Two Match Additions Added to WWE Royal Rumble 2026 Card

Just ahead of WWE Royal Rumble 2026 kicks off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, two unannounced matches are reportedly scheduled to take place as part of today’s pre-show action—giving fans in attendance some bonus matchups outside the official card.

According to PWInsider Elite, WWE has internally listed the following pre-show bouts for today’s live event:

• The New Day & Grayson Waller vs. Shinsuke Nakamura & The Motor City Machine Guns
• The Wyatt Sicks vs. The MFTs

While WWE has officially listed these matches internally as part of the pre-show, it’s still unclear if either will be broadcast during the two-hour Countdown show or kept strictly for the live crowd in the building.

The main Royal Rumble 2026 card already includes:

• Men’s Royal Rumble Match
• Women’s Royal Rumble Match
• GUNTHER vs. AJ Styles (Career Threatening Match)
• Undisputed WWE Championship: Drew McIntyre (c) vs. Sami Zayn

With two additional matches now expected, the live crowd in Riyadh is getting serious value—and WWE’s star power is being flexed across the entire show window.
