The renowned Kingdom Arena will open its gates once again on January 31st.

We’re still a little over a month away from the event, but fans can’t contain their excitement for the 30-Man Battle Royal.

Earlier this year, WWE put money on Jey Uso, an underdog who rallied fans in his quest to become the World Heavyweight Champion.

The year 2026 will be nothing short of a spectacle. It’s a golden opportunity for a WWE Superstar to punch their ticket to the main event of WrestleMania.

Lately, fans have been buzzing since a document containing the participants for the Men’s Royal Rumble Match has been making the rounds on social media.

The viral image has declared Roman Reigns as the winner, while Sami Zayn is listed as the runner-up in the match. The number 30 spot has been taken by none other than a returning Chris Jericho.

The lineup of the entrants is as follows:

  1. Logan Paul
  2. Oba Femi
  3. Shinsuke Nakamura
  4. Austin Theory
  5. Dominik Mysterio
  6. Rusev
  7. Sami Zayn – Runner-up
  8. Penta
  9. Bronson Reed
  10. Finn Balor
  11. El Grande Americano
  12. Brock Lesnar
  13. Bron Breakker
  14. Carmelo Hayes
  15. Rey Mysterio
  16. Jey Uso
  17. Trick Williams
  18. AJ Styles
  19. Rey Fenix
  20. Gunther
  21. Ilja Dragunov
  22. Roman Reigns – Winner
  23. Damian Priest
  24. The Miz
  25. Jimmy Uso
  26. Aleister Black
  27. Jack Fatu
  28. LA Knight
  29. Randy Orton
  30. Chris Jericho

Now, this brings us to the question: Is it real or fake?

Of course, the aforementioned list is bogus since WWE wouldn’t risk leaking all the entrants right before the Royal Rumble to kill the excitement.

WWE is unlikely to address the alleged leak, hence fans should take it with a grain of salt, like they do every year when a fake document surfaces online.

You can check out the viral post on X below:

Roman Reigns is favored to win the 2026 Men’s WWE Royal Rumble Match

Even though the fan-made card is fake, Roman Reigns is indeed a clear favorite heading into the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia.

The Original Tribal Chief last won the match in 2015 when he was a polarizing figure. A decade later, he is arguably the biggest babyface on the roster.

Roman Reigns teased rekindling an old rivalry with Cody Rhodes in his most recent appearance at Survivor Series: WarGames.

Should the Head of the Table win the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match, a trilogy with The American Nightmare for the Undisputed WWE Championship could be on the cards for WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas next year.
