5 Superstars Who Should Win The 2019 Women's Royal Rumble Match

As the second annual women's Royal Rumble match emerges, we are getting closer to seeing another women make history by defeating 29 other female superstars to go onto WrestleMania 35 to challenge for either the Raw Women's Championship or the Smackdown Women's Championship.

The winner of the first-ever women's Royal Rumble in 2018 was none other than Asuka, and despite the fact that she didn't win her title match against Charlotte Flair at Wrestlemania 34, Asuka is still standing strong today as the current Smackdown Women's Champion.

This shows that you can still solidify your status as an elite female superstar by winning the Royal Rumble. The women of the WWE not only deserve to have a huge match of this caliber at the PPV event, but there are more than enough female superstars to keep the Royal Rumble matches running every single year.

Here are 5 potential superstars that should win the 2019 Women's Royal Rumble match.

#5. Ruby Riott

Will Ruby Riot be the underdog of this year's Royal Rumble?

Ruby Riott made her Smackdown Live debut on the November 21st, 2017 edition of Smackdown Live alongside Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan as a trio also known as The Riott Squad. The three women caused havoc on the Smackdown Live women's roster before they were all drafted to Raw on April 16th, 2018 as part of the Superstar Shake-Up. It is without a doubt that Riott is the current leader of the Riott Squad, with her surname being the basis of the name for the stable. Riott has proven that she makes a serious contender for the Raw Women's Championship due to her amazing in-ring abilities, as she was able to hone her craft on the independent scene.

Riott stands out more than her two partners, and she has the ability to play the role of either a babyface as seen on NXT, or as a vicious heel as she is showing every single night that she appears on Raw. However, Riott has yet to win a Women's Championship on either Raw or Smackdown.

On the 1st October 2018- we saw Ruby Riott go face to face with Ronda Rousey in a non-title match. It was a match where Rousey managed to gain the win over Riott, but Riott still ended up looking like a viable threat to the title despite the loss. Riott would be a fantastic option to win the 2019 Women's Royal Rumble match because it would establish her status on the main roster. It would also boost the credibility of The Riott Squad, if she was able to cement a spot for the Raw or Smackdown Women's Championship at Wrestlemania 35.

#4. Natalya

Could The Queen of Harts defeat 29 other women to ensure a Wrestlemania 35 spot?

The Queen of Harts is another excellent suggestion to come out on top at this year's Women's Royal Rumble match. Natalya is one of the best female superstars on the roster today, due to her training at the famous Hart Dungeon. She is also a former WWE Divas Champion, she has also previously held the Smackdown Women's Championship as well.

The reason why Nattie makes a good candidate to be the winner of this year's Royal Rumble is due to the potential for another match against Ronda Rousey at Wrestlemania. She has already faced Ronda Rousey before on the Christmas Eve edition of Raw at 24th December 2018 for the Raw Women's Championship, in a fantastic match where Rousey was able to come out on top again.

However, there are still legs to the possible rivalry that Rousey & Nattie could have- as their first match didn't contain a lot of heat to it due to the friendship between the two women. If Nattie was to win this year's Royal Rumble, it's clear that she would pick Rousey as her opponent- and it would intensify the rumors of Nattie possibly turning heel to face Rousey at Wrestlemania 35.

There are plenty of reasons why Nattie could turn on Rousey in her quest to become Raw Women's Champion. First of all, Nattie was one of the female superstars who had helped Rousey train to become a WWE superstar. Another reason could be the fact that Nattie thinks that Rousey wouldn't have become champion in the WWE if it wasn't for her.

And as we've seen before on Smackdown Live, Nattie also has the tools to play the role of a babyface or heel when desired. A potential rivalry with Ronda Rousey might be on the horizon for The Queen of Harts, but the best way for that to occur would be for Nattie to win the 2019 Women's Royal Rumble match.

#3. Ember Moon

The

Shenom

At #3 on the list, we have none other than The Shenom herself- Ember Moon. On April, 9th 2018, we witnessed the official main roster debut of Ember as she made her first appearance on Raw to team up with Nia Jax to take on Alexa Bliss & Mickie James in a match where Ember & Nia were able to come out on top.

The fact of the matter is, Ember has yet to receive a one on one shot at the Raw Women's Championship. She is the strongest female superstar on the Raw roster today when it comes to in-ring abilities. Ember also arguably has the best finisher on the Raw roster, as The Eclipse (Diving Corkscrew Stunner) is a beautiful sight to see when executed to perfection.

Ember has already made a name for herself over on NXT, where she has been the NXT Women's Champion. Whilst her reign wasn't entirely memorable, she has proven that she could have fantastic matches as we've seen in her feud with Shayna Baszler. The War Goddess' rivalry with Baszler was booked very well, and this is another indication that Ember could have a great feud with Ronda Rousey if the rivalry was booked right.

If Ember was to win the Royal Rumble match, she could also continue her rivalry with Asuka over on Smackdown- but that's only if she chose to face Asuka for the Smackdown Women's Championship. Ember & Asuka have had multiple wars over on NXT, and the fact that Ember has never beaten Asuka could be the key to making this captivating rivalry translate onto the main roster efficiently.

#2. Charlotte Flair

The Queen is a strong contender to win the Royal Rumble match.

Charlotte Flair appears at #2 on the list of Women who could potentially win the 2019 Royal Rumble match. There is no denying that The Queen has accomplished the most out of the entire Women's roster on Raw & Smackdown. She is a former NXT Women's Champion, a former Divas Champion- and she has held the Raw Women's Championship 4 times. Charlotte has also held the Smackdown Women's Championship twice in her career.

Flair doesn't even need to win the Royal Rumble match as she has already proven herself with her credentials- but a Royal Rumble victory would add to the already-growing list of achievements for Charlotte.

A rivalry with Ronda Rousey also seems to be on the cards for Charlotte, especially after the way their Survivor Series 2018 inter-brand match turned out- with Charlotte brutally attacking Rousey to give the Raw Women's Champion a win via disqualification.

And it is evident that this rivalry isn't over as at TLC 2018- Rousey also cost Charlotte the opportunity to become Smackdown Women's Championship in retaliation from Charlotte's actions at Survivor Series 2018 by knocking Flair and Becky Lynch off the ladder to allow Asuka to become Smackdown Women's Champion.

WWE has wanted to make Charlotte the face of their Women's division from the moment she stepped foot onto the main roster, due to Flair being the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer in Ric Flair. However, with Ronda Rousey in the picture- it's clear that Charlotte has some heavy competition.

The possibility of Charlotte winning the Royal Rumble is very high, especially as this is her first Royal Rumble match- and she could even rekindle her rivalry with Asuka for a Wrestlemania rematch if she was to win.

#1. Becky Lynch

The Man is the most likely option to headline Wrestlemania 35.

Finally, we have The Man herself at the top of this star-studded list. There simply isn't a better option to win this year's Women's 2019 Royal Rumble than Becky Lynch. She is a two-time Smackdown Women's Champion, and she is the most popular superstar out of the entire WWE roster today.

On the January 1st edition of Smackdown Live, Becky Lynch's momentum continued to rise as she surprisingly interrupted John Cena's segment after he called out anybody on the roster to come face to face with him in the ring. This led to Lynch & Cena teaming up to face Andrade 'Cien' Almas & Zelina Vega in a Mixed Tag Team match where Lynch & Cena came out victorious.

This moment was so huge for the career of Becky Balboa because it signified the passing of the torch from Cena to Becky as the face of this company. On a previous article, I stated that Becky Lynch is the perfect choice to be The Man of the Women's division- but after this week's episode of Smackdown, it's clear that she is on the cusp of becoming 'The Man' of the entire WWE.

Along with Charlotte Flair, Becky also seems to be in contention to face Ronda Rousey at Wrestlemania 35. This is a match that the WWE Universe has been desperate to see, especially as this match was scheduled for Survivor Series 2018- but it was unable to happen due to Becky Lynch's nose injury.

But despite Charlotte being a good choice to face Ronda Rousey in a rematch from Survivor Series, you can't argue with the fact that Becky is the even better choice to take on Rousey at Wrestlemania. Pitting two of the hottest females in the WWE today to face each other in a brutal match definitely warrants a spot in the Wrestlemania main event.

Becky Lynch winning the Women's Royal Rumble would be a moment for the ages, and it is exactly the achievement that Lynch needs after dropping the Smackdown Women's Championship to Asuka at TLC 2018. Of course, Lynch could also challenge Asuka to regain the title that she unfairly lost- but it's clear that a potential match against Ronda Rousey is definitely the best way to go to complete Lynch's rise to being a megastar.
