One of those slots could be taken up by none other than Nikki Bella. A clip from the Riyadh venue has popped up on the internet, where Bella’s music can be heard during a pre-production session. Check out the clip below:

Bella hasn’t been on WWE TV in weeks, and the company seems to be keeping her appearance under wraps to generate a pop from the live crowd.

Who all are expected to appear at WWE Royal Rumble 2026?

Not just Nikki Bella, but there are a handful of other names who are expected to surprise participants in the Royal Rumble matches this weekend.

The biggest of them is Chris Jericho, who has been rumored to be returning to his former stomping grounds for weeks now. His AEW contract has reportedly expired, thus paving the way for his highly-anticipated WWE comeback.

Apart from that, Powerhouse Hobbs, whose AEW departure is confirmed, is heavily rumored to directly join the global juggernaut’s main roster. An impressive showing in the Royal Rumble match, given the promotion finds a spot for him in the bout, could do wonders and immediately set him on the path to success.
