Bron Breakker could be the 2026 Royal Rumble winner.
Since The Vision betrayed Seth Rollins on the October 13 edition of Monday Night RAW, fans have been waiting for Bron Breakker to ascend into the main event scene. The 28-year-old has long been touted for future success, but, backed on-screen by Paul Heyman, it seems as if he’s on the cusp of the next level, and it now appears as if he could be in line for a major win in 2026.
In an update from WrestleVotes Radio via Fightful Select, Breakker is the currently favourite for next year’s Royal Rumble.
“Bron Breakker is your current ‘white board favorite’ — as the white board became a key part of the Unreal episodes — to win the Royal Rumble, regardless of the announced match for the January 5th Monday Night RAW for the World Title in Brooklyn versus CM Punk. An idea has been strongly considered within creative circles that would see Breakker win the Royal Rumble on January 31st from Saudi Arabia.”
-WrestleVotes Radio
As mentioned by WrestleVotes, Breakker is set for a World Heavyweight Championship match against CM Punk on the January 5 edition of RAW. With Bron believed to be a top contender for the Royal Rumble, viewers will be intrigued to see how WWE manage the road to WrestleMania and what they have in store for the red brand’s top championship at the ‘Show Of Shows’.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on the 2026 Royal Rumble as soon as we hear more.
