5 surprises to expect at The Greatest Royal Rumble

This Friday, WWE will be hosting a one of a kind event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: The Greatest Royal Rumble Event. WWE has announced a plethora of huge names, and the company is making a concerted effort to make the show as grand as possible.

Seven championships will be on the line, and the WWE Universe is expecting a lot of twists and turns in the biggest Royal Rumble match of all time.

Few unexpected entries and results will certainly make fans drop their jaws, and here are five surprising moments WWE can pull off which are sure to wow the audience.

#5 Orton interferes and costs Hardy the title?

Jeff Hardy got traded to SmackDown Live a day after winning the United States Championship from Jinder Mahal. A rematch has been set for this Friday and will see Mahal fighting for the title one last time before going ahead in his endeavors on the Red Brand.

For the past two weeks, Hardy and Randy Orton have been interrupting each other's entrances, and WWE might be teasing a feud between the two superstars. Orton's current babyface run has become stale and has left him in the mid-card tier. A high-profile rivalry between them, with Orton as the heel, seems to be the way going forward. An interference by The Viper during Jeff's title defense would be the perfect setup for the feud and will get Orton out of his boring vanilla personality.

An Orton-Hardy rivalry has money written all over it, and WWE may plant its seeds at The Greatest Royal Rumble Event.
