Triple H promoted the official theme song for the Royal Rumble on Sunday.

On the January 12 episode of WWE Raw from Germany, WWE revealed that Linkin Park’s “Heavy Is the Crown” will be the official theme song for this year’s event.

Triple H posted to social media on Sunday, writing:

“The Road to #WrestleMania starts in less than a week…and @linkinpark brings the soundtrack. “Heavy Is The Crown” by Linkin Park is an Official Theme Song of #RoyalRumble.”

The song is from Linkin Park’s 2024 album, From Zero, and features new singer Emily Armstrong on vocals. It is the band’s first studio album since the death of singer Chester Bennington in 2017.

The 2026 WWE Royal Rumble is set for Saturday, January 31, 2026, from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Four matches have been confirmed for the show as of Saturday. In addition to the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches, AJ Styles will put his career on the line against Gunther, and Drew McIntyre will defend the WWE Championship against Sami Zayn.
