Two superstars will punch their ticket to WWE<\/a> WrestleMania 42<\/em> at the 2026 Royal Rumble<\/em> in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

WWE Chief Content Officer Paul \u2018Triple H\u2019 Levesque has teased surprises for both the Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Royal Rumble matches, which makes for quite the setup entering the annual over-the-top-rope battle royal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s match, top superstars such as Cody Rhodes, the returning Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory, Penta, Jacob Fatu, Oba Femi, and others figure to play a pivotal role in deciding who will challenge for a world title at WrestleMania<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the women\u2019s match features former champions like Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, Liv Morgan, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and Becky Lynch, and maybe even a surprise or two with AJ Lee or Bianca Belair joining the mix.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Who will outlast the competition to be the last person standing to score a championship opportunity on the grandest stage of them all?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Drew McIntyre defends the Undisputed WWE Championship against Sami Zayn, who defeated Randy Orton, Damian Priest, and Trick Williams in a Fatal 4-Way Match at Saturday Night\u2019s Main Event<\/em> to earn his shot.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

McIntyre is a remarkable 11-0 in his televised matches against Zayn in WWE, so the latter has to do something he\u2019s never done before to finally be crowned champion, and that\u2019s defeat his arch nemesis.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Also announced is a highly anticipated rematch between AJ Styles and Gunther.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was \u2018The Ring General\u2019 who technically won the first match back on January 12, but Styles will aim for revenge after the replay showed that Gunther tapped out while the referee had his attention on something else.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If Styles can\u2019t notch the victory, he\u2019ll retire from WWE. That would also give Gunther a lot of confidence entering the Men’s Royal Rumble Match.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here is everything we know about tonight’s WWE Royal Rumble<\/em> in Riyadh:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thirty men enter, but only one will have his hand raised as the winner. Jey Uso shocked the world by winning the 2025 Men\u2019s Royal Rumble Match, and it\u2019s possible that someone else could step into that role this time around. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

LA Knight? Oba Femi? Chris Jericho? Or perhaps Rhodes or Reigns add another Royal Rumble victory to their credit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s match has the type of suspense and drama needed to produce one of the best editions of the Rumble yet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Speaking of drama, there should be plenty of it in the Women\u2019s Royal Rumble. It\u2019s a star-studded list of entrants, which creates an interesting scenario as to who walks out with the win.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There\u2019s intrigue with the Judgment Day dynamic with Morgan and Roxanne Perez, but don\u2019t discount the experience of Belair, Ripley, Flair, Lynch, Asuka, and Bayley, who are all former winners.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It should be quite a spectacle with so much on the line.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Can Zayn finally be a world champion? This would seem to be his best opportunity yet, but McIntyre has been a step ahead of Zayn at every turn during their long-running rivalry. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

McIntyre has proven that he\u2019ll do anything to stay at the top after such a long wait to return there, and that isn\u2019t ideal for Zayn. Will that be the difference in McIntyre retaining the championship?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Styles has had quite a run in the past week. He defeated an old rival in Shinsuke Nakamura at Saturday Night\u2019s Main Event<\/em>, and then followed it up with a memorable clash against World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk on Raw that was interrupted by Finn Balor. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Styles won\u2019t be getting a rematch if he loses to Gunther, who has already retired Goldberg and John Cena in the past six months. Is Styles next on Gunther’s list of WWE legends to retire?<\/p>\n
