#4 Aksana was backstage at the 2022 Royal Rumble

According to PWInsider, Aksana was booked and scheduled to appear in the 2022 Women's Royal Rumble match.

Although the appearance did not come to fruition, she was, in fact, backstage at the event. Of course, as always with WWE, plans can change very quickly, and it appears Aksana may have been the victim of some last-minute changes.

Aksana's last in-ring WWE match came in June 2014 when she lost to Alicia Fox on SmackDown.


#3 Jillian Hall was backstage at the 2022 Royal Rumble event

Another report from PWInsider revealed that JBL's former on-screen publicist, Jillian Hall, was also scheduled to appear in the Women's Rumble match. The singing superstar apparently featured in the rehearsals for the big match.

Jillian returned to WWE last year to enter the 2021 Women's Rumble match, which was her first WWE appearance since 2010.

However, it appears Jillian may have also been the victim of some late changes by WWE.
