WWE Greatest Royal Rumble: 10 Things That Must Happen

3. The 50-Man Rumble Headlines & Has One-Minute Intervals

WWE can't claim this is the "Greatest Royal Rumble" and then not book the titular 50-man match in the headline slot.

Everything else, including the title matches and John Cena vs. Triple H, must play second fiddle to the bloated Rumble. Otherwise, what was the point of putting it on the card in the first place? There's nothing that can top a fifty man match, not even Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns locked inside a cage.

The Greatest Rumble is likely to be a long one, so WWE would also be doing themselves a favour by writing short one-minute intervals between entrants as opposed to the usual 90 seconds or two minutes. It's not like they strictly stay true to those timings anyway, but it'd give the match some much-needed zip considering the larger number of entrants.

It's imperative that WWE keep the pace up in this match. 50 entrants is a lot (Captain Obvious here), and it bears repeating that WrestleMania 34's epic length had the New Orleans crowd sapped of energy by the end. That can't become a habit.
