WWE’s Royal Rumble 2026 is approaching, and Wrestling Inc. is ready to forecast the winners of each match, setting the stage for who might vie for the world title at WrestleMania 42. This year’s Rumble promises high stakes: Can Sami Zayn clinch the WWE Championship from Drew McIntyre, who he has never defeated? Will AJ Styles, facing the so-called “career killer” Gunther, manage to extend his WWE legacy? The men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches promise to be thrilling, as the winners earn a guaranteed title shot at WrestleMania. So, who will come out on top: Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, or any surprise entrants like Chris Jericho or Powerhouse Hobbs? Let’s dive into the predictions.
Career-Ending Match: Gunther (63%)
AJ Styles is wagering his entire career against “The Ring General” Gunther, and a surprising 63% of Wrestling Inc. staff anticipate this could indeed be the end for Styles. Having been linked with retirement, Styles seems to be in a precarious position—and Gunther, fresh off notable wins, is poised to cement his reputation as a “career killer.” Speculations about Styles’ future have intensified, especially with his contract ending before WrestleMania 42. In a narrative twist, Gunther’s rise comes with memorable moments, yet a loss here could jeopardize his momentum.
Undisputed WWE Championship: Drew McIntyre (81%)
While Sami Zayn’s fan base hopes for an underdog victory, 81% of Wrestling Inc. analysts believe Drew McIntyre will retain his title at the Royal Rumble. Zayn’s recent trades and narrative build-up might create excitement among fans, but for now, McIntyre’s storyline appears stronger, geared towards continuing his reign with potential challengers around the corner, like Cody Rhodes.
Women’s Royal Rumble: Liv Morgan (38%)
Among the 17 announced participants for the Women’s Royal Rumble, the majority of our analysts favor Liv Morgan, who stands as a top contender with a 38% chance of winning. A victory would not only mark a significant comeback for Morgan but solidify her impressive resume. Surprises could arise, with Bianca Belair also being a potential dark horse due to her past storylines, but Morgan’s talent keeps her in the spotlight.
Men’s Royal Rumble: Roman Reigns (44%)
In this competitive setting, Roman Reigns, along with past Rumble winners Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso, looks poised to reclaim his Undisputed WWE Championship, leading 44% of the predictions. Bron Breaker follows closely behind with 25%, having made waves on recent WWE programs. With veteran contenders like Brock Lesnar and emerging talents in the mix, the path to victory is filled with potential twists.
Fan Take:
This news is crucial for wrestling fans as it sets the stage for what promises to be an exhilarating Royal Rumble and WrestleMania season. The outcomes could significantly impact storylines and rivalries, shaping the future of WWE and its top superstars.
