The match lineups for the Greatest Royal Rumble event are gradually getting finalized.
As reported earlier, there will be seven championship matches to be held on that night. Now, one of them has been confirmed officially by the WWE.
It will get contested for the WWE Raw tag team championships. The former champions will meet the most bizarre team available on the roster.
At Wrestlemania 34, The Bar lost their tag team championships to the team of Braun Strowman and Nicholas, a schoolboy.
Due to his academic obligations, Nicholas could not continue his reign with the behemoth superstar on the roster. So, the night after Wrestlemania witnessed the champions relinquishing their titles.

Since The Bar was the former title-holders, they automatically received a shot to the championship match announced for Greatest Royal Rumble event.
For the second spot, a match was contested on this week’s WWE Raw. The newly formed team of Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt competed against The Revival in a tag team contest.

Quite expectedly, the team of Hardy and Wyatt dominated the matchup and picked up the win. A modified version of Sister Abigail was delivered to one of their opponents to come up as the winners.
With that, they secured the second spot available in the championship match. Following this, the official website of the WWE sanctioned the match with the following announcement,
“At the Greatest Royal Rumble event, Sheamus & Cesaro will look to battle through the multiverse in order to regain the Raw Tag Team Championship when they go head-to-head against the outrageous team of “Woken” Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt. Find out when the Greatest Royal Rumble event airs, Friday, April 27, at 7 p.m. AST. The event streams live on the award-winning WWE Network with a tune-in time of 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT.”

At present, the team of Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy has all the momentum by their side. The later one also won the 5th edition of the ATG Memorial Battle Royal at Wrestlemania capitalising on this association.
On the other hand, The Bar’s performance graph is going downwards, right now. They have digested a loss against Breezango on this week’s WWE Raw which was unthinkable.
So, team Hardy-Wyatt is the favourite to win the tag team titles at Greatest Royal Rumble event.
