Today on WWE.com, the wrestling promotion announced there will be a Royal Rumble featuring 50 wrestlers in April. The event takes place nineteen days after Wrestlemania 34.
The Saudi General Sports Authority, in partnership with WWE, will present the Greatest Royal Rumble event at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Friday, April 27.
