- The Royal Rumble is scheduled for January 31 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the event’s first staging outside North America.
- Breakker is booked to face CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship on Raw on January 5 in Brooklyn, a result that could alter Rumble plans.
- He earned the title shot by pinning Punk at Survivor Series: WarGames and has risen quickly since his 2024 main-roster debut, including two Intercontinental reigns.
