WWE Spoils Men's Royal Rumble Reveal During SmackDown (WWE News)
SPOILER WARNING! Unless WWE changes this before Royal Rumble, of course.
WWE's production team accidentally revealed that The Vision's Bron Breakker will be the #1 entrant in the men's Royal Rumble match during the international feed for Friday's episode of SmackDown over in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A graphic popped up with "Bron Breakker Entrant #1" and some other miscellaneous details like height and weight during Axiom's entrance with Nathan Frazer for a match vs. Johnny Gargano.
Unsurprisingly, the nameplate quickly vanished and one for Fraxiom flashed up instead.
This is the kind of clanger that'll get somebody into trouble behind the scenes, but there is time to rectify things. WWE could get some laughs out of people if they switch Bron's positioning to #2 on Saturday. That's effectively the same thing as going from #1 to the end, but you've got to feel for the staff member responsible.
They must've been horrified when they noticed their error, and it'd be fun to find out what Triple H's reaction was behind the scenes. Fingers crossed nobody got chewed out, but it'd perhaps be understandable if they were in the heat of the moment - this is going to be one of the biggest PLEs of 2026, after all.
Breakker being #1 suggests that he'll be this year's 'Iron Man'. The Vision member might not win the whole thing, but he'd turn a lot of heads if he went from the start to the final 4, for example. Stay tuned to find out if WWE do switch things up or if they just hope no-one really cares.
Over to you, Hunter.
