The Greatest Royal Rumble match card is growing bigger with each week passing by.
Previously, it was announced that this would turn out to be a huge night following Wrestlemania to entertain the Saudi Arabia fans. To hype-up the event, seven championship matches were announced.
All the present titles will be on the line except for the women’s title since there’re still some restrictions for female wrestlers performing in the country.
The match card has been made a must-watch with the Universal Championship match getting included in it. Roman Reigns will get yet another opportunity to face Brock Lesnar for the prime title present on the WWE Raw division. This time around, the match would be contested under a different capacity since they will be locked inside a Steel Cage.
“If they continue to put me in matches with @BrockLesnar, the story will end with me becoming the #UniversalChampion!” – @WWERomanReigns
