Hornswoggle Plans
Hornswoggle was originally planned to wrestle a singles match on the Kickoff Show, according to PWInsider.
He was reportedly supposed to wrestle Robbie Araujo, who is another little person, but the match was scrapped at some point in the past day and Hornswoggle was put in the Royal Rumble match.
Araujo actually flew out to Saudi Arabia but wasn’t on the show.

Prayer Break During Backstage Interviews
The backstage interviews at the Greatest Royal Rumble were not broadcast to the crowd, according to PWInsider.
It was said that there was supposed to be a 15 minute prayer break during the show and that seems to have happened during the Chris Jericho interview segment. There were also segments at the Kickoff Show table to kill time, and a backstage Daniel Bryan interview.
Signs Confiscated
Security confiscated signs as the crowd entered. There were some signs in the crowd, but they were all obviously very basic and harmless.
Daniel Bryan
Here’s a backstage interview with Daniel Bryan with his chest busted up at the hands of chops from Roderick Strong.
