One of the biggest matches in WWE history will be held on Friday 27th April as a 50 man Royal Rumble takes place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

There have been 30 and 40 man Royal Rumble matches, but this will be the first time 50 WWE stars compete in the legendary event.

The likes of John Cena, Triple H, Roman Reigns, AJ Styles, Braun Strowman, The New Day, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura are set to feature, although the stakes of the match have not been revealed yet.


A typical Royal Rumble winner will have the opportunity to face the champion of their choice at Wrestlemania, and recent winner Shinsuke Nakamura will square off with AJ Styles at Wrestlemania in April.



This event is part of a 10-year strategic multiplatform partnership in support of Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia’s social and economic reform program.

‘The Greatest Royal Rumble will be a spectacle of historic proportions,’ said Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman & CEO.

‘Our partnership with the Saudi General Sports Authority reflects a long-term commitment to present WWE’s world-class entertainment to a global audience on a grander scale than ever before.’

Television rights for the event are yet to be revealed, but it is most likely that the show will stream live on the WWE Network.
