#4 30 – Woman Royal Rumble Match

Winner: Becky Lynch

Rating: 3.25/5

Becky Lynch won the Women's Royal Rumble match

The women’s Royal Rumble match got off to a very slow start and almost felt like a glorified battle royal. WWE decided that Lacey Evans would start the match, which was good because she got a lot of time to showcase her skills.

The match picked up pace once Charlotte Flair entered at number 13. Charlotte looked absolutely dominant throughout the match which showed why she is a class above the rest.

WWE played well on the Naomi – Mandy Rose storyline. Naomi chucked her rival out of the ring but almost got eliminated in the process. Somehow, she evaded elimination only to be eliminated by Mandy Rose. This was lovely to watch and got Mandy Rose a lot of heat.

This match also had a lot of silly spots like Maria Kanellis and Alicia Fox fighting over a hat and Zelina Vega hiding under the ring only to be chased out by Hornswoggle. While these spots were silly, they just made the match more fun to watch.

This match involved women from NXT and NXT: UK like Rhea Ripley and Kacy Catanzaro, who at one point climbed up the turnbuckle to avoid elimination.

What lacked at the start of the match, WWE made up for with a 5-star finish. The match really got interesting when Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Nia Jax and Carmella entered the rumble. Lana was injured during Rusev’s match on the pre-show and couldn’t enter the match. Guess who took her place.

It was Becky Lynch, and once that happened, we all knew who was going to win the Royal Rumble match. The match came down to Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch before ‘The Man’ eliminated Charlotte to win her ticket to WrestleMania.
