The 2026 Royal Rumble is less than a week away, but as of Monday, only half of the field was announced. Adam Pearce changed that, however, as six Rumble spots were announced, reportedly, the remainder of Raw’s allotment. Who joined the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble match? Let’s take a look.
2026 Men’s Royal Rumble – 6 New Names Added on Raw
Oba Femi
WWE has been teasing Oba Femi’s main roster arrival ever since he vacated the NXT Championship a month ago. Femi will be a great addition to either brand, and both SmackDown and Raw are vying for his services. On Saturday, he’ll have a chance to show both brands exactly who they are fighting for when he takes part in his first-ever Royal Rumble.
The 27-year-old Oba Femi is a force to be reckoned with. He is a two-time NXT Champion with his first reign lasting 263 days. He is also the longest-reigning NXT North American Champion at 273 days, though Ethan Page is less than a month away from resetting that record.
Guys like Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and of course, Roman Reigns, are all ones fans would love to see Femi stare down during the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble match. Chances are, fans will get their wish on some of that as it seems likely Femi will get a nice debut showcase, likely with several eliminations to his name.
