5 Wrestlers that could be a surprise in the Women's Royal Rumble Match

The third edition of the Women's Royal Rumble Match is all set to take place in a few days, and one can be sure that the WWE Universe is aware that there will be a host of wrestlers that are set to either make a comeback or return for a one-off appearance. This keeps the fans intrigued as the clock counts to zero because there are so many possible surprises that could be waiting behind the curtain.

A lot can be said about who may return, and the speculation can be high on which returning woman would shock the fans most and raise the level of the match.

A number of female wrestlers are currently out due to injury, and there is a chance that one or more could return during the match as a surprise and to integrate themselves back into the storylines. It is with this in mind that I list 5 female wrestlers that would make for great surprises in the match. As always, your thoughts are welcome in the comments section below.

#5 Ruby Riott

The Squad may be over, but the captain thrives

Ruby Riott has been off WWE TV since suffering a bilateral shoulder injury in 2019. She went through various surgeries and has had a long rehab process, and it would be an amazing moment if she returns during the match. The Riott Squad is not currently united, as Sarah Logan is involved in a storyline with Charlotte Flair, while Liv Morgan is involved in the Rusev-Lana-Bobby Lashley storyline.

With just one member not on TV at the moment, who happens to be the one-time leader of the team, it would be a great reunion to see her enter the ring after Sarah and Liv's numbers have already been called. This would set the tone for some amazing fight, and the pop that the former Riott Squad leader would receive could be phenomenal.

#4 Tamina Snuka

Will she get the opportunity to 'superfly'?

Tamina Snuka has been with the company for over a decade and has been a part of storylines as a wrestler that haven't given her the due credit that she rightfully deserves. The only title she has to her name is one short reign with the 24/7 Championship.

This time around, when it looked that she may be set to participate in a storyline that could finally further her career, she suffered a concussion during a live event. She was hardly seen on TV after that, and was drafted to SmackDown last year. but hasn't been on TV since winning and losing the 24/7 Championship at the begining of October.

If she were to walk down the aisle and immediately start dominating the other participating Superstars, it would immediately position her as an irresistible force. Even if she doesn't win, she would be able to impress the officials, and we may see her get the push she deserves. At 42 years of age, this may be her last run with the company, and she would want to end it on a high note.

#3 Allysin Kay (Sienna)

Will she make an impact?

Allysin Kay is no stranger to the WWE as the wrestler competed during the second Mae Young Classic, defeated in a first round match by Mia Yim. That doesn't take away the fact that she could be a great shock participant in the match, even for a one-time performance. She is the current NWA Women's Champion, and if she to shows up during the women's Royal Rumble match, not only would it be a surprise, but it would also help NWA get some more attention to their program.

While some may be of the idea that it is not a possibility, we have seen wrestlers and performers return for a one-time performance only in the past as well. This appearance would set the tone for some great action and may also help Allysin Kay, who currently goes by the name Sienna in the wrestling circuit. If she makes the move from NWA to WWE it would be huge for her, and if she doesn't jump, it could be the beginning of a partnership between the two companies, something that hasn't existed for over 20 years.

#2 Beth Phoenix

Will 'The Glamazon' enter the squared circle again?

Beth Phoenix left the wrestling scene in 2012. She accepted her induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017, and briefly returned to in-ring action in 2019 to reform her team, The Divas of Doom, with Natalya. Her in-ring action didn't last long as she soon joined the commentary desk on the yellow and black brand and has been performing her duties as a commentator.

We all know that this could change in an instant as Beth Phoenix has been a part of Royal Rumble in the past. She took part in the Royal Rumble in 2010 and eliminated The Great Khali. Beth was the second woman to ever enter the Rumble, as Chyna did it before her back in 1999. The Glamazon also took part in the first-ever women's Royal Rumble match in 2018, and it would be nice to see her return between the ropes and hit the Glam Slam on any wrestler.

#1 Nia Jax

Will 'The Facebreaker' make her return?

Nia Jax suffered a double ACL tear during WrestleMania 35 and has been out of action since the event. The wrestler had recently posted a video of her training at the WWE Performance Center, and this hints that Jax may be ready for an in-ring return soon.

In case she returns and wins the match, it would be a great ending because Nia was the one that had injured Becky Lynch during the SmackDown invasion of RAW during the build to Survivor Series 2018. That led to the creation of "The Man" character.

A match between Nia Jax and Becky Lynch would be the perfect way to end this storyline that has been waiting for closure for over a year. Becky Lynch has all the traits to make this as the most intriguing storyline, and the fans would be completely invested in every promo of this storyline. The fans would love to see these two square off at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
