Brock Lesnar Declares for WWE Royal Rumble in Video, Joins Rhodes, Reigns, More, Full Entrant List

Brock Lesnar announced Wednesday that he will be part of the men’s Royal Rumble match at the Royal Rumble premium live event in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

Lesnar called in during the Pat McAfee Show and declared for the 30-man extravaganza, saying, “I’m heading to the Royal Rumble, boys. I’m gonna win.”

With The Beast Incarnate joining the fray, the official entry list for the 2026 men’s Royal Rumble match thus far is as follows:

The 48-year-old Lesnar returned to WWE programming at SummerSlam in August after two years away. He shocked the WWE Universe by appearing and laying out John Cena with an F-5.

Since then, Lesnar has competed in a pair of matches, decimating Cena at Wrestlepalooza and then coming out on the winning end of a WarGames match at Survivor Series.

Lesnar is already a two-time Royal Rumble winner, and if he wins it a third time, he will tie WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin for the most Rumble wins in history.

A 10-time world champion in WWE, winning the Royal Rumble would ensure Lesnar a WWE Championship or World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.

Reigns, Rhodes and Breakker are a few of the Superstars who feel more likely to win the Rumble than Lesnar, but even if The Beast doesn’t win, the Royal Rumble could possibly set the stage for his WrestleMania match.

Gunther and Femi are among those who Lesnar could potentially mix it up with in the Rumble in order to begin the build toward a WrestleMania clash.

Win or lose, Lesnar’s star power is undeniable, and his involvement makes the men’s Royal Rumble match feel like an even bigger deal.
