Pro: NXT surprises and returning legends

Last night's announcement didn't go unnoticed by the women in NXT.

Might we see these or other NXT Superstars involved in the matchup? It surely would be a good idea to get them some exposure on one of WWE's biggest stages.

Not to be outdone, WWE's hall of fame women weren't silent either.

There's NOTHING @WWE women cannot do. It's been a long-time coming - can't wait for the FIRST EVER WOMENS #RoyalRumble! Now…where dem boots?

No Royal Rumble would be complete without some returning legends. Should Trish, Lita, or Alundra Blayze appear, Philly would certainly get loud, and it would add a lot of edge to the match, reducing the possibility of fan burnout with the two Rumbles.
