• WrestleMania-Level Set For Royal Rumble 2026 Revealed (Video)
WWE is no longer just visiting Saudi Arabia; they are reshaping the landscape. For Royal Rumble 2026 on January 31, the company has abandoned the idea of using an existing venue. Instead, they have built their own stadium from the ground up in Riyadh to host the event.
This massive construction project reflects the unprecedented scale of the show. According to PWInsider, the backstage talk at this week’s RAW was centered on one thing: the production for this Rumble was treated as a WrestleMania-level event.
While the Royal Rumble has always been a major stop on the calendar, the level of financial and creative investment for this year’s show is turning it into a global showcase that rivals the biggest night in wrestling history.

• AJ Styles Makes Big Business Decision Before Career-Threatening Match
As AJ Styles prepares for a high-stakes career-threatening showdown with Gunther this Saturday at the Royal Rumble in Riyadh, the former WWE Champion is making significant moves to protect his legacy outside the ring.
In a move that could hint at his plans for life after a potential loss, the wrestler—under his real name, Allen Jones—has filed two major trademark applications with the USPTO. Rather than letting WWE control his branding, Styles is personally laying claim to his most famous assets: the name “The Phenomenal AJ Styles” and the iconic “P1” stylized logo.
The timing is critical. While WWE usually owns the names of its performers, Styles is leveraging his history to keep control of his brand.
His filing for the “Phenomenal” name dates its first use back to December 2000, long before he ever stepped foot in a WWE ring. Similarly, the “P1” logo filing references a first use in 2011, protecting his right to sell shirts, hats, and sweatshirts independently.
Whether he wins on Saturday or is forced into retirement, AJ Styles is officially taking his business into his own hands.
• WWE Makes Gunther’s New Gimmick Official
WWE is making sure no one else can claim the most dangerous nickname in the business. On January 26, the company officially filed to trademark “Career Killer,” the moniker currently being used to define Gunther’s path of destruction on the main roster.
This legal move is a strategic play to lock down Gunther’s branding across every possible platform. The filing covers a massive range of “entertainment services,” ensuring WWE has exclusive rights to the title for live wrestling performances, television broadcasts, internet media, and even fan club merchandise.
The timing of the filing is noticeably significant. With Gunther retiring Goldberg and John Cena in 2025, and now preparing for a career-threatening match against AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble this Saturday, the “Career Killer” label has become the central theme of his character.
By securing the trademark now, WWE is signaling that this isn’t just a temporary catchphrase, it’s the cornerstone of Gunther’s identity as the ultimate final boss of the modern era.
