Just when you thought you had recovered from the 7+ hour marathon that was WWE’s WrestleMania 34, it now appears as though the upcoming Greatest Royal Rumble event on April 27th from the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia will have a runtime of 6+ hours including the one hour long pre-show taking place before the main show.
The Kickoff Show begins at 11 AM EDT on the WWE Network, with the main show to begin at 12 PM EDT on the WWE Network and other providers.
Sky Box Office in the UK & Ireland notes that the show will begin at 5pm GMT and finish at 10pm GMT. This would put the total runtime for WWE’s Greatest Royal Rumble event including the pre-show around six hours plus, which is just an hour shy of WrestleMania 34’s 7 hour runtime.
The updated card for the Greatest Royal Rumble event is below:
WWE Universal Title Match
Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns
