#8 Nia Jax courts controversy by entering the men's rumble
There have been two other times when a woman entered the men's Royal Rumble. The first person to hold that honor is the dearly departed Joanie Laurer, AKA Chyna, who was also coincidentally the first woman to hold the Intercontinental championship in the WWE.

The second woman to enter a Rumble match was Beth Phoenix, who managed to eliminate the gigantic Great Khali. However, both of those women's performances were eclipsed by Nia Jax as she took out R-Truth and stole his Royal Rumble spot.
What sets Nia apart from her cohorts is the fact that she not only entered the Rumble, but appeared to be dominating it. It actually took the combined efforts of three male superstars and their finishing moves to eliminate her, and considering Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, and Dolph Ziggler are all Grand Slam WWE champions, it was more impressive still.
There has been some controversy about her appearance at the Rumble, a lot of which revolves around men being physically violent with a woman, but anyone who watches pro wrestling will tell you, Nia Jax is not like most girls.
