In looking at the WWE's schedule of pay-per-views, there are the mainstays, including Wrestlemania, Summerslam, Survivor Series, and the Royal Rumble. There are newer traditions to be expected, including Money In The Bank, Elimination Chamber, TLC, and Hell In A Cell.
Then there are ones which have come and gone, including No Mercy, Payback, and Great Balls Of Fire. Or if we go back even further, we can talk about old ones like Cyber Sunday, Bragging Rights, Judgment Day, and the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

Is the WWE Greatest Royal Rumble slated to be an annual event? Is it being done for the sake of expanding the WWE further into Saudi Arabia and the Middle East as a whole? Is it the sign of the Royal Rumble no longer just being a once-a-year speciality match?
None of these questions have a clear answer attached to them, as we do not know if the WWE Greatest Royal Rumble is slated to be an inaugural event, or the plan is for it to be a one-time occurrence.
