The stars of WWE stepped into the spotlight on Saturday with the Royal Rumble premium live event which emanated from Tropicana Field. WWE wasted no time getting right into the action as the women’s Royal Rumble match kicked off the show.
Heading into the women’s Royal Rumble match it seemed that Bayley was the favorite to win, and not only did she win, but she also set a new record when she lasted 1 hour, 3 minutes and 3 seconds.
Natalya entered the match at number 1 and the first surprise of the night took place when Naomi made her return to the match when she entered at number 2. The second surprise entrant came in at number 5 when TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace entered the match.
Asuka and Kairi Sane entered at 7 and 10 respectively and for a while they worked together with Bayley as the members of Damage CTRL dominated the match for a while. However, both Asuka and Kairi Sane were eliminated one after another as Bayley asked what they’re going to do about the plan. Bianca Belair then eliminated Jordynne Grace when she hit her with the KOD on the apron.
Nia Jax entered the match at number 19 and all of the competitors in the ring tried to team up and gang up on her, but it backfired as Jax dominated. Becky Lynch entered at number 21 and immediately went after Nia Jax.
Valhalla tried to enter the match at number 24, but R-Truth entered instead and looked confused as he got in the ring. Nia Jax immediately threw him out and Adam Pearce explained that Truth tried to enter the women’s Royal Rumble. Valhalla entered the match but was eliminated right away because she was distracted.
Another surprise entrant joined the match when NXT star Roxanne Perez entered at number 27. Jade Cargill made her WWE in-ring debut at number 28 and Nia Jax stared her down as she made her way to the ring. Cargill and Jax stood face to face and their stare down got a huge reaction from the crownd. Jade made short work of Nia Jax as she picked her up then threw her over the top rope. Becky Lynch looked on with a shocked look on her face.
NXT star Tiffany Stratton entered the match at number 29. Stratton took out multiple wrestlers with a swanton then faced off against her former rival Becky Lynch. Liv Morgan made her return at number 30.
Jade Cargill picked up Naomi then swung her legs into Becky Lynch on the outside. Lynch was eliminated when she fell to the floor then Cargill threw Naomi over the top. Bianca Belair and Tiffany Stratton were battling as Bayley eliminated them both.
It came down to Bayley, Cargill and Liv Morgan. Bayley and Jade Cargill were on the outside of the apron and they pulled Cargill over. All three women battled on the outside when Liv Morgan eliminated Cargill followed by Bayley immediately eliminating Morgan to win the match.
