Royal Rumble has always been one of the most anticipated events of the whole year, and it is mostly because of the Royal Rumble matches. There has been a lot of speculation, including the two Royal Rumble matches that are going to take place at the Royal Rumble event of 2026. The fans have already started discussing the potential winners of the two Royal Rumble matches.
Last year, WWE tried to deliver something unpredictable as Jey Uso won the men's Royal Rumble match. But ultimately, this decision turned out to be a failure as the majority of the fans hated this decision, and Jey Uso could not turn out to be a worthy World Champion either. Presently, he is back in the mid card division where he was previously at.
Roman Reigns is not the favourite to win the men's Royal Rumble 2026
This time, WWE is going a little cautious about selecting the winner of the men's Royal Rumble match for Royal Rumble 2026. Roman Reigns had been the long time favourite to win the men's Royal Rumble match of 2026. Previously, he was scheduled to compete with Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship, but this match is not happening anymore since Rollins is injured.
Bron Breakker is the present favourite to win the match
Later sources claimed that the plans are still the same and Roman Reigns will win the men's Royal Rumble match of 2026, but he will challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. But latest reports from WrestleVotes suggest that Bron Breakker is presently pitched to win the men's Royal Rumble match. They reported the following;
Roman Reigns is also a favourite to win men's Royal Rumble 2026
“Bron Breakker is your current… whiteboard favorite, as so bluntly described to us to win the Royal Rumble. An idea has been strongly considered within creative circles that would see Breakker win the Royal Rumble on January 31 from Saudi Arabia. Regardless of the announced match for the January 5, Monday Night Raw for the world title in Brooklyn versus CM Punk… we can report that the current favorite, or the odds on favorite, as creative stands right now, is for Bron Breakker to win the men’s Royal Rumble.”
Bron Breakker is one of the biggest future projects of WWE right now, and he has been working in the main roster of the promotion for the last couple of years. It looks like the promotion is now considering promoting him as the next face, and he is also rumoured to challenge CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 42. So he remains a contender for the men's Royal Rumble 2026 match along with Roman Reigns.
