Former WWE Women’s Champion Confirms Her Status For The First Women’s Royal Rumble Match

Sunday night the Royal Rumble pay-per-view will air on the WWE Network, and it will feature the historic first ever women’s Royal Rumble match.

Raw General Manager Kurt Angle confirmed weeks ago that the match will feature 30 participants, which means there are quite a few open spots at the moment.

With all of the open spots in the match, fans are wondering who we might be seeing in regards to surprise entrants, but at least one former WWE Women’s Champion has removed her name from the list.

Nora Greenwald, better known to wrestling fans as Molly Holly, recently spoke to WrestlingInc, and she noted that she talked to WWE and the company doesn’t have plans for her to be in the match.

“My friends’ kids were texting me and they’re like, ‘I saw on the internet that you’re gonna be in the Royal Rumble.’ I was like, ‘I am?! Oh my gosh! Where does it say this?'” Holly said. “So I start looking like, is this like some thing that they just forgot to tell me? So then, I actually called, because I was like, ‘Am I gonna be?’ So then I called the WWE, and I was like, ‘Is this like a thing?’ And they were like, ‘Oh, fans are predicting who’s gonna be in the Rumble.’ I was like, ‘oh, I’m sorry. I’m like embarrassed.’ I’m just a mark who believes everything that’s on the Internet. But, for a second, I was like ‘Ah crap! I don’t have enough time. I need months to prepare!’ But then it’s not even true, so it was nice enough that the fans cared enough to start a rumor. So, that’s cool.”
