WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella has opened up on the reaction from the crowd in Riyadh for her return at the Royal Rumble.

Brie Bella made her first appearance on WWE television in four years at the 2026 Royal Rumble event, entering the Women’s Royal Rumble match at number 29.

Brie’s return got one of the loudest reactions from the crowd in Riyadh, and Brie has now opened up on the reaction to her return.

Speaking on Impaulsive, Brie admitted she was nervous that the Saudi crowd wouldn’t know who she was.

She said:

“I was so stressed out, I had myself convinced they didn’t know who I was. Actually, when I did get the call to be in the Rumble I was like ‘does Saudi know who I am? Is that a good idea?’

“Ask Nikki, up until my music hit, I was just like, let them at least give me a little something, I just hope they know me, I wasn’t sure. So I was so sure when it went off, I felt the energy so much, I couldn’t even control myself. So good.”
