History will be made at the 30th Anniversary of the Royal Rumble when the WWE Universe witnesses the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match on Sunday, Jan. 28.
It was truly an emotional moment on the Dec. 18 edition of Monday Night Raw when Commissioner Stephanie McMahon made the monumental announcement, declaring that female WWE Superstars will compete for a championship opportunity at WrestleMania 34.
In the historic event, the same rules that apply to the Men’s Royal Rumble Match will apply to the Women’s. Thirty Superstars will enter, one at a time, at consistent intervals. An elimination occurs when a Superstar is sent over the top rope with both feet touching the floor, and the last woman standing will receive a Championship Match at WrestleMania.
With 30 spots available in the ground-breaking contest, the competition promises to be as fierce as it gets. Superstars who have officially declared so far include:
1)
Asuka
2)
Ruby Riott
3)
Sasha Banks
4)
Bayley
5)
Naomi
6)
Natalya
7)
Paige
8)
Sonya Deville
9)
Mandy Rose

And now, as the established elite talent is joined by an influx of up-and-coming Superstars, the inaugural Women’s Royal Rumble Match will undoubtedly be a can’t-miss contest.
