March 24, 20186 yr Author In a new update This has being upgraded to ppv in Britain and Ireland when it will air live at 5pm on sky sports. Not sure about America. If it was live it would be 11pm. It will be airing on the WWE Network. Also, as mentioned, they are advertising seven title matches for the show as the Universal, WWE, Intercontinental, United States, RAW Tag Team, SmackDown Tag Team, and Cruiserweight Titles will all be defended.
March 27, 20186 yr I love that they spoiled a WM match by advertising the bar as tag champs vs the Hardys (/broken hardys?). Of course they could just change it to non title after WM, but that sounds like Bar are winning.
March 27, 20186 yr Author I love that they spoiled a WM match by advertising the bar as tag champs vs the Hardys (/broken hardys?). Of course they could just change it to non title after WM, but that sounds like Bar are winning. Yeah. That was my first thought too. At least with the Intercontinental Title match, one of three people in the match will most likely be the Intercontinental Champion going into the match. They also kind of spoiled the returns of Jeff Hardy and Samoa Joe as well since we can now assume that Jeff and Joe will be returning either at WrestleMania or the night after WrestleMania.
March 29, 20186 yr Well it's pretty obvious anyway, given Jeff was on Ultimate Deletion and he's been cleared. Joe is real close too, if not already cleared, so no surprise there. I've been wondering if The Bar wouldn't manage to make it out of WrestleMania with the Tag belts. I mean, Strowman is booked strong enough to beat both of them by himself but having a partner gives him a liability and a way to lose without hurting him. Probably for the best, though I was kind've expecting them to give him the gold and let him be occupied with that for awhile until they're ready to move him back into the Universal title scene. Anyway, I wonder who will win the Rumble and if they'll do a prize for it. I also wonder if we'll be as excited once we hit entry 45 or if the crowd will be dying down because of how long the rumble is gonna be. I wonder if they'll do 1.5 minute intervals still or if they're gonna shorten it to 1 to make it not take forever.
March 29, 20186 yr As for who is Brauns partner. Apparently it's going to be Rey Mesterio according to leaked backstage talk.
April 3, 20186 yr Official announced entries from WWE.com Daniel Bryan Kane Big Show Braun Strowman Bray Wyatt The Brian Kendrick
April 3, 20186 yr Rey Mysterio is injured, I thought? Brian Kendrick? What the hell? I guess we'll see some other cruiserweights in there too. Who do we think's gonna win? Now that we know DBRY is back, I kinda feel like if he doesn't win this, they might be missing an opportunity. Then again, this is gonna be in Saudi Arabia and I have no idea if they'll be as fond of him as we are here. But that's who I'd pick to win it. But since there's no announced prize for the "Greatest Rumble Ever", I wouldn't be surprised if they make Roman Reigns win it.
April 5, 20186 yr Geez. They're testing the waters with a full blown PPV in Saudi Arabia without actually calling it one
April 5, 20186 yr Have they been advertising it during Raw/Smackdown? I haven't watched much since Summerslam, I just read results and watch PPV's right now.
April 6, 20186 yr Not really. On their app and wwe.com mostly. Mind you I haven't seen the last 3 raw/sd. Just read results
April 6, 20186 yr I imagine the winner will face the big brand champ at Summer slam as that is the big event of the summer.
April 7, 20186 yr Have they been advertising it during Raw/Smackdown? I haven't watched much since Summerslam, I just read results and watch PPV's right now. I wouldn't expect them to promote it until after WrestleMania, they might even plug it at WrestleMania (like they usually do for the next PPV)
April 11, 20186 yr 50 Man Royal Rumble updated official entrants Daniel Bryan, Braun Strowman, Bray Wyatt, Big Show, Kane, Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, all three members of The New Day, Elias, Baron Corbin, Apollo, Shelton Benjamin, Sin Cara, Chad Gable, Goldust, Titus O’Neil, Mojo Rawley, Dolph Ziggler and 30 more competitors to be announced.
WWE will present The Greatest Royal Rumble on April 27 from King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The show will air live on the WWE Network at 12PM EST and will also air on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK.
