WWE Royal Rumble 2026 could see the return of two absent stars

The list of names present in Riyadh ahead of the Royal Rumble continues to grow, and some of them have not gone unnoticed. Aleister Black and Zelina Vega have been seen in Saudi Arabia in the days leading up to the event, as confirmed by PWInsiderElite.com.

Both have been absent from the WWE television programming for some time. In Black's case, his last appearance dates back to the Ambulance Match against Damian Priest, after which he disappeared from active storylines. Zelina, on the other hand, has also not had recent on-screen presence, making their trip a particularly noteworthy detail.

For now, WWE has not confirmed whether either of them will be part of the Royal Rumble or if their presence is due to other commitments related to the event. As usual, being in the city does not guarantee on-screen appearance, but it is usually a significant indication.

In addition to Black and Zelina, other talents have also been seen in Riyadh. Among them are Motor City Machine Guns, Nate Frazier, Grayson Waller, and Axiom, further expanding the range of possible participants or individuals involved in the weekend.

With the Royal Rumble just around the corner, each name that appears in Saudi Arabia adds a new layer of speculation. Until the music plays and the ramp opens, everything continues to move in that unpredictable terrain that defines the event.
