Matt Hardy Believes Seth Rollins’ Will Return at the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble

The 2026 Royal Rumble matches are going to steal the attention for the entire pro wrestling world from all the way in Saudi Arabia. You never know who may show up during the big show, but everyone has their own wild guesses on what will go down.

Matt Hardy is making his Royal Rumble predictions, and he thinks Seth Rollins could be part of the show.

With the Royal Rumble coming up, fans are already locked in on who might win and head to WrestleMania 42. On the latest episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the TNA star shared his picks for both the men’s and women’s Rumble matches, and he also talked about the growing speculation around Rollins.

For the men’s Royal Rumble match, Matt Hardy said there are a couple of names worth watching, even if they aren’t being treated as the obvious favorites. He ended up choosing Bron Breakker as his pick.

“I’m going to throw out two names that aren’t top names that would win, but two people that I think are possibilities. I would say Bron Breakker and Jacob Fatu. Let’s go Bron Breakker.”

Matt Hardy also addressed Seth Rollins, who has been out with an injury. Hardy said he expects Rollins to show up in Saudi Arabia and get involved in the Rumble.

“Yes, I do think Seth Rollins will get back in this Rumble.”

That prediction will turn heads, because Seth Rollins has been expected to miss more time, with most talk pointing toward a return closer to WrestleMania season.

Matt Hardy also gave his pick for the women’s Royal Rumble match and went with a name that has been involved in major storylines recently.

“I would say on the women’s side, Liv Morgan.”

Liv Morgan is a safe bet, because the Judgment Day has been on a wild ride in recent memory. Morgan will also have Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez around to back her up.

Only time will tell how things pan out at the 2026 Royal Rumble, or who might show up. Matt Hardy has certainly weighed into things.
