Nikki Bella might have hinted at a surprise entrant at the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble.
The Royal Rumble is hours away from emanating live in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. WWE has confirmed four matches at the time of this writing. The two marquee matches of the night will see stars from the men’s and women’s divisions compete for the chance to headline WrestleMania.
Speaking of the Women’s Royal Rumble match, it appears Nikki Bella may have teased the return of a popular star in the multi-woman over-the-top-rope elimination bout. The WWE Hall of Famer recently appeared at the Women’s Health and Fitness Panel in Saudi Arabia.
Nikki performed the Bella Booty Shake and the Brie Mode finger point during her entrance, which led fans online to speculate that she might be teasing the return of her twin sister, Brie Bella, as a surprise entrant in the Women’s Royal Rumble.
Of course, this is still speculation, but fans believe that Nikki might have tipped her hat about her sister’s potential return.
Nikki Bella was also seen spending time with WWE Superstars at Sneaker Con Riyadh. Her appearance was seemingly hinted at earlier when Jackie Redmond posted a selfie on her Instagram Stories.
Brie Bella discusses potential WWE return
During an interview with Adrian Hernandez in December, Brie Bella spoke about a possible WWE comeback alongside her sister.
“Oh my gosh,” Brie Bella said. “Well, keep it up, because they hear you loud enough. Then, you know, if you build it, they will come, type of thing. So hopefully that means that I’ll come. We’ll see.”
“Does that mean I’ll actually win?” Nikki Bella jokingly said in response.
“You need me, girl,” Brie Bella quipped back. “You need me!”
With only 17 women officially announced as participants in the Royal Rumble match, fans could see a Bella Twins reunion tonight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. WrestleZone’s live coverage of WWE Royal Rumble will begin here at 1 PM EST.
