WWE has added two new matches to the Royal Rumble 2026 pre-show card, though it remains unclear whether they will air during the live Countdown Show or be exclusive to the live crowd in Riyadh.
The first match will see The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) team with Grayson Waller to face Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) and Shinsuke Nakamura in six-man tag team action.
The second match continues the heated rivalry between The Wyatt Sicks and Solo Sikoa\'s MFT faction. This comes just over a week after MFT defeated Dexter Lumis and Joe Gacy to capture the WWE Tag Team Championships on SmackDown, ending The Wyatt Sicks\' 196-day reign. Solo Sikoa also stole Bray Wyatt\'s lantern during the feud, adding personal stakes to the rivalry.
The 2026 Royal Rumble takes place in just a few hours at Riyadh Season Stadium in Saudi Arabia, marking the first time the traditional Royal Rumble event has been held outside North America.
