Spoiler On NXT Champion Planned For WWE Royal Rumble 2026

WWE's plans for the Royal Rumble are already in full swing due to the show taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and it has been revealed that a champion in NXT will be competing in one of the Royal Rumble matches.

Obviously, it won't be the NXT Champion due to the belt currently being vacant, but PWInsider has reported that all signs point to NXT Women's Champion Jacy Jayne competing in the women's Royal Rumble. Jayne was originally scheduled for NXT's house shows this weekend in the United States, but she was pulled from those events and Jayne is heading to Saudi Arabia.

PWInsider also noted that another NXT talent in Kelani Jordan is expected to compete in the women's Royal Rumble, as are Lola Vice and Sol Ruca.

An absent main roster talent expected to make her return in the women's Royal Rumble is Tiffany Stratton.
