We knew that the WWE Championship will be on the line at the Greatest Royal Rumble, but now we know who it will be defended against.

Even though the majority of us are still recovering from the mammoth show that was WrestleMania, we are now only a little more than a week away from a show that is looking as though it might be just as long. Next Friday, WWE will head to Saudi Arabia for the Greatest Royal Rumble and the card in its current state is almost as stacked as the one that took place at WrestleMania 34.

The crown jewel of the event will be the match the event is named after, the Greatest Royal Rumble. A Royal Rumble match containing 50 Superstars. On top of that, there will also be a match between John Cena and Triple H, a casket match pitting The Undertaker against Rusev, plus, there will be seven championships on the line including both of WWE's world titles.

The Universal Championship will be defended inside a steel cage in a WrestleMania 34 rematch between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. Also now we know that the WWE Title will also be defended in a WrestleMania rematch. AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura will clash once again in a bout that was continually dubbed a dream match by WWE on the road to WrestleMania.

What happened after Styles and Nakamura's match at WrestleMania was obviously an indicator that things between them are not done. The King Of Strong Style turned heel and delivered a low blow to the WWE Champion. Since then, Nakamura delivered three more low blows to The Phenomenal One on SmackDown Live over the last two weeks while making his working life a living hell.

Styles has not had the opportunity to get his hands on Nakamura since WrestleMania, but now he knows he will get a chance to exact his revenge at the Greatest Royal Rumble. Now that one of them is a babyface and one is a heel, it will make for a completely different dynamic between the two, creating a very different match to the one we saw a week and a half ago. The people of Jeddah are in for a treat.
