• A Lot Of Surprises Are In Store For Royal Rumble 2026
On ESPN Get Up, WWE’s Chief Content Officer Triple H said the following about this Saturday’s Royal Rumble 2026 premium live event in Saudi Arabia:
“The Royal Rumble is one of those events that’s amazing to see because every couple of minutes, there is a new entrant that enters into the fray. So as this match goes on over the course of the hour that it takes or so, you’re getting constantly surprised by who is next, and the strategy of what happens when that person comes out, so, this year’s gonna be no different.
There’s a lot of surprises in store. But also, it’s one of the most star-studded Rumbles that I can recall. You’ve got Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Jey Uso, Bron Breakker, Logan Paul’s gonna be in there.
On the women’s side, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan. They’re just stacked cards. This one is gonna be epic.”
Triple H talks about what to expect from the Royal Rumble this weekend 👏

• Possible Spoiler On 3 NXT Stars As Surprise Entrants In The Royal Rumble
Every year, multiple NXT wrestlers end up as surprise entrants in the Royal Rumble matches. On this week’s NXT, 3 regular, top stars were missing from the show: NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne, Sol Ruca, and Lola Vice.
In a backstage segment, General Manager Ava was heard saying the following on the phone: “I’m aware the Rumble is Saturday, we have the deepest women’s division in the world, so whatever decision you make, I support it.”
This has begun speculation that Jacy, Sol, and Lola will be surprise entrants in the Women’s Royal Rumble match and that is the reason why they didn’t appear on this week’s LIVE episode of NXT – because the WWE roster is already in Saudi Arabia for the big weekend.
