The Greatest Royal Rumble is going to be a pretty big show but Saudi Arabia has certain customs that really can’t change.
Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Live that the previously speculated hour-long prayer is actually going to be more like 15-minutes. Therefore it won’t affect the show and it was noted by Bryan Alvarez that WWE could always air a promo package during that time. There will still be a prayer time in the building during the event but it’s not expected to make the broadcast.
There are plenty more ways to get around a 15-minute break rather than an hour-long one that’s for sure.
