The Countdown
- CM Punk is here. He is asked about his Royal Rumble win. He bets on Oba Femi, Bron Breakker, and Gunther for the Men’s Royal Rumble. Nia Jax, Becky Lynch, and Roxanne Perez are his favorites for the Women’s Rumble.
- Panel question: Will it be AJ Styles’ last match? CM Punk hopes not.
- Vic Joseph’s interview with Shawn Michaels. He talks about Oba Femi‘s debut at the WWE Royal Rumble.
- Je’Von Evans is nervous, but excited to be in the ring with legends.
- Fahd Tuwaiq, the first Saudi Arabian wrestler in WWE, is presented.
- Fifteen minutes before the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble. As I’m used to saying, because TNA could be involved, the French Nygma is on board tonight. It’s almost 8 PM here in France. I just can’t wait for the show to start.
- The listed order as of now, which could still change, is the women’s Rumble first, then Styles vs. GUNTHER, then McIntyre vs. Zayn, then the men’s Rumble. The PWInsider report also notes that WWE has planned for both the women’s and men’s Rumbles to be around 75 minutes long, but there’s room for that to be adjusted.
