Another WWE Royal Rumble 2026 update has just dropped.
The 2026 Royal Rumble is just around the corner and will mark the first time WWE’s traditional Rumble event takes place in Saudi Arabia. The company is pulling out all the stops to ensure the event is a major success.
That said, some fans have expressed concern that the Royal Rumble could be delayed by several weeks due to the pace of construction work at the venue. The rumor gained traction after an X user shared images from the construction site.
However, PWInsider.com (via PWInsiderElite) reports that there is no truth to the speculation, as construction at the venue is nearing completion. The outlet also confirmed that the Royal Rumble will take place as originally announced on January 31.
“For those who have asked about an online rumor that the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble will be delayed several weeks due to construction on the new outdoor arena in Riyadh being delayed, PWInsiderElite.com is told there is nothing to that story. We are told by multiple sources that the venue’s construction is very close to complete. The venue is located in the KAFD, King Abdullah Financial District, of the city.”
