WWE Greatest Royal Rumble coverage

WWE's Great Royal Rumble is today at 5pm UK time. Join me for live updates throughout the show.

It's been the talk of the wrestling world this week - from a stacked card of stellar matches including some legendary former faces, to the controversial absence of all of WWE's female talent.

The Saudi and US National Anthems fill the arena as the event gets off to a regal start. There's the usual hype package to start. It's time....

What a way to open the show as Triple H, the game, kicks things off with a clash against John Cena. These two legends may be jerkin the curtain, to use the old phrase, but there's nothing but glory in opening this show. A huge spotlight for these two and a huge reaction from the live crowd for both men.

Triple H has the upper hand in the early going. The atmosphere in Saudi Arabia is incredible, but it has a real house-show feel. I don't think you're getting many smarks in the crowd tonight cheering the heels...
