The Women’s Royal Rumble match was one of the most entertaining matches of the night. While the match was won by a Superstar belonging to RAW, it was the women of NXT who shined bright during the match.

No less than ten women from NXT and one from NXT UK participated in the match, making it more about the Black & Gold brand rather than its counterparts.

Not only did the twelve women participate, but a few of them impressed a lot of fans. Bianca Belair, who was the second entrant in the match, was the brightest star as she not only eliminated eight women in the match but did so while being in contention for the NXT Championship.

Her efforts helped her gain a whole new fan following, and allowed her to showcase her strength and talent on one of the biggest stages in the world.

Not only did Belair eliminate eight Superstars at the top of the match, but fan-favorite Shayna Baszler entered at the last spot and also eliminated eight women.

Even though Baszler did not go on to win the Rumble, she managed to show her dominance and prepare to become a three-time NXT Champion.
