WWE Royal Rumble 2018: Predicting All 30 Entrants Of The Women’s Royal Rumble Match

3. James Ellsworth
Yep. I am predicting that a MAN will be in the WOMEN’s Royal Rumble Match. Why? Well, because it’s WWE, so they always have to throw in a wrinkle to their historic women’s moments.
Don’t worry, though, because I think this will be well received. After being released, I think fans may actually pop for an Ellsworth surprise appearance, and no I don’t think he will win like he won the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
James Ellsworth will show up and get hit with every finisher from every woman in the ring and be tossed out back to the indie scene. It should be a fun spot that would add some comic relief to an otherwise serious event.
2. Stephanie McMahon
It wouldn’t be history without the involvement of a McMahon, or at least that’s what they think. Whether they are justified are not, the egos of the McMahon’s are larger than life. Shane is getting involved in every major angle on SmackDown Live and is being booked as a strong competitor against top stars and legends.
Then, there’s obviously Vince McMahon who has his ego trips by putting world championships on himself among other things, and that leaves us with Steph. Her character seems to be a heel unless it comes to the women’s division as a whole. Then, she all of a sudden becomes the leader of their revolution.
This happened when she had to be the one to announce the Women’s Royal Rumble Match, and it will happen when she participates in it, too. I just hope she isn’t booked to look as strong as Shane has been lately.
1. Ronda Rousey
Ronda Rousey is being discussed as a favorite to win the Women’s Royal Rumble Match despite not yet signing a contract with WWE. That said, both Ronda and WWE have been in talks for quite some time, and it seems like a deal may finally be coming to fruition as she was just recently spotted at dinner with Triple H.
Rousey would have the ability to bring both mainstream coverage/attention and legitimacy to women’s wrestling. Her MMA background makes her an immediate threat, and her mainstream popularity makes her a perfect fit for WWE.

The former UFC star may finally make her highly anticipated WWE debut at the Royal Rumble, and Rousey may even go on to win the whole match.
