Greatest Royal Rumble[1] is an upcoming special professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event[2] and WWE Network event[3] promoted by WWE for their Raw and SmackDown brands. The event is scheduled to be held on April 27, 2018, at the King Abdullah Sports City's King Abdullah International Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.[1][4] The event is scheduled to include the first 50-man Royal Rumble match.[5]

Background

Since its creation in 1988 by Hall of Famer Pat Patterson, the Royal Rumble has been an annual event held by WWE and is typically shown on pay-per-view (PPV).[6] The event is highlighted by the Royal Rumble match, a battle royal whose participants enter at timed intervals.[7]

On March 5, 2018, WWE and the Saudi General Sports Authority announced the Greatest Royal Rumble, a live event to be held on April 27, 2018, at King Abdullah International Stadium, part of the King Abdullah Sports City, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.[8][9] The event is a part of a 10-year strategic multi-platform partnership between WWE and the Saudi General Sports Authority in support of Saudi Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia's social and economic reform program.[1][10]

On March 19, 2018, WWE scheduled seven championship matches for the event: the WWE Championship, Universal Championship, Intercontinental Championship, United States Championship, Raw Tag Team Championship, SmackDown Tag Team Championship, Cruiserweight Championship, will be contested.

As revealed on March 22, 2018, the event will broadcast on the WWE Network in the United States[3] and on pay-per-view via Sky Box Office in the United Kingdom.[2]
