It seems WWE has spoiled a return ahead of the upcoming Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia.

The Royal Rumble will take place on January 31st, emanating for the first time outside of North America as the event heads to Saudi Arabia.

2025’s edition of WWE’s universally popular show saw Jey Uso win big in the men’s Rumble match while Charlotte Flair marked her return to the ring by winning the 30-woman bout. Neither Flair nor Uso are the favourite in 2026 to go back-to-back, but perhaps more than worrying about the winner, WWE fans love to see which surprise names will make their presence felt.

But one surprise might have been let out of the bag early.

LA Knight Returning To WWE At The Royal Rumble?

LA Knight was put on the shelf after a sickening attack at the hands of The Vision. Bronson Reed and Logan Paul slammed Knight into a car’s roof, writing him off TV for several weeks.

Now, a post on social media has done the rounds showing WWE’s setup in Saudi Arabia for the Rumble. One thing spotted was a board sporting Knight’s signature “Yeah” catchphrase, indicating that he will be in the Middle East for the event.

While it remains to be seen what role Knight will have on the show, one thing now known is that Roman Reigns will be a part of the men’s Royal Rumble as he looks to continue his quest to reclaim the WWE Championship.
