#4 2018 Royal Rumble: Ronda Rousey makes her debut

This match should have been about Asuka, right? Surprisingly, the answer is 'No.'

The 2018 Royal Rumble was a historical one. It was a monumental moment for the future of the Women's division, as the company announced their first-ever Women's Royal Rumble match.

It was an exciting affair from beginning to end, having many beautiful occurrences. Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch entered as the first two women. 28 other stars, including several pioneers of the Women's Revolution, kept joining in the fun.

The last person to enter the match was Trish Stratus, who had some fun battles with modern women superstars. The match was eventually won by Asuka, who eliminated Nikki Bella to get the historic victory. However, what happened after this contest is still fresh in the memories of the WWE Universe.

Ronda Rousey, one of UFC's greatest fighters ever, made her shocking WWE debut right after Asuka's victory.

She entered the ring, confronted both the Women Champions and, at last, pointed at the WrestleMania sign to mark her arrival. It was a moment that outshined the entire Royal Rumble match, and quite honestly, the whole pay-per-view.

#3. 2019 Royal Rumble: The Man meets her destiny.

Becky Lynch was the star of the Royal Rumble 2019 event. Her night started with disappointment as she failed to dethrone the Smackdown Women's Champion Asuka. However, people didn't know that this loss was setting her up for bigger things.

Later in the night, fans got to witness one of the best Royal Rumbles in history. Charlotte Flair was at her best in this match as she kept taking down every obstacle in her path. But even The Queen didn't expect what was about to happen in the final stages of the bout.

Things got heated when Nia Jax attacked Lana outside the ring and prevented her from entering the match. It turned out to be a mistake as Becky Lynch grabbed the opportunity to replace Lana. Therefore, The Man was able to force her way in even without being in the match before.

The last two stars remaining in the match were Charlotte and Becky. Minutes prior, both friends worked together to remove Nia Jax from the ring. But now, they were ready to rip each other apart in order to get their WrestleMania ticket.

In the end, Becky was able to outlast The Queen. The moment now seems even more memorable, considering Becky's future husband, Seth Rollins, also won the Men's Royal Rumble later that night.
