There have been a few assumptions and best guesses but now it’s official – The Greatest Royal Rumble event is definitely airing on the WWE Network and seemingly live! Several news outlets had already reported this as a done deal thanks to a quote from Roman Reigns in a podcast interview. In truth, Roman was merely giving his best guess as to what was happening with the event. Now, however, the WWE Network website has outright confirmed that WWE Network subscribers will be getting at least one extra blockbuster show this year!

If you attempt to cancel your WWE Network subscription via PC, you will be taken a page reminding you of the benefits of sticking around. This includes a graphic showing upcoming pay-per-views and big events. There is an image of this below:

As you can see, Greatest Royal Rumble is right there between WrestleMania 34 and Backlash, confirming its place on the WWE Network event schedule!

The Greatest Royal Rumble is a special large-scale stadium show set to take place from the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on April 27th. Although details on the wrestling card itself are still relatively vague, WWE press releases have confirmed plans for 7 championship matches for the WWE Championship, Universal Championship, Intercontinental Championship, United States Championship, Raw Tag Team Championship, SmackDown Tag Team Championship and Cruiserweight Championship, alongside a super-sized 50-man royal rumble match. The currently promoted start time is 7 PM AST (12 PM EST/5 PM GMT), though it is currently unknown if this is just the stadium start time or the broadcast start.

Of course, WWE Network News will provide further details as this unique event approaches in the coming weeks.
