#2 Two legends of the industry

Booker-T and Lita at the Rumble

The Women's Royal Rumble match saw several legends return to WWE. One of the biggest names already announced for the match was WWE Hall of Famer Lita. The Extreme Diva had not competed in the ring since October 2018, so fans were excited to see her.

Here Lita can be seen chatting with fellow WWE Hall of Famer Booker T, who was part of the Royal Rumble pre-show panel. The four-time Women's Champion is still in great shape, as can be seen above. While Lita was not able to win the Rumble, she is set to challenge Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's Championship at Elimination Chamber later this month.

#1 The Tribal Chief reigned supreme

Universal Champion Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns had one of the biggest matches of his record title reign at the Royal Rumble. He defended the Universal Championship against former Shield brother Seth Rollins, who left no stone unturned in his pyschological assault on the Tribal Chief. Reigns lost his cool and ended up getting himself disqualified, but he is still the champion.

In the above picture, Reigns can be seen backstage at the show with his Universal Championship title. The photo seems to have been taken just minutes before his opening match against Rollins.
