WWE Royal Rumble 2026 Early Start Time, Odds, New Entrants And Favorites

WWE Royal Rumble 2026: The Stage is Set for Riyadh's Big Event

The wait is almost over for WWE fans, as the stage is set for the highly anticipated WWE Royal Rumble 2026, which will take place on January 31 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This year's event promises to be a thrilling spectacle, with a talented pool of wrestlers vying for the top spot.

Roman Reigns and Liv Morgan are currently atop the favorites list, setting the stage for an exciting clash. Reigns' declaration was made last night on SmackDown, while Morgan has been steadily building momentum throughout her journey. WWE's reluctance to promote the event outside of announcing entrants has sparked a sense of anticipation among fans.

Meanwhile, several potential surprise entrants have caught attention, including Chris Jericho, Will Hobbs, Bianca Belair, and Oba Femi. These names are sure to add an element of unpredictability to the match.

As for odds, Roman Reigns is listed at +175, while Liv Morgan sits at -115. Gunther (+200) and Sami Zayn (+400) are among those who are seen as dark horses in the competition.

The women's Royal Rumble has also generated significant buzz, with Tiffany Stratton emerging as a surprise contender after being previously listed at +1000.

A notable trend is Jacob Fatu's sharp rise in odds over the past week, shooting up to +700 from +2000 just last week. WWE fans are on high alert as this enigmatic superstar has sparked intense speculation about his involvement in the event.

The women's Royal Rumble sees Liv Morgan sitting atop the favorites list at -115, while Bianca Belair is listed at +200 and Tiffany Stratton at +700.

WWE SmackDown Ratings have shown a steady decline in viewership, with January 16th showing no total viewership available, totaling 0.21 in 18-49 demographics. The show's performance has been underwhelming in recent episodes.

The highly anticipated WWE Royal Rumble will take place on Saturday, January 31 at 11:00 am PST (2:00 pm EST) and can be streamed live on ESPN Unlimited.

Fans are eagerly anticipating the event, with ticket demand reaching a staggering 868,000 potential buyers. This year's Royal Rumble promises to be one for the books as WWE brings its signature spectacle to Riyadh.
 
omg can't wait for this royal rumble lol! roman reigns and liv morgan are def on my radar, but i'm also super intrigued by jacob fatu - his odds have been crazy low to high in like a week 🀯 anyone got a prediction? i've seen some pretty wild entrances go down before, so can't rule out the dark horses gunther or sami zayn. meanwhile, wwe's decline in smackdown viewership is kinda sad... hope they turn it around for this huge event πŸ’₯
 
I'm kinda hyped about this one, but WWE needs to get their act together on SmackDown viewership πŸ€”. I mean, 0.21 million in the 18-49 demographics? That's just not enough πŸ“‰. They need to revamp the show, give us more compelling storylines and matches, and for sure, make it a more engaging watch for new fans like me who are tuning in from all over the world 🌎.
 
omg i'm so hyped for the royal rumble!!! 🀩 i mean, who doesn't love a good underdog story? jacob fatu's odds just went from +2000 to +700 and now people are talking! that's some serious momentum πŸ’₯ meanwhile roman reigns and liv morgan are still on top, but you can never count out the dark horses like gunther and sami zayn πŸ€” it's gonna be such an exciting event in riyadh, can't wait to see all those wrestlers go at it! πŸŽͺ
 
I'm hyped for this royal rumble! 🀩 The stage is set and I can already imagine the drama unfolding on January 31st πŸ•°οΈ. Roman Reigns and Liv Morgan are looking strong, but that Chris Jericho surprise entrant could shake things up 😏. Can't wait to see Gunther and Sami Zayn make a comeback too! πŸ’₯ The women's rumble is heating up too - Tiffany Stratton's rise in odds is on point πŸš€. Ticket demand is crazy high, I'm just hoping WWE delivers an epic show πŸŽ‰
 
OMG 🀯 I'm so hyped for this year's Royal Rumble!!! It's gonna be lit πŸ˜† with all these amazing wrestlers competing for that top spot! Roman Reigns and Liv Morgan are def on top of my list, but I gotta keep an eye out for those dark horses like Gunther and Sami Zayn πŸ€”. And can we talk about Jacob Fatu? Like, what's going on with him? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ The way his odds have been changing is crazy! I'm also super stoked about the women's Royal Rumble - Tiffany Stratton has been a total underdog, but now she's all the rage πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. The crowd in Riyadh is gonna go wild, and I'm not just saying that 'cause it's on ESPN Unlimited πŸ“Ί. 868,000 potential buyers? That's insane! Can't wait for January 31st to roll around πŸŽ‰
 
I'm still trying to get used to all these new wrestlers 🀯. Like, remember when Brock Lesnar was the Big Dog? πŸ• Now it's Roman Reigns and I'm not really sure who Liv Morgan is... πŸ˜‚ Anyway, I think the women's Royal Rumble is gonna be lit! Bianca Belair seems like a solid contender to me πŸ’ͺ. And can someone please tell me what happened to The Miz? Last I saw him on SmackDown and he was all over the place 🀯. Oh, and I'm low-key excited for Chris Jericho to make an appearance - that guy's still got it 😎. But seriously, 868,000 people wanting tickets? That's wild! 🀯
 
πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ so another wrestling event is happening in Saudi Arabia... like, who doesn't love a good wrestling match, right? πŸ€” but seriously, 868k people wanting tickets is kinda crazy, that's more people than some concerts I've been to 🎡. and roman reigns is still a thing? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Liv Morgan's got the odds but can she really hold her own against everyone else? 🀯 guess we'll just have to wait and see... πŸ˜’
