News regarding surprise appearances at the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble PLE (potential spoilers)
It was reported by Fightful Select that WWE’s plan was to fly talent out to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on a charter shortly after RAW, with those wrestlers staying all week to prepare for SmackDown and the 2026 Royal Rumble. Additional talent, including surprise appearances, will arrive later in the week on separate travel.
Fightful stated the following…
“In previous years, WWE would have to worry about people seeing the talent travel in at various airports, especially with autograph hounds stalking out talent hotels and airports. Now, many there feel as if with their plane chartered, and more privacy provided at their air strip and hotels, it will be easier to keep that quiet.”
Regarding potential surprise Royal Rumble entries, PWInsider.com noted that there has been talk of Brock Lesnar and Tiffany Stratton returning for the event. LA Knight is also expected to make an appearance, as a “YEAH” sign was spotted during construction of the Rumble venue in Riyadh.
