Referee Assignments Revealed for WWE Royal Rumble 2026 – The full list of referee assignments for today’s WWE Royal Rumble 2026 Premium Live Event in Riyadh has surfaced, offering fans a rare look at how WWE is organizing officiating duties for one of its biggest shows of the year. PWInsider Elite reports that WWE has finalized the lineup across all six matches, including the two pre-show bouts and both Royal Rumble matches.
The pre-show will feature two multi-man clashes, each with its own assigned official. Danilo Anfibio is set to call the action when the Motor City Machine Guns team with Shinsuke Nakamura to face New Day and Grayson Waller. Eddie Orengo will handle officiating for The Wyatt Sicks vs. The MFTs, rounding out the early portion of the event.
For the main card, WWE has tapped some of its most seasoned referees. Charles Robinson will oversee the Undisputed WWE Championship match between Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn, a bout expected to carry heavy emotion and intensity. Meanwhile, Dan Engler has been assigned to the high-stakes showdown between AJ Styles and GUNTHER, where Styles’ career hangs in the balance.
Both the Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble matches will require additional support due to their unpredictable nature. Four referees will be stationed around the ring to manage eliminations and maintain order: Danilo Anfibio, Eddie Orengo, Jessika Carr, and Ryan Tran. With Anfibio and Orengo already working the pre-show, both officials will be pulling double duty throughout the night.
The depth of the officiating crew underscores the scale of today’s event. With two 30-person Rumble matches and multiple championship bouts, WWE is relying on its most trusted referees to help keep the action running smoothly from start to finish.
