Updated WWE Royal Rumble 2026 Card: New Entrants And Championship Matches Confirmed

Following this week’s episode of WWE Raw in Toronto, the card for the 2026 Royal Rumble has been significantly updated. The event, which takes place this Saturday, January 31st, from the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is shaping up to be a historic night. Monday’s show saw a flurry of declarations for the over-the-top-rope matches, including the entire Vision faction, rookie sensation Je’Von Evans, powerhouse Oba Femi, and former champion Becky Lynch.

Undisputed WWE Championship And Career Threatening Match Highlight Card

While the Rumble matches themselves are the main draw, the undercard features two bouts with monumental consequences. Drew McIntyre will defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against Sami Zayn, who is riding a wave of momentum after winning a tournament to become the number one contender. Perhaps even more compelling is the “Career Threatening Match” between Gunther and AJ Styles. The stipulation is clear: if AJ Styles loses, he must retire from professional wrestling forever.

Updated Royal Rumble Card:

• Undisputed WWE Championship Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Sami Zayn
• Career Threatening Match: Gunther vs. AJ Styles (If Styles loses, he must retire)
• Men’s Royal Rumble Match: Cody Rhodes, Gunther, Jey Uso, Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee, Penta, Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Bronson Reed, Austin Theory, Je’Von Evans, Oba Femi, and 15 more TBA.
