As for the women's Royal Rumble match, as many as 17 spots are unknown and fans can expect a number of surprises and returns. Two of the biggest names speculated to return in the women's Royal Rumble match are former RAW Women's Champions, Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch.

However, according to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, neither Ronda Rousey nor Becky Lynch is scheduled to appear at Royal Rumble this Sunday.

It was at the 2018 Royal Rumble pay-per-view where Ronda Rousey made her WWE debut and took the wrestling world by storm. Rousey last appeared for WWE at WrestleMania 35 where she dropped the RAW Women's Championship to Becky Lynch in the historic first-ever all-women's WrestleMania main event.

As for Becky Lynch, she relinquished her RAW Women's Championship to the 2020 women's MITB winner Asuka on the RAW after the Money in the Bank pay-per-view and announced her pregnancy. Becky Lynch recently welcomed her first child with her fiance and WWE Superstar Seth Rollins.

There have been rumors of Vince McMahon wanting Becky Lynch back in time for WrestleMania 37 but it is safe to assume that Lynch won't be returning to the ring until she is healthy and ready to get back after giving birth.
