The biggest takeaway from the latest Royal Rumble 2026 chatter isn’t about the venue, the lighting, or how massive the show will look on screen. It’s about one name quietly gaining momentum behind the scenes: Sol Ruca.
PWInsider reports there has been meaningful internal discussion about Sol Ruca potentially being included in the Women’s Royal Rumble match. Not fan speculation. Not social media fantasy booking. Actual backstage conversation.
The timing of the report also lines up with how WWE is framing Royal Rumble 2026 as a show built around surprises and moments. Triple H made that point directly during his ESPN appearance when talking about what defines the match.
“The Royal Rumble is one of those events that’s amazing to see, because every couple of minutes there is a new entrant that enters into the fray, right? So as this match goes on over the course of the hour that it takes or so, you’re getting constantly surprised by who is next.”
“There’s a lot of surprises in store.”
If WWE is serious about creating moments that feel fresh instead of repetitive, the Rumble is the perfect platform for someone like Sol Ruca. It’s the exact match that allows new faces to make an immediate impact without needing weeks of TV build.
As of this writing, nothing is confirmed yet, and WWE traditionally keeps final Rumble plans extremely tight. But reports like this don’t usually surface unless real discussions are happening internally.
Do you think Sol Ruca should get a surprise Rumble spot this year, or would you rather see WWE slow-build her rise before pulling that trigger? Share your take and join the discussion.
