This year’s Men’s WWE Royal Rumble can have a highly unexpected #30 entrant.
The WWE Royal Rumble 2026 Premium Live Event is set to make history with its first-ever edition outside the United States. It will take place on Saturday, January 31, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
One of the key attractions will be the namesake 30-man Men’s Rumble match for a title shot at WrestleMania 42.
Moreover, the key part is the coveted #30 spot, which has produced past winners and put the superstar in an advantageous situation. Here are five WWE superstars who can enter at #30 in the WWE Royal Rumble match this year.
5. Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns has been absent from WWE television since the 2025 Survivor Series PLE match. The Royal Rumble match could be a great spot for The OTC to re-emerge in WWE, and entering at the Number 30th spot could lead to his second Rumble victory after over a decade.

4. Logan Paul
Logan Paul was the 30th entrant in the 2025 Royal Rumble, which led him to last until the final three superstars before John Cena eliminated him.
The Maverick, with Paul Heyman now by his side, could pull some strings and get that same spot in this year’s Rumble match to earn a title match at WrestleMania.
3. Bron Breakker
Bron Breakker has ascended to a much higher level of stardom than he was during last year’s Royal Rumble match. From being aligned with Paul Heyman to marquee matches and also contending for the World Heavyweight Title, Breakker is one of the hottest stars on the roster.
This puts him as a top choice to enter the Royal Rumble at #30 and have a big advantage at winning the namesake 30-man over-the-top-rope melee.

2. Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins has been out of action with a shoulder injury he sustained at the 2025 WWE Crown Jewel PLE. The Visionary was also outcasted by his own faction, The Vision, and had to relinquish his World title. Rollins could make a major return as the 30th entrant in the Royal Rumble match in an attempt to enter the main event scene once again.
1. Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho’s rumoured return to WWE has been a major subject of debate since his AEW contract reportedly expired at the end of last year. For a magnanimous return of a top star like Jericho, entering the Royal Rumble at the #30 spot makes perfect sense to create a memorable moment that would send shockwaves across the industry.
When and where will Royal Rumble 2026 take place?
The 39th edition will take place on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of Riyadh Season.
