Brie Bella was worried fans will not know her in Saudi Arabia.
The WWE Hall of Famer's return at Royal Rumble this year was possibly the biggest surprise of the show. She had not been among the names rumored for the PPV. Fans were genuinely shocked when her music hit and she received one of the biggest pops of the night.

During the most recent episode of the Bellas podcast, the former Divas Champion went into detail of the whole experience. Brie Bella revealed that her first reaction upon getting the call was wondering whether fans in the Middle Easte would even react to her surprise return, as she had never wrestled in the country before:
I feel like it's just it was meant to be this way and it's crazy because doing it in Saudi Arabia, the first thing I thought when I got the call, I was like, 'I don't think they know who I am. Could I just wait to debut in Philadelphia?' and they're like, 'The Saudi people know who you are,” and I'm like, “Do they?'
Brie Bella later noted that she did not get a lot of time to prepare for the match. While she did not reveal exactly when she got the call, the Total Divas star mentioned that she jumped right into training as soon as she found out, and did everything from weight lifting to boxing in preparation.
Bella Twins made an appearance on this week's Raw from Philadelphia and made their intention of going after the Women's Tag titles clear. Brie also teased her sister Nikki about her relationship with Cooper DeJean during her promo, and the NFL star has since addressed this interaction. You can check out more about it here.
