Major Surprises Teased for WWE Royal Rumble 2026

Triple H is promising chaos, shocks, and the kind of mystery that defines the Royal Rumble.

Appearing on ESPN’s Get Up, WWE’s Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque made it clear that surprises will be front and center at this Saturday’s Royal Rumble Premium Live Event, streaming live from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

“The Royal Rumble is one of those events that’s amazing to see, because every couple of minutes there is a new entrant that enters into the fray, right?” Triple H said. “So as this match goes on over the course of the hour that it takes or so, you’re getting constantly surprised by who is next.”

While WWE has confirmed big names like Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Jey Uso, Bron Breakker, and Logan Paul on the men’s side—and Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, and Liv Morgan for the women—Triple H was clear: those are just the beginning.

“There’s a lot of surprises in store.”

This Royal Rumble will be the first under WWE’s new deal with ESPN, and Triple H said fans should expect it to feel like the start of WWE’s own version of playoff season leading into WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.

“Now the stakes get big… everybody is bringing their A-game.”

WWE’s tradition of mystery entrants, surprise returns, and jaw-dropping debuts looks to continue in a big way—and Triple H made it clear that fans will want to tune in for the unexpected.
