3. Ricochet

'The One and Only' made a scintillating debut at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans the night before WrestleMania 34, and could make a similarly electric impression on the Saudi locals with his aerial artistry.

A regular in recent wrestling history, Ricochet has become as well known for the moves he misses than the ones he hits thanks to his era-defining clashes with Will Ospreay, but he'd be able to ping between opponents like a pinball should he enter the ring with enough bodies to bounce off.

An international sensation as it is, he's an ideal performer in circumstances such as these. Even non-fans can marvel as his audacious offence, imaginatively dreamlike and flawless in execution as it is.

There exists the opportunity of a first time ever (in WWE) face-off with Rey Mysterio. The pair went to war in Lucha Underground and WCPW, but haven't yet graced wrestling's biggest stage together. The Greatest Royal Rumble providing a glimpse of their collective excellence would offer a tantalising tease of any future singles clashes and spotlight one of NXT's hottest prospects for the foreseeable future.
