Last year, the women of WWE made history by competing in the first-ever all women’s Royal Rumble. The match was won by Asuka who was ultimately unsuccessful in her venture against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania.
This year, a new woman will have to win the rumble because Asuka is the current Smackdown Women’s Champion. WWE has officially announced of the first seven names to be entered into the 2019 women’s Royal Rumble Match. The following is from WWE.com:
Thirty female Superstars from Raw and SmackDown LIVE will fight for the opportunity at sports-entertainment immortality when the 2019 Women’s Royal Rumble Match invades the award-winning WWE Network on Sunday, Jan. 27, at 7 ET/4 PT. The winner of the massive melee will go on to challenge for a World Championship at WrestleMania 35.
History was made history last year when Asuka won the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match. The high-stakes free-for-all will start with two competitors, and Superstars enter the ring at equal intervals. This continues until all 30 Superstars have entered the bout. Elimination occurs when a Superstar is thrown over the top rope, and both feet hit the floor. The last Superstar in the ring will be declared the victor.
- Natalya
- Bayley
- Sasha Banks
- Ember Moon
- Ruby Riott
- Sarah Logan
- Liv Morgan
- Carmella (earned the coveted No. 30 spot by winning WWE Mixed Match Challenge with R-Truth.)
Don’t miss the wildly unpredictable Women’s Royal Rumble Match, Sunday, Jan. 27, at 7 ET/4 PT, streaming live on the award-winning WWE Network.
