There is a report floating around the web about Sami Zayn and the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia. This has to do with Zayn potentially not attending the event.
According to Brad Shepard of Bodyslam.net, Sami Zayn is not expected to be at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia. WWE apparently told Sami that he wasn’t needed at the show.
Sami reportedly shot a backstage segment with Kevin Owens to explain his absence. Here is a quote from Shepard about the reason:
“The indication backstage is that he wasn’t included because he’s a Syrian Muslim. Saudi Arabia-Syria relations have long been strained”

Shepard adds that there was a lengthy list of rules for WWE Superstars to follow while they are in the country.
We will obviously have to wait and see if he appears in the match or not.
