2019 Women's Royal Rumble Match: Predicting The Final 4

The 2019 WWE Royal Rumble takes place this Sunday. It is a stacked card, but the two Royal Rumble matches on the WWE card are perhaps the most eagerly anticipated.

Winning a Royal Rumble match is a huge, huge deal. However, one doesn't need to necessarily win the match in order to be presented as a huge deal. Being one of the final four superstars in the ring is a great honour in itself. The final four consists of a combination of likely winners, biggest stars, and the iron-woman of the match.

Last year, the final four consisted of Sasha Banks, Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, and eventual winner; The Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka. This followed that formula; Banks was the iron-woman, the Bella Twins provided the star-power, and Asuka was considered the favourite to win the match.

Which women will consist of the final four this year?

Let's find out.

#4 Charlotte Flair

The Queen

Charlotte Flair, 'The Nature Girl' is the daughter of the legendary, two-time WWE Hall of Famer, Ric Flair. She is wrestling royalty. Her lineage also meant that expectations were sky high. Incredibly, she has exceeded them. She is one of the most well-rounded performers on the roster. She must be certainly be considered one of the most athletically gifted wrestlers on the roster, irrespective of gender.

Charlotte Flair is arguably the most decorated superstar to compete in this match. She is a 7-time WWE Women's Champion. All of her WrestleMania appearances have been in Women's Championship matches. She has won two of those three matches, successfully defending her RAW Women's Championship against Sasha Banks and Bayley, and her Smackdown Women's Championship against the then-undefeated Asuka. In the only WrestleMania match she lost, she was last eliminated in a fatal 4-way elimination match.

She has been the sole survivor in a Survivor Series elimination match. Along with Sasha Banks, she was the first woman to main event a WWE main roster pay-per-view. Indeed, she was successful on that occasion, winning the first-ever women's Hell in a Cell match.

History has shown us that Charlotte Flair wins big matches. She is one of the biggest stars on the roster.

Of course, she is going to be in the final four in her Royal Rumble debut.

#3 Alexa Bliss

Little Miss Bliss

'The Goddess', Alexa Bliss, announced that she was competing in the 2019 women's Royal Rumble match this past week on Monday Night RAW. The announcement was rather unexpected, as Alexa Bliss has not competed for a while due to medical reasons. However, judging by the ovation her announcement received, most fans (including me), are very excited to see 'Five Feet of Fury' back in a WWE ring. This will be her Royal Rumble debut.

Alexa Bliss' WWE rise has been meteoric. She was called up from the WWE's developmental brand, NXT during the start of the brand split. There was absolutely no buzz about her.

Alexa Bliss has proven everybody wrong and is now one of the most recognizable superstars in all of the WWE. She is a five-time WWE Women's Champion. Both of her WrestleMania matches have seen her walk in as the reigning, defending champion. She also walked into the last two editions of WWE SummerSlam, the second biggest event of the year, as the reigning, defending champion. She won the first-ever women's Elimination Chamber match, retaining her RAW Women's Championship. She is a former Money in the Bank winner.

She has been a featured part of every show she has been on. She was given prominent storylines even when she could not compete. She has her own talk show, 'A Moment of Bliss'.

Alexa Bliss is one of the biggest superstars in the WWE's women's division. She will add a great deal of star-power as part of the final four. Moreover, she is making a comeback, and making it to the final four will only add to that story.

#2 Natalya

Ring General

Natalya may be considered a somewhat unconventional choice for the final four. A member of the legendary Hart family, Natalya has had a very good WWE career without it rising it to the level of her uncle's, the WWE Hall of Famer; Bret 'Hitman' Hart. She is a two time Women's Champion. The most impressive moment of her career so far was undoubtedly winning the Smackdown Women's Championship at SummerSlam in 2017.

This will be her second Royal Rumble match.

Natalya is considered one of the most technically proficient wrestlers in the entire WWE. She is so highly thought of that she has been the training partner for 'Rowdy' Ronda Rousey, both in kayfabe and in real life. Due to her wrestling expertise-it has been said that she can wrestle circles over most of the men and women in the WWE-she is a fine candidate to be the iron-woman of this match. Her wrestling ability, experience, and knowledge of in-ring psychology will be essential in holding the match together.

Moreover, she has had a prominent role on television as 'Rowdy' Ronda Rousey's best friend. Certainly, some of Rousey's popularity has transferred over to her.

Look for 'The Queen of Harts' to make it to the final four of this match.

#1 Becky Lynch

The lass-kicker

Becky Lynch is a two-time SmackDown Women's Champion. She was the first ever SmackDown Women's Champion, in addition to being SmackDown Live's first female draft pick. She won the first-ever WWE main roster Last Woman Standing match. Most importantly, she is arguably the hottest babyface in the entire company.

She is set to challenge Asuka for the SmackDown Women's Championship at the Royal Rumble, but most expect her to compete in the Royal Rumble match as well. This will be her second Royal Rumble appearance. Indeed, she started the first ever women's Royal Rumble match with Sasha Banks.

Becky Lynch must be considered a strong favourite to win this match. She is the most popular woman in the WWE. She fulfils every possible criterion for being in the final four.

And so, she will be in the final four.
