5 Best Royal Rumbles ranked by surprise entrants

#2 2018 Royal Rumble (women)

The main event was the historic, first-ever all women Royal Rumble. The Philadelphia crowd was on edge awaiting all 30 women. As Stephanie McMahon made her way to do commentary, they were ready to make history. We all had the same things running through our head. Who would come out when? Who is coming back? Who will win? All of these questions got answered and some in a huge way.

We did not have to wait long for the first surprise as entry 5 brought of WWE Hall of Famer Lita. The former women's champion lasted close to 6 minutes before being eliminated by Beck Lynch.

Entries 9 and 12 saw Torrie Wilson and Molly Holly respectively make their return to WWE.

Entry 14 brought out former Divas Champion Michelle McCool. She looked like she had not lost a step in the ring. Lasting almost 9 minutes, she ended up leading the women in eliminations with 5.

When the buzzer sounded for the 16th entry, a screeching voice howled the arena. It was a voice they were all too familiar with and a phrase we have not heard in some time, "EXCUSE ME!" Vicki Guerrero made her way to the ring screaming, and the WWE Universe simultaneously reached to cover their ears. Thank god she was thrown out in about a minute.

The string of former champions continued followed by a string of Hall of Famer's. Former Divas Champion Kelly Kelly, former Women's Champion and WWE Hall of Famer Jacqueline and finally former Divas Champion and WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix. Ironically, this was the Glamazon's second rumble even though this was first women rumble.

Entries 27 and 28 saw the return of the Bella Twins to huge ovations. The E! reality stars made their presence felt with Nikki lasting 16 minutes and accumulating 4 eliminations. She was also one of the final two participants before being eliminated by eventual winner Asuka. Brie lasted 12 minutes before being eliminated by Nikki Bella of all people.

Now we come to the beloved 30th spot. As we all waited for the countdown to hit zero, we were all fretfull of who was coming out. As the music hit, the crowd went psychotic as Trish Stratus made her way to the ring. Possibly the greatest Women's Champion in WWE history, Trish would not let a historic moment for women go by without being a part of it. Her staredown with Mickie James was nostalgic for any fan and her showdown with Sasha Banks was stunning.

Finally, the biggest surprise of them all was someone who was making her debut in the world of wrestling. As Asuka was in the ring with Charlotte and Alexa Bliss, we were waiting on her decision who she would face at WrestleMania.

The music hit and out came Ronda Rousey to a thunderous ovation. Shock and pandemonium were sent through the WWE Universe as we could not believe what we were witnessing. A UFC Hall of Famer stepping out of the Octagon into the Squared Circle. She made herself known without even uttering a word and with one point at the WrestleMania sign.
