WWE Greatest Royal Rumble Live Updates:ย After a wait of 30 years, the WWE has finally managed to travel to the desert land of Saudi Arabia. The Greatest Royal Rumble Event, which will feature a mammoth 50-man Royal Rumble contest, will headline the live show which will take place the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Apart from the Rumble fight, all the titles will also be up or grabs, with the Beast Incarnate’s showdown against The Big Dog Roman Reigns grabbing the headline for the WWE Universal Title. But this time, the two will compete inside a steel cage match. Getting locked inside a giant steel structure with the beast? It certainly does not sound like a great idea for Roman Reigns. Can he survive the night? Meanwhile, the Super Athlete Rusev will compete in a Casket match against the Deadman The Undertaker. He might be looking to survive the night as well.

Highlights
What an entrance from the leader of the Cenation - John Cena. He enters surrounded by dozens of his fans - kids from Saudi Arabia. And Cena's message to the fans - "to have fun!"
THE FIGHT IS ON!
The Cerebral Assassin Triple H has arrived at the King Abdullah Stadium and he looks absolutely ready for a battle. He looks to be in a terrific shape and it seems he wants to impress the capacity crowd. It is truly historic.
King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabai looks absolutely stunning with over 70,000 people jam packed in the stadium. This looks awesome! Are you ready for the big night?
ARE YOU READY!?
It is time to play the Game - the first fight will see two generations collide - as 14-time World Champion Triple H takes on 16-time World Champion John Cena in the first fight. Who will win the clash of Titans!?
Brock Lesnar's advocate Paul Heyman believes that Brock Lesnar will retain his Universal Title against The Big Dog Roman Reigns. "Brock Lesnar will remain the Universal Champion after tonight, it is not a prediction - it is a spoiler," Heyman said.
Here are a bunch of famous people at a dinner in Saudi Arabia - Can you recognise who these are?
AJ Styles' rivalry with Shinsuke Nakamura has gone extremely bitter with Nakamura's recent change in attitude. He has blind sided Styles for weeks now, hitting him with low blows from behind. Styles will be putting his belt on the line and he would be eager to retain and achieve his redemption against the King of Strong Style.
The Bar's Sheamus attempted to imitate Woken's Matt Hardy's 'Wunnnddeerrfulll!' expression but the original Hardy is not impressed. Here is what Sheamus did:
India's own Jinder Mahal will be competing at the Greatest Royal Rumble as he looks to reclaim his United States title in a rematch against Jeff Hardy. And the Modern Day Maharaja is confident that he will be able to bring the title home. "I have known about tonight for WEEKS. Am I concerned? I am confident that I will walk out of Saudi Arabia as United States Champion," he said in an interview to WWE.
The Bulgarian Brute Rusev Day thinks he will be able to bury the deadman in the Casket at Greatest Royal Rumble. Here is what he said in a tweet:
In all the excitement of The Undertaker's Casket match - let us not forget - the all important Ladder match between Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins, The Miz, Samoa Joe and Finn Balor. Who will win? Well the Miz thinks he is AWESOME! Do you agree?
Triple H has a message for John Cena before the big fight - He wants the 16-time World Champion to bring his "A-GAME!"
The United States Champion Jeff Hardy will take on India's own Jinder Mahal as the Modern Day Maharaja will look to reclaim the title back. Will he do it? Here is what he has to say:
The Greatest Royal Rumble Kick off show panel is here and it is Byron Saxton with Hall of Famers Booker T and Jerry the King Lawler! These are legends right there. The Show is ON!
WWE Women's wrestlers will not be in action in Saudi Arabai. Triple H addressed the issue earlier and said that every land has its limitations but one should see the opportunity. But this will not stop the WWE Women wrestlers to cheer for the WWE Wrestlers. Here is what the Queen Charlotte has to say:
Roman Reigns will take on Brock Lesnar - and it seems like he is holding no punches back for now. The Big Dog is ready for fight. Will he lift the WWE Universal title?
The 50-man Royal Rumble will also see the return of former WWE Champion Chris Jericho - he has been away from the WWE ring for almost a year and he will look to mark a return with a win in the big match. Here is what he has to say before the fight:
Guess who will be competing tonight in 50-man Royal Rumble? It's the former WWE Champion Rey Mysterio! Here is what the the 6-1-9 star has to say:
