The list of some WWE Royal Rumble 2026 participants is probably already out. The Royal Rumble match is one of the Stamford-based company's most exciting formats throughout its long history, and therefore, it always gets a lot of hype.
The lineup of 30 people usually includes a number of stars returning, and it is essentially the right time for surprise appearances by veterans and legends. Thus, there is a huge curiosity regarding the choice of the fighters (both men and women) for that year's bouts.

WWE begins the countdown to Royal Rumble 2026 with Triple H’s tweet
In a tweet sent out recently, Triple H posted a poster featuring the WWE PLE event in January next year, with a number of big names displayed for the grand show. The text accompanying his post was:

"The countdown starts… and the Road to #WrestleMania begins again. Tickets for the 2026 #RoyalRumble live from Riyadh, KSA go on sale tomorrow at 7pm local / 11am ET.”
WWE highlights massive talent roster for upcoming Royal Rumble
According to the poster, male fighters such as Drew McIntyre, Dominik Mysterio, Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, and Penta who will be at the PLE, in the women's division IYO SKY, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Rhea Ripley, and Stephanie Vaquer will also display their talents.
Despite the announcement, fans were still not fully satisfied, especially if we look at the comments made under Triple H's post. A number of people queried The Game's choice to arguably not have stars like Randy Orton and LA Knight. Here are a few of the fan comments for you:
"STOP TREATING RANDY LIKE AN AFTERTHOUGHT.”
“Of course you would leave off @RealLAKnight.”
“The greatest professional wrestler @RandyOrton is not in the poster yet again. It’s amazing how petty and jealous you are.”
“Mister levesque sir where’s La knight?”
LA Knight and Randy Orton, who are the big fan favorites in WWE, are indeed absent, but still raise questions. On the other hand, the PLE may come, and they could be part of the card.
