Brock Lesnar has confirmed that he will compete in the men’s Royal Rumble match this Saturday in Saudi Arabia.
Lesnar made the announcement during a brief appearance via FaceTime on Wednesday’s edition of The Pat McAfee Show.
“I’m headed to the Royal Rumble, boys. I’m going to win it,” Lesnar said. “I’m going. Yes, sir. I’m in shape, we’re going to do this.”
The confirmation does not come as a complete surprise, as Lesnar’s likeness has been included on promotional posters for the event.
This will mark Lesnar’s first participation in the Royal Rumble match since 2023. He is a two-time winner of the match, having been victorious in 2003 and 2022.
Lesnar last competed at the Survivor Series event in November, where he teamed with The Vision and Drew McIntyre to win the men’s WarGames match against CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, The Usos, and Roman Reigns.
Prior to that, he defeated John Cena on September 20, 2025, at WrestlePalooza, which was the first premium live event to broadcast on ESPN.
