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

#3 Sonya Deville

Deville has a great deal of potential

Sonya Deville’s introduction to life in the big time was something that caught many fans off guard, and to be honest, they’re well within their rights to feel that way. Deville seemed to finally be building a touch of momentum down in NXT, and the whole process of putting her alongside Paige feels very rushed.

Still, you can only analyse what is put in front of you, and so far Sonya has been able to slot into the female main event scene quite nicely. As such, putting her into the match early in order to help out her pal Paige seems like the most logical move given the nature of her persona. Sure, she may not make it very far, but at least she can make an impact during her short tenure.

#4 Alicia Fox

Is Alicia the most underrated member of the roster?

You won’t find many other women on this list who have been a part of the WWE family as long as Alicia Fox has, and that’s a testament to just how hard she’s worked to get better over the years. Obviously, she isn’t going to be a main event player anytime soon, but the fact that she’s utilised on a week to week basis shows how much the company values her.

Of course, she isn’t going to go on and win this match, but her move set is perfect for a match like the Rumble. She can come in and hit a few scissor kicks early doors, which will take the pressure off of Bayley who would’ve been beaten down by Deville and Paige by this point.

Who knows, many she’ll even get a future title shot out of it based on her performance.
