30-Woman Royal Rumble Match
The second-annual Women’s Royal Rumble Match will take place in Phoenix, and it’s already building a field of competitors that will push it to live up to the legacy started last year. While we can expect some NXT stars and legends to appear, they’re unlikely to walk out with a win.
Contrary to the Men’s Royal Rumble, the two favorites for this match aren’t even officially entrants yet. Much of the speculation heading into the Royal Rumble is on whether Becky Lynch or Charlotte Flair will win the match and challenge Ronda Rousey.
While Charlotte Flair isn’t officially an entrant yet, her failure to earn a shot at Asuka at the event all but guarantees she will be competing in the Royal Rumble. The following superstars have been confirmed as entrants in the Royal Rumble:
- Carmella
- Ember Moon
- Natalya
- Bayley
- Ruby Riott
- Liv Morgan
- Sarah Logan
- Mandy Rose
- Sonya Deville
- Alicia Fox
- Zelina Vega
- Naomi
- Mickie James
- Billie Kay
- Peyton Royce
On top of those, there’s also the looming question of Becky Lynch. While she’s competing against Asuka for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, we’ve seen superstars lose matches earlier in the night only to compete in the Royal Rumble match itself.
Should she come up short against Asuka, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Becky Lynch enter the Rumble. There’s even some talk that Lynch could attack Carmella, who earned the number thirty entry spot by winning Mixed Match Challenge, so Becky can take her place in the Rumble.
Regardless of what path is taken, right now Becky Lynch still looks like the favorite to win the Women’s Royal Rumble. Don’t underestimate “The Man,” because if anyone can pull it off it’s her.
Prediction: Becky Lynch
