Royal Rumble 2026: Men’s Entire Line-Up ‘Leaked’

The men’s entrant list for the upcoming 39th edition of the Royal Rumble, which is being held in Saudi Arabia, has supposedly been leaked online.

With the event now only a couple of weeks away, excitement is building amongst the fans, with it taking place on the 31st of January, with the renowned Kingdom Arena opening its gates to the WWE Universe once again.

Fans are hoping that the 2026 edition in Riyadh will be an excellent spectacle, with the Royal Rumble presenting a great opportunity for many of the sport’s biggest Superstars to book their spot in the main event of WrestleMania, which is taking place in April.

Men’s 2026 Royal Rumble Entrant List

With fan excitement only building as we edge ever closer, it’s only been aided by a document surfacing on social media claiming to contain the list of the participants making the journey to Saudi Arabia for the men’s match, as well as revealing the eventual winner. Now, it must be stressed, this is only a document found online, so take it with a pinch of salt.

The viral list has Roman Reigns as the eventual winner, with Sami Zayn as the runner-up. That could be deemed quite believable, truth be told. Also, the last name on the list is a surprising one in Chris Jericho. However, Y2J has been heavily linked with a return to WWE in the past few months, so that also does make sense.

Fans online across the pages on which the list has been leaked have mixed opinions and views about whether it is true or not, speculating that WWE have ‘released it early’ to build anticipation ahead of it, with others not buying it, saying ‘it’s too early’ to have a list like this released, and if it were to come out, it would be closer to the event.

Despite the intrigue and anticipation of what is to come, the list that has been doing the rounds online is only a leak, not the actual script of how the Royal Rumble will pan out and isn’t a legitimate list from what we can tell. This can be told by the fact that WWE wouldn’t want to kill the excitement in the lead up to the event by leaking all participants and then the eventual winner.

Documents and lists like this always surface at this time of the year, and fans should take it with a pinch of salt. Many copies of the alleged entrants list have been floating around across many social media accounts, on either X or Reddit.

Roman Reigns is the Royal Rumble Favourite

Although the list is likely fake, many fans still believe that Roman Reigns is the favourite to win heading into the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia. Reigns previously won this match 11 years ago in 2015, when he was a polarising figure, but now just over a decade on, you could say he’s the biggest babyface on the roster.

He previously teased rekindling an old rivalry with Cody Rhodes in his most recent appearance at Survivor Series, but with The American Nightmare recently losing his title to Drew McIntyre, who knows what WWE now have in mind for the Rumble and beyond.
