#3 Trish Stratus (WWE Royal Rumble 2018)
The first-ever Women's Royal Rumble match was memorable for many reasons, but the return of multiple legends like Molly Holly, Michelle McCool, and Lita was the clincher. These women were fantastic wrestlers but performed in an era when their in-ring skills took a backseat to everything else. To see them receive the spotlight they deserve here was emotional yet rousing.
However, out of all the returns at Royal Rumble, Trish Stratus returning at number 30 sent the fans into a frenzy. Though it was expected the former six-time Women's Champion would make her presence felt, the moment her music hit, the crowd erupted. During her five minute stay in the ring, she managed to accumulate three eliminations in the form of Natalya, Nia Jax, and her greatest rival, Mickie James, before being eliminated by Sasha Banks.
This return to action wasn't just a one-off as Stratus would go on to wrestle at the first-ever all-women PPV, Evolution, in a tag-team match and a spectacular singles clash against Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam 2019, in a losing effort.
