WWE fans know who is starting the Men’s Royal Rumble match, thanks to an apparent error on SmackDown.
This week’s episode of WWE SmackDown featured Johnny Gargano vs. Axiom. As Axiom made his way to the ring, the international Netflix broadcast ran a lower-third chyron graphic that said The Vision’s Bron Breakker is the first entrant in the Men’s Royal Rumble match.
It appears that the graphic was posted during SmackDown by accident, but it looks like fans also got a preview of what tomorrow’s on-air graphics look like.

No other entry spots have been confirmed so far. However, SmackDown featured R-Truth and Nick Aldis dealing entry numbers out of a ball tumbler. Damian Priest is official in the Royal Rumble, and he selected his entry number backstage. His number wasn’t revealed, but he didn’t look happy about the pick. Despite that, Priest said it’s OK because this gives him more time to throw people over the top rope.
It will be interesting to see if WWE sticks with this plan after it was unintentionally spoiled on SmackDown. Bron Breakker is already expected to have a big presence at the Royal Rumble, as The Vision has committed to collectively helping Breakker win the 2026 Men’s Rumble match.
