The 2018 Women's Royal Rumble meant a lot for the pioneers of female wrestling, including the Bella twins who steered the helm of women's wrestling in the WWE when it was perhaps at the lowest point at its history. Headlining the division and feuding with the likes of Eve Torres, and won her first Diva's title from Beth Phoenix, and losing it to Layla. She would later win it back from AJ Lee and lose it again to Charlotte.

Nikki would enter the 2018 Women's Royal Rumble as entrant 27, one before her twin sister Brie Bella. Nikki would eliminate Carmella, Nia Jax, Sasha Banks, and her sister Brie Bella making it to the final two of the Royal Rumble with Asuka. Nikki would manage to get Asuka out to the ring apron before Asuka pulled Nikki Bella to the apron as well and eliminated her.
