Sasha Banks came out as the first superstar at the Women’s WWE Royal Rumble, followed by Melina. The two traded words but Banks scored the elimination just seconds later.

Legends continued to enter throughout the contest as Banks worked her way up in the match. She eliminated Kelly Kelly and looked like one of the favorites to win. Queen Zelina eventually eliminated her as Bianca Belair entered the contest.

Sonya Deville came out at #11 and joined commentary rather than immediately entering the match. Naomi followed and eliminated Deville. Many legends and Hall of Famers came in next before Ronda Rousey entered at #27.

The Baddest Woman on the Planet did well throughout the match and eliminated a few superstars. In the end, Flair charged at Rousey and Rousey caught her, suplexing her over the top rope for the win. It was a good match that put over a few superstars.

Rousey’s return was expected, and not many thought she would enter the Royal Rumble and win it. She will likely resume her rivalry with Becky Lynch which will lead to a massive contest at WrestleMania.
