So, how large is the roster? If everyone who's not in any other match on the card is in the Rumble (although I'm guessing that some will do double-duty) how many surprise entrants are needed? There's enough active male talents on the main roster (I counted 73) that they could get away with not having guys doing double-duty. That's without adding another 10 or so cruiserweights that they likely wouldn't consider for the Rumble match.

Winner gets gets this trophy Dude that will be a bitch getting that trophy home. Getting it through the airport will be a nightmare. I think what'll probably happen is they get it delivered after the event in the same way many people get their speciality chairs delivered post PPV.

So yeah, anybody thinking now that The Bar and Joe win in order to get them back on RAW despite ostensibly having been moved to SDL?

I'd rather see Elias in that IC Title match than Joe. Wonder what sort of women's matches they'll get? Ummm...the women roster are not going to be there for reasons. Yeah, when I first saw this my thought was 'What about a Rumble for the women?... oh.'

Lol I love how we’re acting like WWE or the United States is some beacon of diversity and cultural acceptance of women and minorities. Saudi Arabia treats women badly. America also does it. Just not in ways that make us want to wag our fingers at them and say their oppressive.

Just merely stating my opinion that has already been voiced by a few others here.

Let's not veer into that discussion again, this board is not the place for it. I’m totally fine with just discussing the show. Just got annoyed with all the talk that was going in the other direction. Anyway. This should be a fun show.

Adding AJ / Nakamura kind of feels to me like Lesnar's retaining. It really doesn't make any sense to do AJ / Nakamura again without Nakamura winning the belt this time.

On the other hand, having two title changes on the first Saudi show would probably be more motivation for people coming next time than just having one.

Apologies if I've missed it. but why did Undertaker's opponent change from Rusev to Jericho and then back to Rusev again?

Also: I know that Music is forbidden in some muslim countries. How are they going to deal with that for the entrances? It's not something enforced (or even agreed upon) so it won't be an issue. I read they're allowing cinemas now , it has not been legal since the 80s in Saudi.

So apparently Rey Mysterio will be on this show as well. I really want to know how much money they're getting for this. Speaking of pay days , Parker was offered 10 mill for Elvis concert in Egypt '75 , it never happened

Undertaker v Rusev in a Casket Match, hm? That’s one for the foilhats if ever I saw one. Should be a scorpions-in-casket match since it's Taker (he's from the desert) but that will never happen

Lana sent out a tweet about how she didn’t want Rusev in such a dangerous match and petitioned WWE officials to replace him, so we got Jericho. A few days ago she tweeted “nah, changed my mind. Rusev may participate.” So now he’s back in.

One thing I've heard is they got offended over Rusev calling Undertaker old then changed their minds when Taker didn't care. Which sounds so stupid that I could believe it.
