    So how long is this show going to be? Don't they know I won't be able to watch until the Sunday at the earliest, since not only does it take place on Rusev day but I'll be away for the weekend and it's also the Avengers release weekend.

    Out of curiosity, would Velveteen Dream's gimmick fly over there? He has that ambiguously camp thing going on.

    Could we see Cena appear and confront taker after he puts Rusev in the casket

    One thing for sure Taker is not actually retired and Reigns didn't retire him

    I wonder how much money each superstar is getting, Taker and Jericho must be getting a fine good chunk of change

    I always find it strange when part timers appear at overseas shows yet don't appear at US shows. Like Brock on the UK Raw.

    $$$$$

    Brock is getting big money for appearing at this

    The hotel in SA for the stars will be jam packed with lots of egos in the one place

    They’re well known for their tolerance over there so I can’t see any issues.

    Wait a second. Russev is facing the undertaker in a casket match in Saudi Arabia ? Ah here! Will trips come out and blast him with a sledgehammmer as well ? Buried thy name is Russev.

    Awesome match but seriously his card is crazy and doesnt make much sense

    These Saudis are pretty lucky tbh we might never see this calibre of card ever again

    Till next year.

    If it's true it's twenty million a year for 10 years, we will get something like this yearly now.

    20 million PER year. That is crazy. No wonder they don't mind a boys night out.

    Any word was Rusev was dropped? He out the door?

    Otherwise it’s humiliating announcing him and then dropping him for a “bigger star” who’s a part timer.

    Hopefully their thinking is they don’t want to bury a full timer so job out Jericho instead.

    Ireland and wwe are like brothers and have produced some of the biggest stars in wwe today and Fit Finley who is held with great regard

    I imagine taker could veto opponents and if he didn’t take too kindly to the comments I imagine he would have vetoed it.

    But again ridiculous reason, Rusev was just heeling it up is all.

    Taker is supposedly very prickly about being shown what he considers due respect at all times by the locker room. He probably thinks Rusev hasn’t earned the right to talk about him that way.

    Did Rusev bury himself with that Tweet yesterday I wonder.

    Edit I now see the TMZ thing.

    If Rusev is not on the card or dumped out of the super-mega-hyper rumble very quickly, we can assume Taker and his respect bollocks played a part.

    Saw elsewhere that Rusev has removed wwe references on his twitter profile and makes comments about his future.
    Unless he's just referring to moving brands
