WWE Hall of Famer Heads to Saudi Arabia for Royal Rumble
The Royal Rumble is set to take place today in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, marking the beginning of the journey to WrestleMania 42. This annual event, known for its excitement and surprises, is being held at the King Abdullah Financial District. Anticipation builds as WWE fans look forward to unexpected appearances and returns as the show unfolds.
WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella’s Arrival in Saudi Arabia
Reports confirm that WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella is in Riyadh for the Royal Rumble. According to PWInsider, Bella last competed in a WWE ring during the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble match, where she made her mark by eliminating three competitors.
Travel Arrangements for Surprise Entrants
To keep surprises under wraps, WWE has implemented meticulous travel logistics. Most active talent traveled to Riyadh earlier in the week, allowing time to acclimate to the local time zone. However, unannounced talents and possible surprise entrants, including Bella, were flown in separately, minimizing the chances of leaks or fan sightings.
Betting Odds and Speculations
As the event approaches, updated betting odds place Brie Bella at 250/1 to win the Royal Rumble. Her sister, Nikki Bella, has slightly better odds at 100/1. The inclusion of Brie increases the potential for a “Twin Magic” moment, even if it lasts just for one evening. The Bella Twins, renowned for their contributions to women’s wrestling, were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2020.
Women’s Royal Rumble Entrants
The Women’s Royal Rumble match still has several spots available, allowing for potential surprises. Confirmed entrants so far include:
- Iyo Sky
- Rhea Ripley
- Roxanne Perez
- Liv Morgan
- Raquel Rodriguez
- Bayley
- Lyra Valkyria
- Asuka
- Chelsea Green
- Charlotte Flair
- Alexa Bliss
- Lash Legend
- Nia Jax
- Jordynne Grace
- Giulia
- Maxxine Dupri
- Becky Lynch
With 13 spots still open, the return of a veteran like Brie Bella would fit seamlessly into this year’s Royal Rumble format.
