A new report has offered insight on whether names like Chris Jericho, Powerhouse Hobbs, and LA Knight are expected at the WWE Royal Rumble this weekend.

LA Knight has been absent from WWE television since December 8 after getting taken out by The Vision, but he could be returning soon.

LA Knight briefly appeared during TNA Thursday Night Impact’s AMC debut when a 2021 CarShield commercial aired. The TNA Impact broadcast on AMC opened with AJ Styles and a six-man tag before the break that included LA Knight’s CarShield appearance.

Oba Femi appears on his way to WWE's main roster. According to Sapp (h/t Ortman ), Femi won, then vacated his NXT Championship so that he wouldn't need to eat a loss and look weak on his way to the main roster. WrestleVotes reported he's headed to Raw for a big spot on the program.

The WWE return date for LA Knight has potentially been spoiled. The Megastar has not appeared on WWE television since the December 8, 2025, episode of RAW.

WWE Royal Rumble 2026 updated betting odds, new confirmed entrants and reports of the Riyadh event having the biggest stage production ever.

When WWE was in Europe, people watching in the United States didn't have to wait until Monday night to watch Raw. The Royal Rumble will stream on ESPN Unlimited in the United States. It will appear on Netflix outside the United States.

A major spoiler has emerged about the return of a WWE legend at this weekend’s Royal Rumble, and the news comes straight from the person themself. This Saturday in Saudi Arabia, the road to WrestleMania 42 officially begins with the January classic that is the Royal Rumble.
