Several potential WWE NXT stars entering the 2026 Royal Rumble match this Saturday in Riyadh have been revealed.
With the 2026 Royal Rumble event set to take place this Saturday, many fans have speculated about who we could see appear in this year’s match.
On tonight’s episode of NXT television, NXT General Manager Ava was discussing the Royal Rumble on the phone and seemingly confirmed that members of the NXT women’s division would be appearing in the match.
She said:
“I’m aware the Rumble is Saturday, we have the deepest women’s division in the world, so whatever decision you make, I support it”
While no names were confirmed to be entering the match, WWE have already begun flying out to Saudi Arabia for the show, with some rather notable absences on tonight’s NXT show.
The first was NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne, who didn’t appear alongside Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid when they came out to confront Thea Hail and Zaria after their match.
Also absent was Lola Vice, who has an NXT Women’s North American Championship match with Izzi Dame and Thea Hail on next week’s NXT show, with both Izzi and Thea appearing on tonight’s show.
Vice’s match against La Hiedra with Mr Iguana as special guest referee on this Saturday’s episode of AAA was pre-taped back on January 17, so Vice has no AAA obligations the weekend of the Rumble. The next AAA live show is February 7.
Finally, Sol Ruca was also absent from the show, with Zaria questioning where she was prior to her match with Thea Hail.
Other names fans have mentioned as being absent from NXT this week are Kelani Jordan and Blake Monroe, the latter of whom was on the show via a pre-taped video but not live.
It has not been confirmed if any of the three have travelled to Saudi Arabia as of this writing.
