Which TNA Wrestlers Could Enter the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble, And Why?

5- TNA World Tag Team Champions Jeff and/or Matt Hardy

Matt and Jeff Hardy have re-signed with TNA Wrestling. Any expectations of a farewell WWE run for The Hardy Boyz in 2026 have dissipated. However, there could still be some WWE involvement from the brothers, even if it’s just for one-off appearances.

Potentially being the perfect nostalgic surprise, Jeff and/or Matt could make their return to the Royal Rumble. From a partnership’s perspective, that also means more doors opened for NXT talents to come feud with The Greatest Tag Team of All-Time.

About Steph Franchomme

Steph, for Stephanie, is not only eNYGMAtic, charismatic, but also “très chic.” Living in France, her birth country, she broke the language barrier to become a respected writer and interviewer on many wrestling promotions. She has developed a very special bond with TNA Wrestling over time to the point of becoming an Authority on the company. The French Nygma, as she loves to call herself, has been a wrestling writer and editor for nearly a decade for SteelChair Magazine/Wrestling SC, TWM and Distortion Media. She has interviewed hundreds of wrestlers from WWE, MLW, TNA, NXT, AEW, and many more promotions. The Nygma is now the new “Authority” on TNA Wrestling and NXT for Last Word on Pro Wrestling. The writer/editor also runs @3WWrestling, her own platform.
