Key Names Behind WWE Royal Rumble Broadcast Revealed

TLDR

WWE SmackDown director Lee Lipschulz produced the 2026 Royal Rumble broadcast in Riyadh, taking full control of the in-ring action, pre-show, and post-show segments. Longtime WWE director Marty Miller, who typically handles the company's biggest shows including Royal Rumble, stayed stateside to direct TKO's Zuffa Boxing broadcast on Paramount+ instead. The event featured LED lighting that made the venue appear more empty on television than it actually was.
