It looks like two more notable “NXT” stars are expected for WWE “Royal Rumble 2026.” Reports have already suggested that Sol Ruca is expected to participate in the women’s Royal Rumble match in Riyadh on Saturday. Now, PWInsider reports that former TNA Knockouts Champion Kelani Jordan and Lola Vice are also expected to be surprise entrants.
Many WWE stars have already landed in Riyadh ahead of Saturday’s show. Some of them will be performing on the go-home episode of “Friday Night SmackDown.” There’s no word on if any of the reported “NXT” names will be featured one day prior to the “Royal Rumble” event for some added promotion, or if they will be held off until Saturday.

Kelani Jordan’s Success in NXT
Jordan has struck gold twice during her “NXT” run. She was the inaugural NXT Women’s North American Champion and held onto the gold for 140 days. Then, there’s the aforementioned TNA Knockouts World Championship reign, which lasted 53 days before Jordan dropped the title to Lei Ying Lee in a triple threat match that also featured Jordynne Grace.
Lola Vice’s Rise
Lola Vice has yet to hold gold in WWE, but that isn’t indicative of her standing with the top professional wrestling company. Reports suggest that WWE officials are quite high on Vice’s work in both “NXT” and AAA. Vice recently earned a shot at the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship after defeating La Hiedra on the third episode of AAA on FOX.
