WWE has been promoting the Greatest Royal Rumble event on TV for weeks now and the company has announced several big and interesting matches for the show including Casket match of the Undertaker and John Cena vs Triple H.
Though the biggest attraction of the show has to be the Greatest Royal Rumble match. It was announced long before any other fight for the event and will see 50 participants battling each other in a battle royal.
However, two big questions regarding the match people had in mind were how the bout will play out with so many contestants and what the winner of the match will receive.
In a latest tweet, Justin Barrasso of sports illustrated cleared one of these doubts and revealed that the match will play out like the regular Royal Rumble with contestants entering one by one:
Confirmed with #WWE: Saudi Arabia's Greatest Royal Rumble match will have a Royal Rumble format with separate entrances, as opposed to a battle royal with all competitors starting in the ring.

Although in the following tweet, he claimed that the officials are yet to decided what the winner of the Rumble will be rewarded with, opposed to the guaranteed title match of the Traditional Royal Rumble:
In a follow-up, WWE rep stated that the company has yet to decide on the prize (title shot, etc) for the winner of the Saudi Arabia Rumble

It’s a surprising news as the Greatest Royal Rumble was the first match to be announced for the show and officials had plenty of time to figure out a reward for the winner.
Now there are less than two weeks remaining for the event so it’d be interesting to see what plan the company comes up with in such a short time.
The Greatest Royal Rumble will take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on April 27th. Click here to check out an updated match card for the event.
