RIPPA Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Man even though it seems soon, it is still 6 months away. Anyway Announced so far Brock Lesnar vs. Kane vs. Braun Strowman - Universal Title Men's Royal Rumble Match - Elias is 1st person officially entered Women's Royal Rumble Match - Naomi is 1st SDL women in* * - the WWE website reads weird since they made sure to say 1st Smackdown woman... but there is no one else listed who would officially be in it from RAW
Guest Edwin Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 It’s a given Tye Dillinger will be entrant #10 in the Rumble match.

RIPPA Posted December 21, 2017 Author Posted December 21, 2017 Per Meltzer - the plan is for the women’s rumble to have 30 entrants 1
Matt788 Posted December 25, 2017 Posted December 25, 2017 Theres only about 20 women on Raw and SD, I guess the others will come from NXT?

The Green Meanie Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Part of the issue is we don't know the number of entrants yet.

The Green Meanie Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Didn't see that, but then again it is Meltzer, so have the whole "they changed it" line ready just in case.
Brysynner Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 1. Alicia Fox 2. Asuka 3. Bayley 4. Dana Brooke 5. Mandy Rose 6. Mickie James 7. Nia Jax 8. Paige 9. Sasha Banks 10. Sonya Deville 11. Becky Lynch 12. Carmella 13. Lana 14. Liv Morgan 15. Naomi 16. Nattie 17. Ruby Riott 18. Sarah Logan 19. Tamina Using NXT Talent: 20. Billie Kay 21. Ember Moon 22. Kairi Sane 23. Lacey Evans 24. Nikki Cross 25. Peyton Royce 26. Taynara Conti 27. Zelina Vega That leaves room for some combo of Stephanie McMahon/Trish Stratus/Beth Phoenix/Brie Bella/Nikki Bella/Ronda Rousey/Shanya Blazer/Eve Torres/Dana Warrior/Eva Marie I would think Beth and Trish are locks since Beth is (I believe) the only woman alive to have Royal Rumble experience and Trish is considered to be one of the greatest WWE women ever. I think Steph would be in it because I can't imagine the face of the Women's Revolution not being in the match.
Casey Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Awesome Kong/Kharma has Royal Rumble experience.
Brysynner Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 I forgot about her brief WWE run. According to Wikipedia it was her only WWE match too.
Iron Moose Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 I'd add Alexa... it seems reasonable to deploy the "champ in the rumble to avoid a title defense" line given Asuka coming for her. By that logic, we can add Charlotte...
RIPPA Posted December 26, 2017 Author Posted December 26, 2017 Pro Wrestling Sheet or Meltzer - I forget who - had a story that the WWE has already contacted Lita, Trish Stratus, Beth Phoenix and Kelly Kelly. They want to make the women's Rumble as important as the men's rumble so apparently they are hoping to get a lot of "names" 1

By that logic, we can add Charlotte... Charlotte flat out said that because she is champ she isn't in the Rumble. And RAW sure seemed to imply that Alexa isn't in either since she is Champ
Brian Fowler Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 I'd love to see the Twitter meltdown of "oh my God Punk is coming back" if AJ Lee was a surprise in it (this won't be happening, I'm pretty damn sure) Especially if then Punk continued to not return.

Remember, it is in Philly. I'd say there's zero chance she'll be in it.
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Kaitlyn has been posting a ton of wrestling training videos, she's on good terms with WWE too. A comeback is a possibility.

Cleavy Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 so if Charlotte and Alexa aren't in the Rumble match, will they face each other in a non-title rematch?
Brian Fowler Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Have them do commentary. Done and done. 1
RIPPA Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 So after this week's shows - known entrants (per wwe.com) Men Randy Orton Shinsuke Nakamura Elias Women Naomi Asuka Ruby Riott Natalya (announced via Youtube after SDL) There are Youtube videos up on the website with Bayley and Nia both talking about being in the match but neither is "officially" entered yet
JonnyLaw Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 I’m surprised Charlotte and Alexa aren’t in it given the historical nature of the event and the gap between the current number on the roster and 30.
