Finn Balor was denied entry into the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble
Thanks for the submission!
On the latest edition of Monday Night RAW, CM Punk told Finn Balor to win the 2026 Royal Rumble to earn another shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. Later in the show, The Prince demanded the red brand’s GM, Adam Pearce, for an entry into the Rumble.
However, Pearce refused to give in to Balor’s demands, revealing that this year’s Rumble was full and there was no spot left for The Judgment Day star.
Similar to Finn Balor, Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay are reportedly not planned for the Royal Rumble either
Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay were better known as Peyton Royce and Billie Kay during their time in World Wrestling Entertainment. After a hiatus from in-ring competition, the stars returned to the ring in TNA Wrestling in June 2025. They became the Knockouts World Tag Team Champions in September before dropping the titles to The Elegance Brand (Heather By Elegance and M By Elegance) on the January 15, 2026 edition of TNA Thursday Night iMPACT.
After their massive loss, several reports suggested that Lee and McKay were leaving TNA, as their contracts had expired, and several companies were interested in signing them. Now, according to the latest report by Fightful, although several companies, including the Stamford-based promotion, are interested in signing the IInspiration (Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay), they are not planned for this year’s WWE Royal Rumble.
It remains to be seen if the Triple H-led creative team has planned anything for Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay for the WWE Royal Rumble this weekend.
