Anticipation for the Royal Rumble pay-per-view has been building for some time now, and WWE confirmed for some big names for the women’s Royal Rumble match a few weeks ago. Hall of Famers such as The Bella Twins, Lita and Michelle McCool were all confirmed for the match, but the match also featured more than a few surprises.
Sasha Banks entered the women’s Royal Rumble match in the number one spot and former WWE Women’s Champion Melina entered at number two. Melina didn’t last long as Sasha Banks eliminated her before the third entrant could even enter.
Former Funkadactyl Cameron entered the match at number 13. Sonya Deville was sitting at the commentary table, and the commentators mentioned that Cameron used to be partners with Naomi. Sonya Deville then got upset as she left the commentary table and entered the match just so she could eliminate Cameron to potentially hurt Naomi. Immediately after Naomi entered the match and brawled with Sonya then eliminated her.
WWE Hall of Famer Ivory entered the match at number 28 and she entered the match with her Right To Censor gimmick. She cut a promo scolding the current crop of WWE talents calling them “lost little girls.” Rhea Ripley tossed Ivory out almost immediately as Ivory yelled at her on the mic.
Former WWE Divas Champion Alicia Fox entered the match at number 21. She later called for a Team Bella reunion, but she was eliminated by The Bella Twins. Former Riott Squad member Sarah Logan entered at number 25, but she was quickly eliminated by The Bella Twins who eliminated Liv Morgan right after.
Molly Holly returned using her Mighty Molly gimmick at number 27, but as she was about to enter the ring she was attacked by Nikki A.S.H. who drove her into the steel ring steps then rolled her into the ring. Nikki ripped off Mighty Molly’s cape then threw her over the top rope.
Former Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey entered the match at number 28. The final four came down to Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair, Shayna Baszler and Bianca Belair. Rousey eliminated Flair to win the match.
