WWE Greatest Royal Rumble: 10 Most Likely Winners

5. The Saudi Tryout Winner

Something that has slipped the net a little is that one lucky young hopeful from WWE's first ever KSA Tryout camp will get a spot in the Rumble on Friday. That means a native of the Kingdom will get to work with some of the biggest names in wrestling history as 60,000 plus fellow countrymen cheer him on.

It wouldn't be completely inconceivable that WWE would pen the ultimate happy ending by booking a Saudi win on home turf.

The whole thing would have to be treated like a major surprise, naturally, but it'd kick off WWE's growing media relationships in the country with a bang and create a new international star they can use to pin down the Saudi Arabian market immediately. Far-fetched? Yes. Impossible? Far from it.

Lord only knows who it'd be. WWE will have someone in mind though, because (regardless of how long the chosen native lasts) they're not going to toss any old rookie into the mix willy nilly.
