Even before the NXTNA partnership, TNA Wrestling talents started to appear in WWE Royal Rumble matches. In 2022, Mickie James turned the 2022 edition into a “Hardcore Country.” Jordynne Grace made a Juggernaut effect on the 2024 edition. And no one could believe it when the name “Joe Hendry” appeared on the screen last year.
There could be some intriguing entrants from TNA Wrestling that end up in the 2026 Men’s and Women’s Rumble matches. Then, James, Grace, and Hendry were all TNA Knockouts or World Champions when they participated in the Rumble.
If we want to ramble, the whole TNA roster could appear in Riyadh. The fact that only Champions have ever appeared is shortening the list to 8 people. Then, the WWE Royal Rumble 2026 takes place after some important TNA events, with some World title matches scheduled. The Thursday Night iMPACT premiere on AMC and TNA Genesis 2026 could be game changers. All in all, here are the Nygma choices.
