RIYADH: Saudi Arabia is gearing up for one of the biggest sports entertainment moments of the decade as WWE returns to Riyadh on Jan. 31 with Royal Rumble.
It will be the first time the event, set to take place at a new, purpose-built venue in King Abdullah Financial District, has been held outside North America.
A blockbuster lineup of WWE Superstars are expected to take part, including Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre and Brock Lesnar. They are set to be joined by fan favorites Jey Uso, Dominik Mysterio, Gunther and more.
Those who declare themselves for the 30-Man Royal Rumble match will fight for the opportunity to headline in a championship match at WrestleMania.

Ahead of Royal Rumble, Riyadh will also host WWE SmackDown on Friday, Jan. 30.
