WWE will be hosting a very unique show this Friday with The Greatest Royal Rumble set to take place in Saudi Arabia. WWE has loaded the card with a ton of several interesting matches, including seven title matches, a bout between Triple H and John Cena, and another match between Rusev and The Undertaker. WWE is going all in with this show, but the crown jewel of the event this week will be the first-ever 50-man Royal Rumble match. Given that the match will require 50 participants, it makes sense that the match would feature a ton of names from all over the WWE landscape, but a few of the surprise entrants planned for the Greatest Royal Rumble match have just been confirmed.

It has been rumored for a while now that Rey Mysterio is currently in the midst of contract negotiations with WWE and could be coming back to the company at any time. WWE has just announced that Mysterio will be back for at least one night when he competes in the 50-man Royal Rumble match on Friday. Mysterio made a one-off return to WWE earlier this year when he competed in the traditional 30-man Royal Rumble match back in January. Although Mysterio did not win the match, he impressed the fans by being among the last competitors eliminated from the match. Get ready to see Mysterio back in a WWE ring once again when he competes in Saudi Arabia later this week.
Another huge name who has just been confirmed to participate in the Royal Rumble match this Friday is Mark Henry. Mark Henry dominated the landscape in WWE for two decades before he was inducted into the Hall of Fame earlier this month. Although Henry stated that he was retired from the ring during his Hall of Fame speech, it looks like Henry has reversed his stance and will be wrestling again in the 50-man Royal Rumble match. WWE has also announced that The Great Khali will also be coming back to WWE for one night to compete in the match. 50 men will all compete in the biggest Royal Rumble match in WWE history at the Greatest Royal Rumble on April 27th.
