Bron Breakker, one of the favorites to win the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble match, was eliminated seconds into the contest following an assault by a masked attacker.
Breakker, who drew the number two entry, was making his way down the ramp to face number one entrant Oba Femi, when a hooded figure appeared from nowhere to attack him.

The assailant delivered a stomp to Breakker on the ramp before throwing the dazed superstar into the ring.
Waiting inside was Oba Femi, who immediately capitalized on the situation. The former NXT Champion seized Breakker and tossed him over the top rope, eliminating him from the match.
The masked attacker immediately fled through the crowd and was not immediately identified.
