Roman Reigns Declares – Updated List of Royal Rumble 2026 Entrants (1/23) – During the January 23 episode of WWE SmackDown, several more names were officially added to the Royal Rumble lineup, continuing to shape both the men’s and women’s matches just one week before the premium live event.
Roman Reigns was confirmed for the Men’s Royal Rumble match through a video package that aired during the show. The announcement marked Reigns’ return to singles competition following his last in-ring appearance at Survivor Series WarGames 2025. At that event, Reigns teamed with CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and The Usos in a WarGames victory over The Vision, Brock Lesnar, and Drew McIntyre.
In addition to Reigns’ announcement, Solo Sikoa declared himself for the Men’s Royal Rumble during the episode. Sikoa’s entry adds another major name to an already stacked field, especially given his ongoing presence on SmackDown and his connection to Reigns. Jordynne Grace also officially declared herself for the Women’s Royal Rumble match, further strengthening a division that continues to grow week by week.
With the Royal Rumble now just days away, both matches are beginning to take clearer shape. The men’s field features a mix of former world champions, rising stars, and high-profile returns, while the women’s lineup includes former champions, NXT standouts, and powerhouses capable of changing the match at any moment.
Below is the updated list of announced participants as of the January 23 SmackDown episode.
