Bobby Roode vs. Elias

Bobby Roode was met with a harsh welcome on his second week to the red brand

Elias went to start his concert, only for Bobby Roode to interrupt before he could even get started. Cole confirmed that both men would be involved in the Greatest Royal Rumble match on Friday, which will feature 50 men for the first time in the history of the stipulation.

Roode took control early on in the match, only to seemingly tweak his knee upon landing from the top rope. Bobby spent some time working the arm, with the crowd's reactions being notably quiet in the early stages of the match. Elias managed to land a strong right hand to Roode before a series of chops handed him control of the match. Roode almost caught him with the Glorious DDT, but couldn't quite manage it.

Elias sent Roode into the middle rope, continuing to wear him down. Around 30 seconds after coming back from commercial, WWE cut to yet another advertisement - this time regarding the Greatest Royal Rumble event.

Corey Graves revealed that Shane McMahon would be a part of the 50-man Rumble match. Back in the ring, Roode's big babyface comeback wasn't exactly received perfectly by the St. Louis crowd who were relatively quiet. Elias rolled to the outside of the ring in order to halt Bobby's momentum, allowing The Drifter to gain control. He hung Bobby's arm up in the rope, before securing the roll-up pinfall.
