SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...

Undertaker got into wrestling shape for WrestleMania, and he is parlaying that into at least a second payday, as he’ll be wrestling on the (No Women Wrestling Allowed) Saudi Arabia event, “The Greatest Royal Rumble,” on Apr. 27. He has been matched against Rusev (one of WWE’s most badly miscast wrestlers at this point).

Another legend on the show will be Chris Jericho, who has been added to the Royal Rumble itself. Others announced for the Rumble are: Kurt Angle, Braun Strowman, Daniel Bryan, Kane, Bray Wyatt, Baron Corbin, Big E. Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Shelton Benjamin, Sin Cara, Apollo, Titus O’Neal, Elias, Chad Gable, Goldust, Mojo Rawley, and Dolph Ziggler.

Other matches:

-John Cena vs. Triple H
-Sheamus & Cesaro vs. Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt for the vacant Raw Tag Team Titles
-Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe vs. Seth Rollins vs. The Miz in a Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship
-Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns for the Universal Title

WWE is advertising six titles matches, but since women are not allowed to wrestle in Saudi Arabia, no women’s titles will be at stake.

The event, being held in Kin Abdullah Sports City Stadium, streams live on WWE Network at 12 ET / 9 PT on Apr. 27. WWE is touting a crowd of over 60,000 will be attendance.
