Updated List Of WWE Royal Rumble Participants Following WWE SmackDown

Friday's "WWE SmackDown" emanating from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, marked the go-home show to the Royal Rumble and the latest updated line-up for the eponymous men's and women's matches. 

On the men's side, Cody Rhodes signaled his intent to win the Rumble for the third time in four years, becoming the first to declare for the match on "WWE SmackDown." He was soon joined by 2025 winner Jey Uso, Gunther, 2006 winner Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee, and Penta on the subsequent "WWE Raw." Mysterio picked up a knock on Monday, however, and his current Rumble status is unclear.

The entirety of The Vision: Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Bronson Reed, and Austin Theory were then added to the Rumble on Monday's "Raw" alongside Je'Von Evans and Oba Femi.

Two-time Rumble winners Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton declared themselves into the match in media appearances throughout the week.
