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’s Main Event to earn his shot.

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

It was ‘The Ring General’ 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.

If Styles can’t notch the victory, he’ll retire from WWE. That would also give Gunther a lot of confidence entering the Men's Royal Rumble Match.

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

McIntyre has proven that he’ll do anything to stay at the top after such a long wait to return there, and that isn’t ideal for Zayn. Will that be the difference in McIntyre retaining the championship?
