#5. Triple H accidentally revealed a major name is entering this year’s Royal Rumble

During his recent appearance on Get Up on ESPN, Triple H claimed that this year’s Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble is stacked with some incredible names, including Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, and Liv Morgan.

However, The Game accidentally revealed that Randy Orton was also going to enter the Men’s Rumble this year. This was a major spoiler, as The Viper hasn’t declared himself for the Royal Rumble yet.

“It’s one of the most star-studded rumbles that I can recall. You know, you’ve got Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Jey Uso, Bron Breakker, Logan Paul’s gonna be in there. You know, on the women’s side, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan. They’re just stacked cards. This one is gonna be epic.”

#4. Brock Lesnar announced himself for the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble

Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE TV since Survivor Series: WarGames 2025. During a recent edition of the Pat McAfee Show, The Beast Incarnate called McAfee and revealed that he was participating in this year’s Royal Rumble.

Lesnar added that he was confident that he would win the 30-man competition in Saudi Arabia.

“I’m heading to the Royal Rumble, I’m gonna win it,” Lesnar said.

#3. Braun Strowman shared a heartbreaking update on his health

Former WWE Superstar Braun Strowman recently took to Instagram to reveal that he was in the hospital for the past two days, as he had been dealing with an infection that came from his knee.

The Monster of All Monsters also mentioned that he was in severe pain and was waiting for the results to come back so he could find out the real cause behind the infection.

In the post’s caption, he thanked everyone for their wishes before highlighting that this setback won’t bring him down.

“Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes. Still a bumpy road ahead, but I’ve got this!!! #FInfections #CantStopme #ThankYou #GodBless,” he wrote.

#2. A popular WWE star could miss Royal Rumble 2026

WWE Royal Rumble 2026 is just around the corner, scheduled for January 31, 2026. Ahead of this much-anticipated event, Jey Uso made an appearance on ESPN’s Sports Center. During the conversation, The Yeet Master showcased his love for his twin brother Jimmy Uso.

However, the former World Heavyweight Champion revealed that Big Jim was in the United States at the moment. This is a major spoiler on Jimmy’s status for the Rumble, as he could miss this year’s event because it will be held in Saudi Arabia.

“Man, love the Big Jim though. I don’t know if he’s going to see this; he’s back in the States right now, so love you, Uce,” he said.

#1. AJ Lee threatened to divorce CM Punk

AJ Lee and CM Punk have been married since 2014. During their recent appearance on First We Feast’s Hot Ones Versus, the former WWE Divas Champion threatened her husband. At the start of the show, she hilariously told Punk that they would get a divorce if she were forced to eat a hot wing.

“The second I eat a wing, we’re divorcing.”

AJ Lee is heavily rumored to return to in-ring action during the Women’s Royal Rumble this weekend. It will be interesting to see what the Triple H-led creative team has planned for the former WWE Divas Champion’s future.
