WWE announces 50-man 'Greatest Royal Rumble'


By Rafael Bandayrel

The world's largest pro-wrestling promotion – together with the Saudi General Sports Authority – revealed Monday, Mar.5 (Tuesday, Mar. 6, Manila time) that it will bring a 50-man over-the-top battle royal, advertised as “The Greatest Royal Rumble” in the Middle East.

The event will be staged after WrestleMania, on April 27, at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The company has already advertised Roman Reigns, John Cena, Triple H, AJ Styles, Braun Strowman, The New Day, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt and Shinsuke Nakamura for show but did not specify who will be participating in the match.

The special event was created part of WWE’s 10-year multiplatform partnership in support of Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia’s social and economic reform program.
