Recent updates suggest that two notable WWE wrestlers might make a comeback at the Royal Rumble 2026 event. With the Rumble scheduled for this Saturday, excitement and speculation continue to build about potential entrants in both the men’s and women’s matches.
One name generating buzz is former WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton, who hasn’t been seen on TV since losing her title to Jade Cargill during the main event of November 1st’s Saturday Night. PWInsider Elite reports rumors indicating that Stratton could reappear in the storyline at this weekend’s Royal Rumble. Despite her time away, several betting agencies still list Stratton among the favorites to win, alongside Liv Morgan and Bianca Belair, who has also been absent.
On the men’s side, Brock Lesnar is a frequently mentioned contender for a Royal Rumble return. His last TV appearance was on November 29 at Survivor Series, where he teamed up with Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Bronson Reed, and Bron Breaker to secure a win in the Men’s WarGames match. Reports from PWInsider Elite suggest strong signs pointing toward Lesnar’s participation in this week’s event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Notably, Lesnar and Stratton feature prominently in promotional materials, whereas Bianca Belair’s participation remains unconfirmed.
Fan Take: The potential returns of Tiffany Stratton and Brock Lesnar add significant anticipation to this year’s Royal Rumble, promising fresh storylines and intense competition. For WWE fans, these comebacks could reshape the forecast for future championship scenarios and elevate the overall excitement of the event.
