With the 2026 Royal Rumble now in the books, WWE fans in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia didn't waste any time in letting Triple H know they weren't exactly thrilled with how things played out at the Rumble last night.

Across the Royal Rumble card, Liv Morgan won the women's Rumble match in the opener, AJ Styles was sent into retirement after passing out in a sleeper from Gunther, Drew McIntyre retained the WWE Championship against Sami Zayn, and Roman Reigns won out in the men's Rumble. In terms of the plentiful surprises Triple H had promised fans ahead of the PLE, the most notable were the WWE debut of Royce Keys - formerly Powerhouse Hobbs in AEW - and the return of Brie Bella. Other than that, there were appearances from AAA's Mr. Iguana and La Parka, NXT's Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Jacy Jayne, and Kelani Jordan was entrants in the women's Rumble, and Tiffany Stratton made her return from injury.

Despite plentiful speculation, there was no Chris Jericho in Riyadh, and there were no NXT names in the men's Rumble. And on top of that, the Saudi crowd saw local hero Sami Zayn come up short, in addition to witnessing the apparent in-ring retirement of AJ Styles.

With WWE regularly hosting live post-shows following such PLEs, the Rumble post-show saw WWE fans serenade Triple H with, amongst other things, chants of "You F**ked Up!", "We Want Vince!", and "Y2J!". This comes barely a month after the Game received similar chants following John Cena's retirement match at Saturday Night's Main Event in December.
