Speaking of the Greatest Royal Rumble, it’s truly going to be epic, isn’t it? Fifty men participating in a Royal Rumble match, which is 10 more than the record of 40 from 2011.

But what are the spoils that go to the victor?

Every Royal Rumble since 1992 has featured a prize for the winner, with the 1992 Rumble being for the vacant WWF Championship, and the 2016 Rumble being a WWE World Heavyweight Championship title defense for Roman Reigns. The remaining Rumble winners have earned a world title shot at WrestleMania.

So what will the winner of the Greatest Royal Rumble receive? Will they earn a title shot at SummerSlam or another upcoming PPV? Or will they just get a trophy or the honor of having won the largest, er, the greatest Royal Rumble in history?
