WWE 2022 Women's Royal Rumble - 5 Potential finishes - Hall of Fame winner, long-overdue return, dark horse emerges victorious

The 2022 Women's Royal Rumble match takes place this weekend and WWE has already announced 21 of the women who will make up the field.

Hall of Famers, Legends, and even the IMPACT Wrestling Women's Champion will be part of the show this weekend, which could create some interesting moments as part of the match.

The match itself remains wide open at present with nine slots still open and any of the women in the match being seen as a potential winner.

The following list looks at just five potential finishes for the Women's Royal Rumble match on Saturday night.

#5. Liv Morgan wins The Royal Rumble and earns another shot at Becky Lynch

Liv Morgan was once seen as a forgettable member of The Riott Squad. However, since the release of Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan, Morgan has stepped up her game and was recently toe-to-toe with the RAW Women's Champion.

Whilst Bianca Belair is currently seen as the favorite to win her second Women's Royal Rumble match, Liv Morgan could easily be seen as the dark horse.

Morgan was defeated by Lynch at Day 1 earlier this month, but it was noted that the end of the match was botched and the two women were originally scheduled to face off again.

Doudrop challenges Lynch for the RAW Women's Championship at The Royal Rumble, but Liv Morgan could be the woman to win The Rumble match and go on to challenge Lynch at WrestleMania.

The former Riott Squad member has become a popular star amongst the WWE Universe and there was a belief that she could finally be the woman to dethrone The Man late last year.

Morgan almost had The Champion beaten several times in the match before she was forced to cheat to win. At Day 1 it was revealed that Lynch was supposed to cheat to win once again.

Morgan vs Lynch could be a WrestleMania-worthy match and the former NXT Superstar deserves to be on the card for this year's event.

#4. Nikki and Brie Bella are the final two in the Women's Royal Rumble match

WWE has called back Hall of Famers Nikki and Brie Bella. The twins are set to be part of the upcoming Women's Royal Rumble match. Brie and Nikki haven't stepped into a WWE ring in several years and both recently welcomed children.

That being said, it has been made clear over the past few months that the former champions want to make their return in order to hold the Women's Tag Team Championships.

Nikki has even noted that she would love to become the first Rumble winner to refuse to face the Women's Champion. She would instead decide to cash her title shot in for the Tag Team Championships along with her sister.

The Women's Royal Rumble match has only been an annual affair since 2018 but the company has never crowned two winners. Could Nikki and Brie Bella become the final two women in the match and Hunger Games-style refuse to fight each other, which means that both become the first-ever joint winners of the match?

This would be one way to ensure that the two women are able to fight for the Tag Team Championships.

#3. Lita wins the Women's Royal Rumble, challenges Charlotte Flair

Lita will be just one of the WWE legends who will make up the field in the Women's Royal Rumble match this weekend.

Ahead of her return to the annual match, the WWE Hall of Famer made her return on SmackDown last week and put SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte on notice.

The former four-time Women's Champion made it clear that she believes she has one more run in her and this could begin at the Rumble this weekend.

If Lita is successful and wins the match, then it's clear that she will be the woman challenging Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania in April.

WWE also has the option for Lita to be eliminated by The Bella Twins. When The Bellas later become Tag Team Champions, this could lead to Lita bringing Trish Stratus back to the company in order to exact revenge.

Trish Stratus isn't one of the women currently announced for The Rumble on Saturday night, but there is nothing stopping the Hall of Famer from being one of the remaining surprise entrants in the match.

#2. Naomi is about to win The Women's Royal Rumble but is stopped by Sonya Deville

Naomi and WWE Official Sonya Deville are set to face off this week on SmackDown. Just one night before the Women's Royal Rumble match.

Naomi has already been announced as one of the women who will be part of the match on Saturday night, but if she is able to make it all the way to the final four, then Sonya Deville could decide to become creative and ensure that Naomi isn't victorious.

The former Women's Champion has become memorable for avoiding elimination in the most inventive ways over the past few years and this year could be no different. The fact that she is in a feud with Deville means that the former Tough Enough contestant will do her best to ensure that she doesn't walk out of St Louis victorious and will stop at nothing to eliminate her.

Deville is already under pressure from management in the company for her recent treatment of Naomi, so if she has nothing to lose then she could decide to make a statement this weekend.

#1. Ronda Rousey returns, wins The Royal Rumble, re-ignites feud with Becky Lynch

Ronda Rousey has never been part of a Women's Royal Rumble match, but that could change this weekend.

The big news this week is that WWE are already in talks with Ronda Rousey regarding a return, just four months after the birth of her daughter. Rousey has unfinished business with Becky Lynch and the two women could finally settle that at WrestleMania.

A determined Ronda Rousey would easily brush aside many of the women in the match in order to book her place in the WrestleMania main event for the second time.

Rousey broke her hand at WrestleMania 35 en route to losing her title to Becky Lynch. The Man currently holds the RAW Women's Championship and this will make her a target for the former UFC Champion.

If rumors are to be believed and Rousey is in The Royal Rumble, then it's hard to see past her winning the match and going on to fight for the RAW Women's Championship.

Lynch and Rousey staring down to end the premium live event would be the perfect way for the women to prove that there is still a revolution going on in the wrestling world.
