PWInsider has more notes on the internal reaction to last night’s WWE Royal Rumble 2026. It’s said that individuals in WWE were raving about the performances of Sol Ruca and Oba Femi in their respective Rumble matches yesterday.

It’s also said that the recently signed Raw Superstar Je’Von Evans received a great deal of praise. Additionally, the feeling last night was that the show was viewed as the start of establishing new names for the future of WWE.

During the men’s Rumble match, PWInsider reports there was a graphic error after Gunther entered at No. 30. The screens at the stadium in Riyadh showed a listing of No. 31 entering next. It’s said that this error was a byproduct of the program being used for the graphics.

Lastly, PWInsider reports that the first group of WWE wrestlers and staffers is scheduled to return to the U.S. later this afternoon to Philadelphia for WWE Raw. Tomorrow’s Raw is being held at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
