What was the name of WWE’s first major stadium event held in Saudi Arabia in 2018?

Greatest Royal Rumble was WWE’s first major stadium event held in Saudi Arabia, taking place in 2018.

The event was held at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah on April 27, 2018. Its centerpiece was a 50-man Royal Rumble match, larger than WWE’s traditional 30-man version. Braun Strowman won that match and received a trophy and championship opportunity rather than the standard WrestleMania title-shot reward.

The card also included championship matches and appearances by several internationally known WWE performers. It was the first event in a multi-year partnership between WWE and Saudi Arabia, although the series later used different names, including Crown Jewel and Super ShowDown.

Greatest Royal Rumble is sometimes confused with the later Crown Jewel events because both were held in Saudi Arabia. Crown Jewel was not the name of the inaugural 2018 stadium show. The event’s title specifically highlighted its expanded 50-participant match.
