JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia is preparing to host perhaps its most brash and brutal sporting event of 2018, The Greatest Royal Rumble.

The WWE circus comes to town on April 27, with thousands expected to descend on the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah to see their wrestling heroes.

The event will see John Cena and Triple H, the Undertaker and Chris Jericho, pit their wrestling wits against each other, while Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns are set to do battle in an iron cage fight for the WWE Universal Championship.

The night will also include a bout for the WWE Intercontinental Championship that brings together Seth Rollins, The Miz, Samoa Joe, and Finn Balor.

The General Sport Authority announced that tickets for the Greatest Royal Rumble can now be purchased online and that prices start at SR10. Tickets can also be purchased at the General Sport Authority’s offices in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam from April 15. The King Abdullah Sports City Stadium will be selling tickets from April 25 onwards.
