King-slayer Gunther has already sent John Cena and Bill Goldberg into retirement, and he could steal the show at WWE Royal Rumble 2026 by adding another storied name to that list: AJ Styles. The Phenomenal one was going to call time on his career in 2026 anyway, but the Ring General has made it his personal mission to deny him a farewell tour. If AJ loses their bout, he steps away from the squared circle for good.
This is the first edition of Royal Rumble to take place outside North America, a decision that’s provoked widespread criticism, which seems a little rich at this moment in time. It will take place at a purpose-built outdoor arena in the King Abdullah Financial District – an arena that will be torn down immediately after Royal Rumble’s conclusion – and, as ever, the men’s and women’s 30-person Royal Rumble matches will serve as the main event.
