Report: Potential Royal Rumble Surprise Heading To Saudi Arabia

The Royal Rumble 2026 PLE is set to take place later today in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with fans likely in store for several big surprises. Reports have suggested that a potential debuting name could be set to make their presence known across Royal Rumble weekend, with a notable name planned to be in Saudi Arabia.

Potential spoilers for the Royal Rumble 2026 PLE follow. 

Fightful Select have reported that new WWE signing Powerhouse Hobbs, set to be known in WWE as Royce Keys, is scheduled to be in Saudi Arabia this weekend. It should be noted that Hobbs did not travel with WWE’s roster members over the last week, but there is now confirmation that he has indeed made the trip separately. The report does state that there is no confirmation on a Royal Rumble entry. 

In the lead up to the Royal Rumble, it was noted that WWE were confident that they could keep surprises under wraps despite the international travel, though earlier this week there was an instance in which a potential surprise was revealed, showing up in the background of a social media photo of another WWE wrestler.
