Backstage News on Names Expected for WWE Royal Rumble – With the Royal Rumble drawing closer, a new report has provided insight into several WWE names expected to be present during Royal Rumble week in Saudi Arabia. According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, a group of high-profile talents are currently scheduled to travel for the event, even though their on-screen roles have not yet been finalized.
The names listed in the report include Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, LA Knight, Chad Gable, Tiffany Stratton, Jacob Fatu, and Dominik Mysterio. Several of these performers have been off WWE television in recent weeks due to storyline developments or injuries, making their inclusion on the travel list particularly notable.
One name drawing specific attention is Jacob Fatu. Fatu has been absent from WWE programming, leading to questions about his status. However, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful provided a positive update, stating that he has heard Fatu is in “good shape” heading into the Royal Rumble period. While that does not confirm an in-ring return, it suggests that his absence may be nearing an end.
The report emphasizes that being scheduled for the trip does not necessarily mean these talents will compete in the Royal Rumble matches themselves. At this time, WWE has not confirmed individual match assignments, surprise appearances, or storyline involvement for any of the names listed. They are simply expected to be present in Saudi Arabia around the time of the event.
As of this writing, WWE has only officially announced the two traditional Royal Rumble matches, with no additional title bouts or specialty matches confirmed. More announcements are expected as the event approaches and creative plans continue to take shape.
The Royal Rumble remains one of WWE’s most closely watched events of the year, and the presence of several major stars has already fueled anticipation. With multiple talents returning to the travel schedule and roles still undefined, the final card could take shape rapidly in the coming weeks.
