The Royal Rumble 2026 is already shaping up to be one of WWE’s biggest events ever—and fans are scrambling to get in.
The official ticketing site reveals that over 868,000 people are currently in the online queue for tickets to the Royal Rumble in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. That staggering number shows just how insane the demand is for the Premium Live Event, which is set to go down on January 31, 2026.
This level of interest comes hot on the heels of WWE dropping the official event poster, which confirmed a star-studded lineup from both the men’s and women’s divisions. On the men’s side, CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Jey Uso, Dominik Mysterio, and GUNTHER are front and center—sending a strong signal that this Rumble could lead directly into a stacked WrestleMania season.
The women’s poster lineup includes Liv Morgan, Becky Lynch, Tiffany Stratton, Stephanie Vaquer, and Maxxine Dupri—giving fans every reason to expect a must-watch women’s Rumble as well.
That said, some concerns have lingered about the card’s build. According to a previous report by Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer, the current plan for the Rumble is to be a four-match show.
“The current plan for Royal Rumble is a four-match show with two title matches and the two Rumble matches. The two [title] matches are not finalized even though it’s just under two months away.”
Even with a slim match lineup for now, fans clearly aren’t waiting around to see what gets announced next. The event is already one of the hottest tickets on the WWE calendar—and that 868,000+ queue proves it.
