20 competitors who should be in the first women’s Royal Rumble

The Royal Rumble is one of the biggest nights of the year

#19 Peyton Royce

For our final shock entrance of the evening we’re going to turn towards NXT – and more specifically, we’re turning towards the Iconic Duo. Peyton Royce, alongside Billie Kay, has been able to completely transform her character over the last twelve months and she’s now one of the biggest stars on the women’s roster at Full Sail.

Having her weasel her way into the match so late in the day would be perfectly suited to her character, and most importantly, it doesn’t need to be a full-time thing. Royce will be just fine with returning to NXT for a few months after this, and in a lot of ways, this can be seen as a test drive before she joins the many other women who have graduated from the yellow ropes academy.

#20 Natalya

The final entrant needs to be someone who is going to get a big reaction from the crowd, and in our minds, it needs to be a heel. Natalya fits that description more so than most, and while she isn’t exactly drawing great heat right now, having her publically reveal where she’s going to enter for weeks beforehand could make for great television.

Her cockiness would obviously be her eventual undoing, but she’s about as dedicated as they come in terms of her work with the company and she has earned the right to make it to the bitter end. Asuka will likely eliminate her in the final four or five, but make no mistake about it, Nattie still has a great deal of upside.
