Two WWE Stars Ruled Out for Royal Rumble Appearances

TLDR

Michin announced on January 29 that she and Kevin Owens will be hosting a Royal Rumble watch party at a Dave & Buster's location in Orlando, Florida during the premium live event. Kevin Owens has been sidelined since March 2025 due to a serious neck injury and has not been cleared to return to in-ring action, while Michin is currently inactive following an injury suffered during WWE's recent holiday tour. The announcement effectively rules out both performers from making surprise appearances in the Royal Rumble matches.
