A number of WWE NXT names have been featured on advertising for the upcoming Royal Rumble 2026 premium live event.
With the January 31 show set to emanate from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, there has been a lot of speculation about potential surprises planned for the two 30-person matches.
Per Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Daily Update, Ethan Page, Thea Hail, Lola Vice, Tatum Paxley and Oba Femi are featured on the billboard at the arena in Saudi Arabia promoting Royal Rumble 2026.
This has fuelled rumors that these five stars will be featured across the two Rumble matches.
It’s worth noting that this is not confirmation that these stars will be at the event. While the billboard could be a big clue about who could appear, as always, talent is subject to change.
Page, Hail, Vice and Paxley are all still officially NXT stars. Vignettes hyping up Oba Femi’s arrival have been airing on Raw and SmackDown since he relinquished the NXT Championship.
The report noted that all the major WWE stars are on this billboard, including Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, both of whom haven’t wrestled since Survivor Series in November 2025.
The latest update on Roman Reigns’ absence and expected return date can be found right here.
