The upcoming 50-man “Greatest Royal Rumble” event from Saudi Arabia will be featured on the WWE Network as special programming. RAW Superstar and WrestleMania 34 headliner Roman Reigns mentioned the news on Friday morning during an appearance on Jim Norton & Sam Roberts’ Sirius XM show.
Reigns told Jim and Sam that he hopes he isn’t spoiling anything, but, “I believe it’s going to be a huge network special.”
The Greatest Royal Rumble will beheld at the King Abdullah Sports City venue, which holds approximately 62,000 people. Talent announced for the event includes John Cena, Triple H, Roman Reigns, WWE Champion AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura.
WWE is pulling out all the stops to make the event a success – with Chris Jericho and The Undertaker rumored to be appearing as well.
The Greatest Royal Rumble is being co-presented by the Saudi General Sports Authority as part of a new long-term partnership with WWE.
“The Greatest Royal Rumble will be a spectacle of historic proportions,” said Vince McMahon when the event was first announced. “Our partnership with the Saudi General Sports Authority reflects a long-term commitment to present WWE’s world-class entertainment to a global audience on a grander scale than ever before.”
