10 takeaways from WWE Royal Rumble 2019

#10 Becky Lynch is more than the women's rumble winner -- she's the man

It took a hand from fellow Irishman Fit Finlay to get Lynch into the Royal Rumble match.

When it comes to success stories, it's hard to find a more meteoric rise than Becky Lynch has enjoyed in recent months.

The Lasskicker was incredibly impressive on NXT, and was integral in the WWE women's evolution. She was a trailblazer who proved that women could actually be compelling performers without resorting to bra and panties matches or other lewd chicanery.

Then she made it to the main roster and kind of languished for a long time, despite enjoying a lot of support from the crowd. 2018, however, proved to be the year that Becky Lynch broke out of the doldrums and made it to the main event picture.

After losing her chance at the WWE Smackdown women's title earlier in the night, Lynch replaced an injured Lana in the Royal Rumble match and would go on to win the event. This proves that even if she came up short against Asuka Lynch is not done being in the spotlight of the WWE's women's division
