WWE Royal Rumble 2026 | Key Points

WWE Royal Rumble 2026 Darkhorses And Surprises

WWE Royal Rumble 2026 is as wide open as it has ever been, following up on the dynamic from the 2025 Royal Rumble that was won, in shocking fashion, by Jey Uso. Now back in the tag team division as a nine-time world tag team champion, the popular WWE star is not even listed as a Top 10 favorite. Winning back-to-back Royal Rumbles is rare, though Cody Rhodes did just that in 2023 and 2024. The last time this was done before Rhodes, who also isn’t in the Top 10, was Stone Cold Steve Austin from 1998-1999.

Roman Reigns is currently listed as a favorite alongside Gunther, but with both the Road to WrestleMania and the Royal Rumble itself unclear at this point, it feels like a litany of top stars—and even surprise entrants—could leave Saudi Arabia with a win.

Chris Jericho’s contract reportedly expired at the end of last year, and WWE has wasted no time teasing his imminent return. During a Raw preview posted to WWE’s social media for its Stranger Things Raw crossover, Adam Pearce dropped a popular Jericho Easter egg by saying WWE planned to “break down the walls.” The remark led to intense speculation that Jericho was going to show up, but WWE ultimately did not deliver on its tease.

Good things come to those who wait.

Potential surprise entrants in the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble include:

  • Chris Jericho
  • Will Hobbs
  • Bianca Belair
  • Blake Monroe
  • Chad Gable
  • Paige
  • Oba Femi

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
