WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella made an unexpected return to the ring during the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble, entering the match at No. 29. Her appearance came after PWInsider Elite reported earlier in the day that Bella had quietly been flown into Saudi Arabia ahead of the event.
The familiar “Brie Mode!” theme hit inside the stadium, signaling her arrival just minutes after her twin sister Nikki Bella entered at No. 25. Brie wasted no time getting involved, unloading with her signature kicks on Raquel Rodriguez. On commentary, Michael Cole noted that the moves are now referred to as the “It Kicks,” a nod to the fact that the “Yes!” chant was popularized in WWE by Brie’s husband, Bryan Danielson (formerly Daniel Bryan).
Moments later, Brie helped Nikki back to her feet, and the sisters shared a brief reunion in the middle of the ring. The Bella Twins then went on a short but effective run, teaming up to eliminate both Lyra Valkyria and Bayley while leading the crowd in another round of “Yes!” chants.
The nostalgia-fueled comeback came to an end when Lash Legend overpowered both sisters, eliminating Brie and Nikki together and drawing audible disappointment from the Riyadh crowd. Despite the brief run, Brie Bella’s return stood out as one of the night’s most memorable Royal Rumble moments.
