Runners-Up – Elijah and Mustafa Ali
The two wrestlers are not related to any Championship, as they will face at TNA Genesis 2026. Elijah made a surprise appearance in the audience at WWE Saturday Night Main Event XLII. Maybe it wasn’t a surprise for some, but it was, at least, one for me. Popping up in Riyadh, just like he popped up at John Cena’s final match, Elijah could bring nostalgic fun to the Rumble that the Saudi crowd would appreciate.
Mustafa Ali made an interesting comeback at the NXT vs TNA ShowDown. The Order 4’s leader reminded Ethan Page that he was still owed a title match he initially earned before his release from WWE. He may have come up short, but Ali is a surprising character. He is capable of absolutely everything to win, including distracting an opponent with belly dancers coming to the ring. Ali could come to Riyadh to ensure the Saudi trusts Ali.
