#3. Asuka wins the inaugural women Royal Rumble

Even though we mentioned it earlier, this one deserves its own entry.

Even though women like Karma and Beth Phoenix were a part of Royal Rumbles before, there never was a royal rumble exclusively for women. Thus the entire WWE universe chanted "YES" when Stephanie McMahon announced that the 2018 Royal Rumble would feature not one, but two Royal Rumbles - one each for the men and women. This move was essential to drive the women's revolution.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch began the proceedings and was soon joined by Sarah Logan and Mandy Rose. The crowd erupted when they saw WWE Hall of Famer Lita making a return at number 5. Many other ruthless aggression era women superstars also made a cameo during the event - the most notable being Trish Stratus and Michelle McCool.

However, it was Asuka who stood tall at the end after eliminating Nikki Bella to earn a right to challenge one of the women's champions at Wrestlemania. Even though the empress of tomorrow failed to clinch the Smackdown LIVE women's championship from Charlotte Flair at Wrestlemania, this one was an amazing moment nevertheless.
