Roman Reigns and Liv Morgan emerged victorious in the men's and women's Royal Rumble matches at WWE Royal Rumble 2026, held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The event marked the first time the Royal Rumble took place outside the United States.
Reigns, entering at No. 26, eliminated five competitors to secure his second Rumble win, joining Logan Paul, GUNTHER, and Jey Uso in the final four. He defeated GUNTHER to claim the victory. Meanwhile, Morgan overcame an injury comeback to win the women's Rumble, eliminating her Judgment Day stablemate Raquel Rodriguez and Tiffany Stratton in the final moments.
The event drew significant fan attention, particularly for Brock Lesnar's early elimination. Fans criticized the booking, noting his exit was overshadowed by Jey Uso's entrance music. Social media reactions labeled it a 'poorly booked' moment, with over 19,000 likes on a critical post. Some fans argued Lesnar's elimination should have been a more pivotal moment, while others speculated LA Knight was responsible.
Morgan's win follows a five-month injury absence, while Reigns' victory sets up a potential championship match at WrestleMania 42. Both winners will now choose their title opportunities for the upcoming event.
