WWE Royal Rumble 2026: Predicting All 30 Entrants

5. Joe Hendry (#26)

Joe Hendry was the lucky one who replaced an injured Kevin Owens at 'Mania 41. The Scot's match with Randy Orton was short and a squash, but now Hendry is part of the WWE main roster and looking forward to further PLE memories. There's absolutely no reason why he shouldn't take part in his second Royal Rumble.

Randy's face would be a picture if Joe's music hit straight after his entrance and a few RKOs on some of the stragglers (like Aleister Black, Dominik Mysterio and others if they're still inside the ring). Orton would start licking his chops at the prospect of slapping Hendry around some more, but things would be different in 2026.

There's something to be said for Joe holding his own this time around. Not eliminating Randy, but coming close.
