WWE Greatest Royal Rumble: 5 Last-Minute Rumours

With the Greatest Royal Rumble just a matter of hours away, the rumour mill is on overdrive. With 7 title matches on the card as well as a 50-man Royal Rumble, let's take a look at the latest rumours.


5: Intercontinental and US titles switch brands

It looks like there could be a number of big title changes at the Greatest Royal Rumble. From these titles changes, two impactful changes could ones could be the IC title and the US title changing hands.

As of now, it looks like the Miz or Samoa Joe could leave Jeddah with the IC title. If that happens, Jinder Mahal will definitely bring back the US Championship to RAW.

4: WWE's women to receive a big payday

According to rumours, WWE will make anywhere between $100 to $200 million for putting on the show in Jeddah. According to Jerry Lawler, the women on WWE's roster will be in for a hefty bonus despite being left off the card.

This a fantastic gesture by the WWE, including the women despite circumstances not allowing them to wrestle.

3: Superstars to pull double duty

According to the Wrestling Observer, "every regular male performer on the roster is expected” to take part in the Greatest Royal Rumble match.

This means that we could see a number of Superstars pull double duty. They will need to, seeing as there are 50-men in the Rumble match.

2: Returning legends

A number of legends have already been confirmed for a return at the Greatest Royal Rumble from The Great Khali and Mark Henry to Rey Mysterio.

More legends are likely to return for the match and a couple of names already spotted in Saudi Arabia include Hornswoggle and Daivari.

Who else can we expect to see tonight? We've already learned that Shawn Michaels refused an offer to return.
