With the first major event of the year, the WWE travels goes to Saudi Arabia for Royal Rumble 2026. The pro wrestling event features four matchups, including an Undisputed WWE Championship bout, on Saturday, Jan. 31.
The event also features two different “Royal Rumble” matches where 30 wrestlers (30 men, 30 women) enter a ring, but only one can win it all. The winner of each gets a shot at the world championship belt in this year’s WrestleMania.
The men’s side features Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Rey Mysterio, Jey Uso, Brock Lesnar, Gunther, Solo Sikoa and others, while the women’s side has Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, Asuka, Bayley, Lyra Valkyria, Iyo Sky, Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan and others participating. And in true Royal Rumble style, it’s very likely there’s going to be a few surprises during each brawl.
