On WWE SmackDown, a video package was shown to announce a few competitors for this year's Women's Royal Rumble.

Some of the big names included were The Bella Twins, Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly, and Lita. However, the biggest and most unexpected name on the screen was that of IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Champion, Mickie James.

The Queen Charlotte Flair then announced that she would also enter the 30-woman match, become the first champion to win it, and then choose whom she would defend her title against at WrestleMania.

SmackDown made some big announcements this week, but the inclusion of former WWE Superstar Mickie James was arguably the biggest.

It was a good way to get the fans excited. If James wins, she could challenge Flair for the SmackDown Women’s title.

It also seems the creative team does not have a path for Flair after Toni Storm’s release and Sasha Banks’ potential injury. Having her in the Royal Rumble match will help the creative team create some top spots.
