WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal

Now let's take a look at who competed in the women's battle royal, which had to change its name due to controversy.

Naomi - Last year's winner is down from WrestleMania 34. She seems to have settled into her role as mid-card jobber. A tag title run might await her one day, but it's unlikely to come soon. Sell.

Bayley - Up from WrestleMania 34. It took a long time and a nonsensical angle with Sasha Banks for the first half of last year, but she's now one of the first modern women's tag team champions and will defend her title on the big stage. She won't be a pre-show afterthought anymore and is set to have a prosperous reign. Buy.

Carmella - Up from WrestleMania 34. Her failed title run was a bubble in her price, but she's in a better place as an entertaining babyface with R-Truth than she was as an already failed heel Money in the Bank holder last year. Hold.

Dana Brooke - The same since WrestleMania 34, which is to say, nothing. Sell.

Mandy Rose - Up from WrestleMania 34, as she just had a title match against Asuka, and will probably be involved in that picture under the big lights. Still, her fundamentals are as weak as Carmella's were last year, and if she gets a title run soon, it will fail. Her price might rise as a result, but it will crash. Long term, she's a sell.

Sonya Deville - Up from WrestleMania 34 as the former Absolution member that should be pushed but hasn't gotten the chance. She's improved nicely, and will probably be involved in the SmackDown women's title match. She won't win, and it's hard to gauge how far WWE will push her, but her fundamentals are strong, and unlike Mandy, she would make the most of her opportunities. Hold.

Kairi Sane - Up from WrestleMania 34. Even though she was treated unfairly as NXT Women's Champion, big things are coming for her. She might well win the NXT Women's title again at TakeOver: New York, and will probably have big matches alongside and against Io Shirai this year, before her eventual arrival on the main roster later in 2019, where dream matches against the horsewomen and Asuka await. Of all the superstars on last year's WrestleMania card, Sane's stock is one of those with the highest potential growth. Buy.

Lana - Down from WrestleMania 34. She's even more irrelevant this year, despite her reunion with Rusev. Sell.

Kavita Devi - Down from WrestleMania 34. Her return performance in the second Mae Young Classic was as unimpressive as her debut and she's done nothing else. Sell.

Taynara Conti - Up from WrestleMania 34, but only slightly, and, discerning from her rare appearances on NXT, her rate of improvement hasn't exactly been quick. Sell.

Bianca Belair - Up from WrestleMania 34. She's risen to prominence in the NXT women's division and will compete again for the title at TakeOver: New York. Though she's overrated, and her rate of improvement hasn't been as high as some of the others, it's clear WWE prioritizes her. She probably won't win the title on April 5th, but it can't be ruled out, and her stock will continue to grow regardless. Buy.

Dakota Kai - Down from WrestleMania 34. She has been treated as a jobber on NXT and her recent injury puts her in a worse spot. Sell.

Becky Lynch - Up from WrestleMania 34. That's an understatement. Her stock has risen more in the past year than anyone else's. In 12 months, she'll have gone from the pre-show to being one of the first women to main event a WrestleMania, and she's definitely walking out with the title, so she still hasn't peaked. Buy.

Mickie James - The same from WrestleMania 34, which is a low card jobber. Still, James is an underrated veteran, and there's not much lower she can go. She might get a fluke win from which you can take profits. Hold.

Peyton Royce - Up from WrestleMania 34, if ever so slightly. At least she gets airtime now, which she didn't get in her last months in NXT. She might even compete for the tag titles on April 7th. Just don't expect her to win. She can't realistically go much lower than she is now and might get a fluke win at some point. Hold.

Natalya - Up from WrestleMania 34, as her friendship with Ronda Rousey has given her new prominence. She'll even team up with Beth Phoenix in a tag team title match. She won't win, but her fortunes are pretty much locked in at this point. Hold.

Liv Morgan - The same from WrestleMania 34, which is to say, cannon fodder. Sell.

Ruby Riott - The leader of the Riott Squad continues to be held back by the role she's in. Were the no-purpose group to be broken up, though, her value would instantly increase, and she probably has a tag title reign ahead of her at some point. Hold.

Sarah Logan - See Liv Morgan. Sell.

Sasha Banks - See Bayley. Buy.
