Current Rumored Frontrunner for Men’s Royal Rumble Winner at 2026 WWE Royal Rumble

Next year’s WWE Royal Rumble event will be taking place on January 31, 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This will be the first time that WWE will be holding a Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia.

WrestleVotes Radio reported that their sources stated that WWE officials currently view Bron Breakker as the “white board favorite” to win next year’s Men’s Royal Rumble match. The term “white board” is in reference to the white board that was featured in the WWE creative office that was shown in the WWE Unreal docuseries on Netflix.

It was reported that plans for the winner of the match could change from now until next month’s event.

Breakker is currently scheduled to face off against CM Punk for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the WWE RAW show on January 5, 2026 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
