SPOILER: WWE Royal Rumble 2026 winner revealed - REPORT

The 2026 WWE Royal Rumble, which will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is less than two months away. The latest report suggests the potential winner of the men's Royal Rumble match.

For the first time in WWE history, the normal Royal Rumble event will be held outside the United States. The company previously held the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia in 2018, but it wasn't the regular event since it happened after WrestleMania 34.

Some of the betting favorites to win next year's Rumble are Roman Reigns, Bron Breakker and Seth Rollins. However, it seems like the current "whiteboard" favorite backstage is Breakker, as reported by WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select.

While Breakker is favored, things can always change, especially in WWE. But if he's also currently the planned winner for the Rumble, that could mean he's not winning the World Heavyweight Championship on January 5.

Bron Breakker verbally attacked CM Punk last Monday on RAW, sending a message to the current World Heavyweight Champion. Breakker earned the opportunity after he pinned Punk inside the Men's WarGames match at Survivor Series.

WWE Hall of Famer predicts major return at 2026 Royal Rumble

One of the most anticipated parts of the Royal Rumble is the surprise returns. There have been quite a few over the past few years, and WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page believes Chris Jericho is going to be one of them in 2026.

"I will bet $100,000 that he will show up at the Rumble, you know, just I'm just throwing it out there, along with everybody else. And the roof will blow off if Chris Jericho shows up at the Rumble," DDP told Denise Salcedo. [H/T Wrestling, Inc.]

DDP added that if he was booking Jericho's return, he'd have him enter at the No. 10 spot and make it all the way to the end. He's not saying Jericho is going to win the match, but he wants to see him last until the final part of of it.
