WWE Royal Rumble 2026: Predicting Literally EVERYTHING!

10. Miscellaneous Predictions

WWE will have a good few surprise entrants in mind for both Rumble matches.

It remains to be seen if he'll be there, obviously, but Chris Jericho has been rumoured for this year's show for months now, and it really does look like it's only a matter of time before he leaps over from Tony Khan's AEW. 'Y2J' is almost upon us all over again, and that'll be a glorious comeback that gives the Royal Rumble show even more headline making power than it already has.

Others who could show up on the men's side? Powerhouse Hobbs, TNA's Leon Slater, perhaps a couple of legends who haven't been knocking around for a while etc. People expect to see at least one legendary cameo, although Jericho would scratch that itch if he showed face on the night.

Paige has been pencilled in on fan wish lists for the women's Rumble too. If she appears, then the ex-Saraya would be working her first WWE match since late-2017. In other words, it's been some wait for the Brit, but it'd make sense if she showed up as a shocker over in Riyadh this weekend.

WWE has already named a string of full-timers for the women's match, so the scope for legendary cameos is fairly small. Oh well, they've done the whole Molly Holly/Michelle McCool/Kelly Kelly thing to death since the division got a Rumble back in 2018, but fans shouldn't rule out seeing Trish Stratus again.

She's done more over the past number of years than show up for a quick Rumble payday, at least.
