As noted, this big event is expected to air live on TV in Saudi Arabia, Australia and the UK. It's also expected to air on the WWE Network. WWE is loading up the big event, which will be headlined by a 50-man Royal Rumble match, due to how much money they are receiving for the first event under a new deal with the Saudis.

The event will also feature all main roster titles on the line, except for the RAW Women's Title and the SmackDown Women's Title.
