Undertaker-Rusev casket match set for WWE Greatest Royal Rumble
After squashing John Cena at WrestleMania 34, The Undertaker already has his next match scheduled.
WWE announced today that Undertaker vs. Rusev in a casket match is set for the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia on Friday, April 27th.. The show is taking place at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah and will air live on the WWE Network at noon Eastern time.
Despite seemingly retiring last year, The Undertaker pinned Cena in under three minutes on Sunday. Part of the story for the match was that it wasn’t officially announced in advance, with Cena repeatedly calling Undertaker out in the build to WrestleMania.
