5 Royal Rumble winners who lost at WrestleMania

#3 Asuka, WrestleMania 34

On the road to WrestleMania back in 2018, Asuka made history by winning the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble match. In the match, she last eliminated Nikki Bella to win a shot at a title of her choosing. She decided to challenge Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship.

At the time, Asuka was one of the most dominant women in WWE. She was in the midst of a winning streak, which by the time WrestleMania 34 rolled around, stood at an impressive 914 days.

Charlotte Flair defeated Ruby Riott at Fastlane in order to retain the SmackDown Women's Championship, and get the title feud between herself and Asuka well underway. When Asuka chose to face Flair, her reasoning was that she wanted to face the best women's champion in WWE at the time.

At WrestleMania 34, the two women had a great match which ended with Charlotte Flair applying the Figure-Eight Leglock to Asuka, causing the challenger to tap out. This loss also meant Asuka's undefeated streak finally ended.

Shortly after this, Carmella won the SmackDown Women's Championship, and Asuka began a feud with her. Later that year, The Empress of Tomorrow finally won the title in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match against Flair and Becky Lynch.
