WWE Royal Rumble 2018: 5 Possible Women’s Rumble Swerves
Source: WWE.com
#4 – Nia Jax Will Have the Most Eliminations but Won’t Win
On paper, Nia Jax has to be considered one of the favorites to win the first ever Women’s Royal Rumble match. Just look at her. She’s big, she’s powerful, and she’s agile for her size which is a perfect combination for this type of match.
I think Nia will get the most eliminations by a landslide. It will be the type of record that will stand for years to come, similar to the record Kane held from 2001 until Roman Reigns broke it in 2014. This match can be used to really put over how different Nia is than any of the other women competitors.
Nia Jax will look like an unstoppable monster, eliminating every woman in her path until my #1 swerve hits the ring to eliminate her.

#3 – Ember Moon Will Debut While Still NXT Champion
I want to hear the crowd react to Ember Moon’s cool entrance. I want to hear the pop after she hits an Eclipse. I want to see one of the top women from the main roster eliminate her. Then, I want to see her back in NXT.
My reasoning for this swerve is pretty simple – use this platform to get more eyes on the current NXT Women’s Champion.
It’s really as simple as that. I think that Ember Moon is best used right now to help the NXT brand and her time as a regular part of the main roster will absolutely come one day. In my opinion, Ember is one of the most well-rounded women that the WWE currently has on any brand. I just don’t want her to get lost in the shuffle and there is plenty more for her left to accomplish in NXT.
I think WWE owes it to their “casual” audience to become more familiar with Moon before she makes her way to either Raw or SmackDown. Plus, the Eclipse is an incredible move that the portion of the crowd unfamiliar with NXT has been deprived of seeing for far too long.
This match is the perfect opportunity to give the WWE fans a preview of Ember Moon.
