At WrestleMania 34, Seth Rollins, The Miz and Finn Bálor had quite the Triple Threat opener. Anyone tuning into the flat, Battle Royal-heavy Kickoff show must've been counting their blessings at finally seeing a match befitting the occasion. As good as it was though, there was arguably something missing.

Or someone. Samoa. Joe.

Several weeks later at the first Saudi show, Joe was inserted into the Intercontinental mix and WWE planned a four-way Ladder stunt show for the Greatest Royal Rumble. On a card packed with house show fodder masquerading as pay-per-view excellence, the IC crew battered and bruised their bodies to make the show worthwhile.

Ignore the souped-up 50-man Rumble and go straight for this one. Truthfully, it's the only real reason to check out GRR aside from seeing some disinterested locals buggering off from ringside and leaving sizeable gaps opposite the hard cam.
