Bryan was interviewed by Al Arabiya English two days before being cleared and said that the Greatest Royal Rumble event could be even greater than WrestleMania.
In case you didn’t know
The Greatest Royal Rumble will feature a 50-man Royal Rumble match and seven championship matches – including the Intercontinental Championship, Cruiserweight Championship, United States Championship, Raw Tag Team Championships, SmackDown Tag Team Championships, Universal Championship and the WWE Championship.
The heart of the matter
Bryan said he was really excited about the Greatest Royal Rumble because it will show WWE’s reach around the world.
The title “Greatest Royal Rumble” evoked a powerful message to fans in Saudi Arabia that WWE is invested in producing a great show. If it’s successful, they’ll be more in the future, Bryan said.
The 50-man Royal Rumble will be the largest Rumble match in WWE history and will require the company to bring both the Raw and SmackDown rosters, Bryan said.
What’s next?
The Greatest Royal Rumble will emanate from the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and will take place on Friday, April 27.
The show will be broadcast on the WWE Network and could feature the American Dragon back in action at the event.
Author’s take
WrestleMania is a big deal for fans in the US who will get to attend, but the Greatest Royal Rumble will be huge for the Middle East.
Either way, what a time to be a wrestling fan.
