At the end of 2019, Shayna Baszler had dropped the NXT Women's Championship to Rhea Ripley, and rumors were circulating that the star was going to debut on RAW. The predictions came true, and Baszler entered 2020 with a bang, making her debut during the Women's Royal Rumble match.

Baszler entered the match in the coveted No. 30 slot, giving her the advantage over her competitors, some who had been in the ring for up to 20 minutes at that point.

Upon entering the rumble, The Queen of Spades struck fear into her competitors, easily eliminating eight other women in quick succession. Baszler tied with Bianca Belair for the record amount of eliminations in a Women's Rumble that night.

The final two remaining in the battle were Baszler, and multiple-time WWE Women's Champion Charlotte Flair. Although Baszler had put up a great fight, she was thrown over the ropes by Flair, shocking the crowd as she was one of the favorites to win the entire rumble.

However, despite not winning, Shayna Baszler put on a strong performance and still managed to earn a WrestleMania title shot later down the line.
