Two Former WWE Champions Returning At Royal Rumble 2026 Update

Updates have emerged regarding two WWE stars who could potentially return at the upcoming Royal Rumble 2026 event.

With the Rumble coming up this Saturday, there is of course a lot of talk and speculation about names who could return to be part of the men’s and women’s Rumble matches.

One of those names is former WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton, who’s been off TV since she lost the title to Jade Cargill at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1.

A new report from PWInsider Elite states that there have been “rumblings” that Stratton could “return to storylines” this weekend at the Rumble.

A lot of betting outfits have Stratton very high up in regards to being a potential winner of the Rumble match despite her recent absence, behind only the likes of Liv Morgan and the also-absent Bianca Belair.

Another big name mentioned a lot in regards to a potential WWE Royal Rumble return is Brock Lesnar, who has been away from TV since he teamed with Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker to win the men’s WarGames match against Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Roman Reigns and The Usos at Survivor Series on November 29.

According to PWInsider Elite, “all signs” are that Lesnar will in fact be at the Rumble in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this weekend.

Lesnar features on posters and other promotional material for the event, heavily implying he’ll be returning. Stratton does as well, while the aforementioned Bianca Belair doesn’t, and there’s no word right now on her status.
