Will WWE make history in 2017 by giving their women the opportunity to perform in their own version of the Royal Rumble?

January is Royal Rumble season, and it’s usually one of the most exciting times of the year. Fans everywhere begin speculating on what may happen in the most unpredictable match in WWE. Every year there are countless reports, articles and discussions over who will win or appear in the Royal Rumble match. This always brings WWE some extra fan interest, and it helps push the company forward towards WrestleMania.
