WWE Royal Rumble 2026: 10 Surprise Entrants We Could See
6. Chad Gable
Chad Gable was having one hell of a 2025 until he suffered a tragic rotator cuff injury. This saw him written off WWE television after being attacked by Penta on the June 23rd episode of Monday Night Raw, but there have been plenty of signs that the leader of American Alpha (and possible El Grande Americano) could be ready for his big return to WWE.
Gable has been seen recently at WWE's Performance Center in Florida and has been posting videos of himself getting back into shape across his various social media accounts. This exciting development opens the door for a return at the Royal Rumble, and there many different lanes he could take upon his return.
The team of American Made (Julius and Brutus Creed) have been working house shows across October and November and Ivy Nile is still available, so a reunion with American Alpha could be on the cards. However, the Rumble match itself is far likelier to include a comedic spot involving him confronting El Grande Americano, as that particular character has continued to wreak havoc on WWE despite his absence.
