Royal Rumble 2026 Production Expected To Be WrestleMania-Level

TLDR

According to PWInsider, there was backstage chatter during this week's WWE RAW that the production plans for Royal Rumble 2026 are on the level of WrestleMania, with sources saying this could be the most elaborate WWE production ever staged in Saudi Arabia. The Royal Rumble is set for January 31 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where WWE has built their own custom venue from scratch in the King Abdullah Financial District rather than using an existing stadium. According to internal metrics, Royal Rumble 2026 is already WWE's most in-demand live event ever.
