According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, here are more details on Chris Jericho being pulled from his match with the Undertaker at the Greatest Royal Rumble. Rusev was originally set for the casket match and then replaced with Jericho. Jericho, out of respect for the company, informed Vince McMahon that he was going to Fukuoka to shoot another angle with New Japan for his match with Naito at Dominion. A few hours later, Jericho was told that the Prince of Saudi Arabia asked for Rusev in the match instead of him so they were taking him out.
