Some fans tried to take a WWE Superstar’s attire at the 2026 Royal Rumble in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The 2026 WWE Royal Rumble event took place at the Riyadh Season Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this past Saturday. The fans in Saudi Arabia had a good time at the event, witnessing multiple WWE Superstars in action. However, some of them almost took a unique souvenir home with them, as a few fans tried to take Ilja Dragunov‘s coat.
The footage, which has gone viral on X/Twitter, shows Dragunov dropping his coat at the entrance ramp, and some fans near the barricade snatching it. WWE cameraman Stu noticed it and pointed directly at the fans, asking them to drop it.
The fans obliged and placed the coat back on the ramp, and a WWE crew member rushed to the spot to retrieve it.
Despite not eliminating anyone, Ilja Dragunov spent 11 minutes in the men’s Royal Rumble match before getting thrown over the top rope by Brock Lesnar.
Drew McIntyre sends a threat to Roman Reigns after WWE Royal Rumble win
Roman Reigns entered the 2026 WWE men’s Royal Rumble match as the 26th entrant. He eliminated The Miz, Logan Paul, Jey Uso, and Jacob Fatu before finally throwing Gunther over the top rope to score the victory. It marked the second time Reigns has won the Rumble in his career, and he can challenge for either the Undisputed WWE Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 42.
Following the event, Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre appeared on the post-show and sent a message to Roman Reigns.
“I’m like Dr. Sam Beckett in Quantum Leap, if anyone remembers that,” McIntyre said. “Putting right what once went wrong. The times I’ve been screwed, Cody Rhodes, I made it right. Roman Reigns? There’s a big enemy of Drew McIntyre.
“His Bloodline made my life a living hell for so long, so if he wants to pick Drew McIntyre…on his own, I would destroy Roman Reigns. Go for it, Roman, pick me. Let’s main event WrestleMania, and I will drop your ass,” the WWE Champion said.
