5 Potential surprise entrants in the 2021 WWE Women's Royal Rumble

#3. Former WWE Women's Champion Beth Phoenix

Beth Phoenix is currently a member of the WWE roster as a broadcaster on NXT. She's thriving in this role, but the former Women's Champion is in good shape. So she could easily return to the ring, too.

Phoenix and Natalya challenged for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship just under two years ago at WrestleMania 35. It's not crazy to imagine that she'll wrestle again. Plus, she was on WWE RAW earlier this year.

Natalya hasn't been in a successful storyline for a long time. The WWE Women's Tag Team Champions are definitely lacking challengers right now. So reuniting The Divas of Doom could solve both problems. Natalya and Phoenix are a solid team, so they could add depth to what has been a lackluster division.

Phoenix and Natalya could reunite at the Royal Rumble next month. There, WWE could see what kind of shape Phoenix is currently in. From there, it's possible that Phoenix and Natalya could become legitimate contenders for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
