While WWE fans are anxiously awaiting potential surprises in the Royal Rumble 2026, there’s also curiosity regarding who will enter at number one in both matches.
With both men’s and women’s bouts on the card for the January 27 match, there will be two different number one entrants that could end up going bell-to-bell to capture victory in the end.
Here are six potential number one entrants in the WWE Royal Rumble 2026.
6. Sami Zayn

A storyline that seems to be building over time in WWE is Sami Zayn’s quest to capture his first ever World title on the main roster.
Recently referencing an emotionally powerful story about sitting front row with his son at Saturday Night’s Main Event that hosted John Cena’s last match, Zayn’s mission is even more personal.
While he may be competing against Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship on the night, Zayn’s path to meeting that goal could go straight through the Royal Rumble and find him achieving an admirable feat.
Potentially being the perfect underdog to enter at number one and go bell to bell, the Riyadh crowd would be thrilled to see Zayn capture a big win.
