An early Royal Rumble favorite has emerged.
While the show is still almost 2 months away, there are no main roster PPVs scheduled for December or January 2026, so the talk about potential Royal Rumble winners has already begun.
Fightful Select recently provided an update on this matter, noting that as of right now, Bron Breakker is the 'white board' favorite to win the prestigious battle royal next year.
The whiteboard is a reference to the board seen on WWE Unreal, which the creative team uses to map out different scenarios and storyline options for shows.
This is an interesting update as Breakker is already scheduled to face CM Punk for the World Title at the January 5 Raw, after pinning the Heavyweight Champion in the WarGames match at Survivor Series.
The show also saw Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns renewing their rivalry after the loss, and the popular belief is that these two WWE megastars are headed towards another WrestleMania match next year.
A Royal Rumble victory for Breakker would suggest that the company is planning to stretch the rivalry between the Vision and the Straight Edge Star and the feud will not conclude before the Show of Shows.
Things could change in wrestling, however, and there is enough time for the upcoming PPV that the creative could change their minds.
