WWE Royal Rumble 2026 set to take place tonight
Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes will enter the Rumble
Road to Wrestlemania 42 begins now
One of the most exciting live WWE pay-per-views of the year, the Royal Rumble is back and is set to take place today (January 31) King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The road to Wrestlemania 42 opens up from here.
It is for the first time in the history of the Royal Rumble that the event will be held outside of North America. With its growing footprint in the middle-east region, the WWE have decided to give the people of Saudi Arabia an opportunity to witness every single moment as it happens.
This pay-per-view is an important one for deciding the line-ups for the Wrestlemania that takes place exactly after two months.
In both the Men's and Women's category, the WWE superstars will be hoping to seal their spots in the main event of the 42nd edition of the Wrestlemania.
Last year, in what was John Cena's farewell tour, the 17-time WWE Champion was denied the victory by the eventual winner Jey Uso, who later went on to beat Gunther for the title fight at the grandest stages of them all.
A total of 16 male and 8 female WWE superstars will enter the Royal Rumble across categories. Among the big names are former World Champions Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes among others.
