BREAKING: Brock Lesnar Announces His Status for the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble

Brock Lesnar aims for a third Royal Rumble victory, competing in the match that will launch WWE's Road to WrestleMania and determine title challengers in April.

  • On Jan. 28, 2026, Brock Lesnar called into The Pat McAfee Show to announce he will enter the men's Royal Rumble match on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at KAFD in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
  • After a nearly two-year absence, Lesnar returned at SummerSlam 2025, having last wrestled at Survivor Series in November while his hiatus coincided with the Vince McMahon lawsuit.
  • Lesnar's Rumble résumé includes being a two-time winner, having won in 2003 and 2022, setting a single-match record with 13 eliminations in 2020, and totaling 32 career eliminations.
  • Lesnar's entry raises the stakes for fellow competitors as his participation makes the men's Royal Rumble match harder and kicks off WWE's Road to WrestleMania.
  • Critics highlighted the timing amid related legal allegations as WWE faced criticism for downplaying misconduct in filings mentioning Lesnar and Vince McMahon during Royal Rumble week.
