WWE Royal Rumble 2026: 10 Surprise Entrants We Could See
9. Brie Bella
Nikki Bella was one of the surprise entrants in the 2025 Royal Rumble match, and the smart money is on her sister to follow suit in 2026. As Nikki continues her own resurgence in WWE, having even challenged Stephanie Vaquer for the Women's Championship, there are significant rumours and statements being made that makes the duo reuniting a significant possibility.
During his recent appearance on Chris Van Vliet's podcast, Brie's husband Brian Danielson suggested that she doesn't have much interest in a solo run in WWE, but would definitely consider being reunited with her sister. If Nikki is an entrant in next year's Royal Rumble match, as she is expected to be, a return for Brie in the Rumble feels even more likely.
The Bella Sisters were heavily rumoured to be considered as contenders for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship for WrestleMania 41. When Liv Morgan picked up her unfortunate shoulder injury just ahead of the biggest show of the year, those plans were scrapped, so don't be surprised if the road to WrestleMania 42 starts with a Bella Sisters reunion at the upcoming Royal Rumble.
