5 Possible surprise entrants for the Greatest Royal Rumble match

We're just a few days away from the biggest WWE event ever held in Asia, the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia. The show will be a whopping 6 hours long which is almost the same length as WrestleMania.

The main event will be the 50 man Royal Rumble match. With 50 Superstars taking part we can expect a number of surprises. A number of returns have already been revealed (some not officially) like The Great Khali and Rey Mysterio.

What surprises can we expect? We can definitely expect a couple of WWE's Superstars of Asian origin take part and also some legends of yesteryear.


#5 Mahabali Shera

When Mahabali Shera signed for WWE in 2018 it came as a shock to a number of fans, but shock soon turned into elation for Shera's fans. Shera is a former TNA wrestler who started his career in Ring Ka King under the name Khoya.

Shera has worked NXT live events already and with Shera being Indian, we can definitely expect him to make an appearance in Jeddah.

But will Jeddah do the Shera Shuffle? Unlikely.

#4 Jeff Jarrett

Jeff Jarrett was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame this year, something many WWE fans thought would never happen.

Now with the water under the bridge and WWE needs to fill up 50 Superstars for the Greatest Royal Rumble match, it could be the perfect one-off opportunity for Jarrett to return to a WWE ring after almost two decades.

#3 Jeet Rama and Kishan Raftar

Jeet Rama and Kishan Raftar have been training in the Performance Center and appearing at NXT Live Events since signing in 2015. Rama is a former amateur wrestler while Raftar is a former Kabaddi player.

Rama and Raftar are both Indian and have appeared at Live Events in India. It is safe to say that at least one of them could make an appearance at the GRR.

#2 Aleister Black

Who will represent NXT in the Greatest Royal Rumble? With 50 men needed for the GRR match, some NXT talent could be slotted in. Amongst them, at the top of the list, has to be current NXT Champion Aleister Black.

Black has been dominant in NXT and won the NXT Championship from Andrade 'Cien' Almas at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans.

#1 Undertaker

This one is a little out there, I'll admit it. Undertaker will already be facing Rusev in a Casket Match earlier in the night, so how much chance is there really for the Deadman to do double duty?

However, Undertaker is one of the biggest stars in WWE history so he could still pull off a 2-minute cameo in the Greatest Royal Match.
