Brie Bella’s Status for WWE RAW in Philadelphia After Royal Rumble Return

Brie Bella’s surprise return at the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble sent Riyadh into a frenzy—but now she’s confirming what’s next, and it’s happening this week.

While speaking at the Philadelphia airport on February 1, 2026, Brie gave a brief interview to Adam’s Apple where she opened up about the return—and what fans can expect next. When asked if her return was planned long in advance, Brie gave a straight answer. “No.”

Despite that, she revealed that she’d quietly been preparing behind the scenes for a moment like this.“Yes—I was training for this, because I always knew I wanted it. I’m a big manifester.”

And when pressed about whether this was a full-time comeback, she played coy but left the door wide open, telling everyone to watch RAW this week to find out, “You’re gonna have to watch RAW to find out. I’m always ready.”

WWE had gone to extreme lengths to keep her Royal Rumble appearance a secret. As reported earlier, she was hidden from most of the roster, with no rehearsals or public walkthroughs before her entrance at #29. The crowd erupted when Brie hit the stage, and the moment was made even bigger when she reunited with sister Nikki Bella. Together, the Bella Twins eliminated Bayley and Lyra Valkyria before Lash Legend eliminated them.

The surprise sparked immediate speculation about a full-fledged Bella Twins return—especially after Nikki posted “BELLA TWINS ARE BACK!!!!” and “WE RUN IT, WE RULE IT!!” on Twitter. Now, with Brie Bella confirmed for RAW in Philadelphia this week, fans won’t have to wait long to see what’s next.
