2025 men’s Royal Rumble winner Jey Uso then came out through the crowd to cut a promo and declared himself for this year’s contest. However, the commentators questioned whether Jey had run it by his brother Jimmy Uso before making the decision.
In an in-ring segment, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY declared themselves for the women’s Royal Rumble match. Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez came out to announce that they and their Judgment Day partner, Raquel Rodriguez, will also enter the 30-woman contest.
