Brie Bella Returns To WWE During 2026 Royal Rumble

The 2026 Royal Rumble took place at Riyadh Season Stadium in the King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. That included a big return of a WWE Hall of Famer.

Nikki Bella made her way out in the next spot to make her fourth Royal Rumble match. However, the WWE Hall of Famer didn’t come alone.

Brie Bella made her way out in the twenty-ninth spot. This was a big surprise as Brie Mode erupted in Saudi Arabia.

Fans in Saudi Arabia chanted “Yes” in very loud fashion. This was, of course, a nod to her husband, Bryan Danielson. She got right back to business with Yes Kicks just like she never left.

Michael Cole didn’t come out and say Bryan Danielson’s name on the show, but he did say, “you know who he’s paying homage to.” They may be called “It Kicks” in WWE now, but everyone knows what is up.

This was a big surprise for the Royal Rumble. It also goes to show that you never know who to expect in the picture.
