As the go-home show for the 2026 Royal Rumble, fewer spots are remaining to enter the Royal Rumble matches this year. In fact, if you ask Raw General Manager Adam Pearce, the Men's Royal Rumble match is already full to capacity.
This was revealed in a backstage segment on Monday Night Raw when Finn Balor approached Pearce with the intent to enter the match, motivated by CM Punk to fight for another title opportunity. Pearce said that Balor already had his shot at the title and he filled up all the other spots. It is at capacity and there are no spots remaining for Balor to be added into the match.
Interestingly enough, there are only 15 Superstars currently confirmed for the Men's Royal Rumble, with a few more being added on Raw with Pearce specifically granting the entirety of The Vision (Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory) entry. Je'Von Evans and Oba Femi were also announced to be in the match.
That still leaves half the field, so who else is confirmed? We'll find out some more names likely this upcoming Friday Night SmackDown, but Balor doesn't appear to be one of them.
As far as the Women's Royal Rumble is concerned, Maxxine Dupri seems to be in the match, and while Natalya wasn't outright 100% confirmed, it was implied, as well as Becky Lynch outright saying she was declared. Kairi Sane continues to be in Asuka's corner with no clarification as to whether or not Sane is in the match or will just somehow interfere to try to help The Empress of Tomorrow win.
The full list of Royal Rumble entrants we know at the moment are as follows:
- Men's Match = Austin Theory, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Cody Rhodes, Dragon Lee, Gunther, Jacob Fatu, Je'Von Evans, Jey Uso, Logan Paul, Oba Femi, Penta, Rey Mysterio, Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa
- Women's Match = Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Bayley, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Chelsea Green, Giulia, Iyo Sky, Jordynne Grace, Lash Legend, Liv Morgan, Lyra Valkyria, Maxxine Dupri, Nia Jax, Raquel Rodriguez, Rhea Ripley, Roxanne Perez
