On January 31, WWE Royal Rumble 2026 will take place from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and will be highlighted by two titular Rumble matches.

Over the past few years, fans have seen NXT talents getting their main roster debuts in the Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumbles.

This year, there are a number of names on the NXT roster that could make a name for themselves in the signature stipulation on January 31.

Here are nine NXT stars to potentially enter WWE Royal Rumble 2026.

9. Oba Femi

On the New Year’s Evil 2026 special of WWE NXT, Oba Femi defeated Leon Slater to retain the NXT Championship.

After the win, Femi shocked the world by vacating the NXT Championship and leaving the title belt in the center of the ring.

Following this move, it was confirmed that Femi was on his way to the WWE main roster and could make his presence felt in this year’s WWE Royal Rumble 2026 premium live event.

“The Ruler” has everything it takes to not only be a dominant force in the Men’s Royal Rumble, but he could win the whole thing and punch his ticket for the main event of WrestleMania 42.
