#3. May win the Royal Rumble again: Becky Lynch

There were few Royal Rumble wins as perfectly-timed as Becky Lynch's in 2019. She was the fastest-rising star in WWE and had gained a whole new level of popularity. WWE decided to capitalize on her momentum, and she wasn't even scheduled to be a part of the Royal Rumble match.

After losing to Asuka in an incredible opener, she later took the injured Lana's spot and went on to win the Royal Rumble match - becoming the second winner of the women's edition in the process.

Becky Lynch is likely to be a staple of WWE's Women's division for years to come, and another Royal Rumble win wouldn't be surprising.


#2. May never win it again: Asuka

Asuka will always go down in history as the first winner of the Women's Royal Rumble match. It was Japanese domination that year as Shinsuke Nakamura won the Men's Royal Rumble match earlier that night.

The main event slot of the Women's Royal Rumble match was due to be Ronda Rousey's debut, but it was a huge spot to be in. Three years into her main roster run, Asuka remains a key figure of WWE's Women's division.

While she may still win more Championships, she is unlikely to win the Royal Rumble match again.
