Follow on Google News After several earlier rumors suggested a possible postponement of the WWE Royal Rumble, due to the slow pace of stage construction at The Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, images of the venue have now leaked today, January 28, showing it completely ready to host the event.
As seen below, all LED panels and giant screens have already been installed, along with the traditional structure suspended above the ring.
There are also rumors that this event will feature production on the same level as WrestleMania, which highlights WWE’s effort to make the beginning of its Road to WrestleMania 2026 even more special.
