Bron Breaker, Liv Morgan, Jordyn Grace and Jade Cargill made this show for me.

it was entirely too predictable but those 4 produced some fun moments.

They cooked from the get go by putting the Womens Rumble up first, Naomi out almost instantly and then Jordynne? :CENA Soon as I saw her come out I wondered to myself whether Naomi's contract had officially expired or not and this was there deal to make both happen. Fair play though, they made her look good and she was in for what felt like a good amount of time.

One thing I noticed about this match is that they kept mentioning they would main event WrestleMania while I don't believe they used that phrasing for the mens. I thought there would be no way in hell they would do a Bayley/Iyo main event but it makes me wonder if they think they can heat this thing up to make it worthy while also throwing Bayley a bone and not having her as the only 4HW to not main event.

Finally we got Jade and what a fucking superstar she's going to be. I fucking hate the trend of 'aura' but jesus christ does she have it. I thought she was going to have a bunch of eliminations to really spotlight her but clearly they didn't need to do that.

Tiffany got a huge elimination of Bianca, Liv got a huge elimination of Jade and then Bayley wins, great ending. I do wish they let it played out just a few seconds more when Jade got eliminated, really sell that huge shock moment.

2 years in a row with Rhodes winning his 2nd Men's Royal Rumble Match in a row going back to back...last person to do it was Austin in 1997-1998 so if anyone was worthy of going back to back it is Cody

Bayley is a Grand Slam Champion being the 3rd Horsewoman to win a Women's Royal Rumble Match...Charlotte Flair 4 years ago in 2020 and Becky Lynch 5 years ago in 2019. Bayley joins that club but the only Horsewoman to not win a Women's Royal Rumble Match is Sasha Banks/Mercedes Mone

I agree 100 percent. The more lapsed fan probably had no idea who she even is or why her and Naomi were hugging.
