Shane McMahon, Rey Mysterio, Great Khali added to Greatest Royal Rumble roster

Bengaluru, April 26: Shane McMahon, Rey Mysterio and The Great Khali are three surprise additions to the Greatest Royal Rumble match this Friday.

The Greatest Royal Rumble is going to be a milestone event in the history of the WWE. Apart from this one being the biggest Rumble match in the company's history, no other such big show has been hosted in a huge capacity outside the United States.

Recently, the WWE has confirmed that the entire host venue has been sold out. The King Abdullah Sports Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, has a capacity of more than 60,000, which is why this would be a record in attendance in the middle east country. We will learn the actual attendance figure once the show gets over.

The headliner of this WWE Network-exclusive show is going to be the Greatest Royal Rumble match, itself. Various marquee names have been confirmed for this battle royal match already. Recently, two more were added to the mix.
