On the latest edition of his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler announced that he and Jim Ross would reunite as the announcing team for the 4/27 Greatest Royal Rumble event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. As we reported earlier today, the event will air on the WWE Network. On his podcast, Lawler also stated the event would live on television in Saudi Arabia.
The show is slated to feature the first 50-competitor Royal Rumble match and is the first event being produced as part of a new ten-year pact with Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia’s social and economic reform program. Sources within WWE have told PWInsider.com that the company is making “every move possible” to ensure that the first event as part of that agreement is a “massive, impactful” show as the company is set for quite a nice payday over the next decade for producing and bringing the events to the country.
PWInsider.com had been told that the company is already working on creative plans for the event, which include bringing over as many major names as possible, including surprises. WWE has already announced that John Cena, Triple H, Roman Reigns, AJ Styles, Braun Strowman, The New Day, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt and Shinsuke Nakamura will be appearing and that there will be seven championship matches on the event, announcing every championship with the exception of the Raw and Smackdown Women's championship.
