
The sports entertainment company will be holding the show at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Friday, April 27. For the first time ever, the Royal Rumble match will feature 50 WWE Superstars.
John Cena, Triple H, Roman Reigns, AJ Styles, Braun Strowman, The New Day, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt, and Shinsuke Nakamura have already been announced for the show.
You can add former WWE Champion Chris Jericho’s name to the ongoing list of talents that will be working the show. PWinsider.com is reporting that after the WWE contacted him to appear at the event, all signs point to him working the show. As of this writing, there’s no word yet on if this will be a one night return or the beginning of another run for him under the WWE banner.
Jericho was last seen on WWE television during a backstage segment with Elias at the 25 Anniversary episode of Monday Night Raw in January. He last wrestled in a WWE ring since July of 2016. Since then, Jericho made several surprise appearances for New Japan Pro Wrestling including his match against Kenny Omega at the Wrestle Kingdom event at the Tokyo Dome.
