The third edition of the Women's Royal Rumble is scheduled to take place this year, and with 30 of the best WWE female wrestlers in the ring, one can only imagine the possible outcome. There are so many Superstars who are already being considered the standard-bearer in the women's division. The upcoming women's battle royal will have Superstars from all brands and one can only imagine the amazing in-ring action that will take place when the best female wrestlers in the company fight it out.
2019 was a great year for the women's division, and 2020 is expected to take it to even greater heights. Bayley, Becky Lynch, and Rhea Ripley are the champions of their respective brands in the company, and the winner, after fighting it out with 29 other female Superstars, will have an opportunity to challenge one of the three.
There is a possibility of a few surprise entrants in the match, which would help in raising the stakes as well as the entertainment value for the fans in the arena and at home.
According to me, three Superstars have a huge possibility of being the winner of this year's Women's Royal Rumble match and it would not be a surprise, at least for me, if one of them reigns supreme at the upcoming female battle royal.

So without further ado, let's get down to it:
#3 Asuka
The last couple of years have been mediocre (at best) for The Empress of Tomorrow. Asuka won the SmackDown Women's Championship during TLC in 2018 but dropped it on the March 26 episode of SmackDown to Charlotte Flair. She hasn't featured in a Women's Championship match since but did win the Women's Tag Team Championships along with Kairi Sane during the Hell In A Cell PPV, and still has the title on her waist.
Asuka is currently involved in a feud with Becky Lynch, and if she loses the title match but goes on to win the Women's battle royal, it would be a great way to push a Superstar who was undefeated until Charlotte Flair pinned her during a singles match for the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 34.

#2 Shayna Baszler
Shayna Baszler is a powerhouse performer and her participation, as well as win, at Survivor Series, along with the work during NXT TakeOver: WarGames make her one of the most fierce competitors in the entire division of the company. She holds the sixth-longest women's championship reign of 416 days and has always been a force to be reckoned with on the Black and Gold brand.
With 29 other Superstars in the ring, Shayna Baszler has to defy the odds as she always has and do something unexpected to be the winner of this year's Royal Rumble. A win by her will set the tone for WrestleMania, and as she is no longer the NXT Women's Champion, she can challenge Rhea Ripley. The two have great in-ring chemistry and will put on a show that will be remembered by WWE Universe for a long time, or she can also challenge Bayley as the SmackDown women's division, and champion, both need a special push.

Special Mention: Ronda Rousey
Ronda Rousey has been at the epicenter of everything in the women's division since making her official debut during the end of 2018's Royal Rumble. It was the first Women's Royal Rumble, and there couldn't have been a better ending to this match as The Most Dangerous Women On The Planet decided to switch careers from UFC to WWE.
She lost her title at WrestleMania 35 and ended her 232-day reign as the RAW Women's champion. It was reported that Rousey had suffered an injury, and she is currently on her healing journey. During an interview, she had revealed that a return is definitely on her mind, but there is no confirmed date about the same.
It would be the biggest surprise if Ronda Rousey enters the match at the 30th position and goes on to win it. She would likely go after her former adversary Becky Lynch after the win, and that would be a storyline that would make the fans tune in to RAW every week.
#1 Liv Morgan
Liv Morgan was an element of surprise during the Bobby Lashley - Lana marriage segment on RAW, and while it was speculated that she may be a part of the Firefly Funhouse, Morgan showed up on the Red brand and is currently not getting the required time on TV.
This can change if she wins the Women's Royal Rumble match because then she will be in a position to challenge a Superstar of her choosing, which could likely be the NXT Women's Champion Rhea Ripley or RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch. In case she decides to go for either of the two women, she would have enough time to hype her story and also improve her in-ring skills in the process.
She must have worked on her performance skills during her absence from TV since July, and with WrestleMania going to take place in April, she has ample time to brush up her skills. This would be an outcome that no one would have expected, and could emerge as one of the biggest selling points from the Women's Royal Rumble match.
