15. Michelle McCool

Like Molly Holly, Michelle McCool was one of the standouts of the Women’s Royal Rumble, and her performance caused even more fans to hope for a possible dream match between her and Charlotte Flair one day.

While Flair has her own battle with former best friend Becky Lynch in a “Last Woman Standing” match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship that must main event Evolution, McCool will look to carve out her own title opportunity in the battle royal.

I guess it’s possible for McCool to win and face Charlotte in a title match if “The Queen” is victorious, but I don’t even like Charlotte’s chances against Becky. McCool has the best chance of winning of any of the legends in this match, and she is a four-time champ in WWE with an exceptional resume. I’d expect her to be one of the standouts on Sunday.

14. Lana

Earlier this year, Lana shined in the Women’s Money in Bank Ladder Match, surprising many fans in the process. Just one year ago, Lana failed to impress in the ring, but she clearly put in the work to become an impressive athlete who is capable of performing at a high level. Lana and Rusev had a mixed tag feud with Andrade “Cien” Almas and Zelina Vega, and Lana did not look out of place when sharing the ring with world class competitors like Almas.

At Evolution, Lana will hope to play the role of the “spoiler” in the battle royal. Her character work when wrestling is always a huge strength, as Lana is consistently one of the most entertaining people to watch in WWE. She’s a candidate to get eliminated by a legend like Blayze or McCool, but hopefully she makes even the legends take notice of how far she’s come in 2018.
