WWE Royal Rumble 2026: Predicting All 30 Entrants

25. Penta (#6)

Admittedly, this could be ambitious, because masked favourite Penta hasn't been seen since going down with an injury during a match vs. Solo Sikoa on the 24 November 2025 edition of Raw. Will he heal up in time for the Rumble? Hmm, could be pushing it, but stranger things have happened.

Perhaps Penta will channel his inner John Cena from 2008 to surprise everyone by taking his place in the match. If so, then he might need a shorter-than-usual stint between the ropes to shake off some of that ring rust and ease himself back in. Think of the heat if Paul eliminated such a celebrated worker from the Rumble.

Again, this is up in the air. Rey Fenix might well have to take his brother's place in the match as a contingency plan.
