WWE Royal Rumble 2026 Theme Song Officially Revealed

Linkin Park is all set to headline Royal Rumble 2026 as far as music goes.

During the January 12 taping of WWE Raw in Düsseldorf, Germany, the rock band’s second single, Heavy is the Crown, from their eighth studio album, From Zero, was revealed as the official theme song of the PLE.

It is sung by vocalist Emily Armstrong, who took over as the group’s lead singer after its lengthy hiatus following the passing of Chester Bennington in 2017.

Released in September 2024, the track was also the official anthem for the 2024 League of Legends World Championship.

WWE Royal Rumble continues to maintain its reputation as one of the most awaited premium live events of the year since making its debut in 1988.

The annual event features two Royal Rumble matches, one each for the men’s and women’s divisions. The winner of the match wins an automatic entry into WrestleMania and also the option to choose which major championship they want to contest for.

Jey Uso won the 2025 Royal Rumble event and went on to successfully challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41.

WWE Royal Rumble Kickoff Time Unveiled

WWE Royal Rumble moves outside North America in 2026 for the first time in its rich past to be held in Saudi Arabia.

According to WrestleVotes via Fightful Select, the PLE will commence at 2 PM ET. For the North American wrestling fans, it would mean adjusting their viewing plans. Reportedly, the card will have four matches, with two Royal Rumble matches allotted for male and female talents.

Despite fewer matches, the event is expected to deliver on all fronts as noted previously by other live events held in The Kingdom.

The last time WWE visited this part of the world was in July for Night of Champions.
