The much anticipated PPV in Saudi Arabia is just around the corner. Seven championships will be contested on the night along with the first ever 50-man Royal Rumble match.

Although there is so much on the card, there is always room for surprises. Here are the five shocking things which can happen at the King’s Abdullah Stadium.

#1 Nakamura “low-blows” his way to the Championship

The most humiliating way for the Championship to change hands.

Shinsuke Nakamura has made the low-blow his patent move. Since WrestleMania 34, AJ Styles has not been able to escape this maneuver.

It shouldn’t be a surprise if the Japanese wrestler relies on this “below the belt” attack to manifest an opportunity to win his maiden WWE Championship. As seen last week on SmackDown Live, it is a lethal way to set the opponent perfectly for the Kinshasa.

The “Phenomenal One” has to keep an eye on his opponent as well as on the referee. His adversary would love to capitalize on any split-second distraction made by the referee to steal the WWE championship.

#2 The Bar regains the titles and move back to Raw

It will be a new beginning for the Bar.
It will be a new beginning for the Bar.

The last one month was a roller-coaster ride for the Bar. They lost their match at WrestleMania against a team, which had a ten-year-old kid. Then they were traded to SmackDown Live.

They would like to get back in the game by regaining the Raw tag-team championships. Last week, they made it clear that they will move to Raw if they win the titles.

However, the former members of the “League of the Nations” will face the most bizarre opponents one could imagine. The “Deleters of the Worlds” are unpredictable and can ruin their plans to return to the Monday Nights.

#3 A veteran wins the Greatest Royal Rumble

The
The "Monster Among Men" deserves to win this match.

Over the years, the Royal Rumble match has been a perfect spotlight for the younger talents. It paves the way for the future Superstars to the top.

It will be a total disappointment if a veteran wins the 50-man Royal Rumble match. It is the only match in the history of its magnitude and hence will act as a catalyst to bring forward a budding wrestler.

It would be awesome to see a fresh face winning this once in a lifetime match. The possibilities are endless with the likes of Braun Strowman, Elias, Baron Corbin, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.

#4 The Undertaker competes for over ten minutes

This could be one of the shortest matches in Rusev's career.
This could be one of the shortest matches in Rusev's career.

The most anticipated match at WrestleMania 34 was the Undertaker vs. John Cena. However, the Deadman’s entrance lasted longer than the match itself.

It gives a clear indication that his match against Rusev is going to be a short affair. It is quite possible that Rusev will have to “Rest in Peace” in the casket without throwing a single punch.

If this match makes to double digits on the minute mark, it will be a surprise in itself. It will be interesting to see how the WWE creative team is going to pen down this match and make sure Rusev doesn’t suffer a big setback out of it.

#5 Roman Reigns escapes the cage (with some help)

Will Lesnar's run as the Champion come to an end?
Will Lesnar's run as the Champion come to an end?

The Steel Cage match presents the opportunity to win the match in a couple of unorthodox ways. One can climb over the walls or escape through the door to end the match.

WWE has a great chance to bring the Universal Championship to a full-time Superstar without sabotaging their part-time Megastar at the Greatest Royal Rumble. It will be the shock of the night if Bobby Lashley or Paul Heyman smashes the steel-door in Brock Lesnar’s face.

Not only it will set the storyline perfectly for the “Beast Incarnate” in the future, it will ensure that the “Big Dog” can go his separate way to face Samoa Joe at Backlash without having to worry about the rematch against the current champion.
