The Men's Royal Rumble Match has been a staple of WWE for more than three decades. On the other hand, the Women's Royal Rumble Match is still in its infancy, as it debuted in 2018.

Over the years, some women have defied the odds and entered the Men's Royal Rumble Match. Chyna, Beth Phoenix, Kharma, and current WWE star Nia Jax are the only women in WWE history who have competed in the Men's Royal Rumble Match. Chyna made history by accomplishing this feat more than once.

The creation of the Women's Royal Rumble Match doesn't prohibit these competitors from entering the men's match. Jax's participation in the Men's Royal Rumble Match was only two years ago. It's certainly possible that fans could see more women compete in the bout this year.

With that being said, here's a look at the top five women who could enter the Men's Royal Rumble Match.


#5 Former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Shayna Baszler could compete in the Men's Royal Rumble Match

Shayna Baszler has been wasted on the main roster over the past year. During her time in NXT, she dominated the black-and-gold brand, and she proved that she was one of the toughest members of the roster. "The Submission Magician" isn't afraid of the men who currently occupy the locker room, so she could easily compete in the Men's Royal Rumble Match.

Baszler and Nia Jax aren't the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions anymore. So the Royal Rumble Match would be the perfect way to prove that Baszler is still a dominant competitor.

"The Queen of Spades" has plenty of impactful moves that could take down many of the male members of the locker room. She could make WWE history if she eliminates multiple men in the match. The bout could also help Baszler force her way back into the title picture on WWE RAW.

Baszler could choose the Royal Rumble as her opportunity to remind everyone that she is unstoppable. Even if she doesn't win either Rumble Match, the former NXT Women's Champion could use an impressive performance to start the Road to WrestleMania on a strong note.

#4 Former WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax could make her second appearance in a Men's Royal Rumble Match

Nia Jax made quite the impression in the Men's Royal Rumble match in 2019. She clashed with Rey Mysterio before she eliminated Mustafa Ali. Randy Orton then dropped Jax with a shocking RKO then took quite the RKO from Randy Orton before "The Master of the 619" eliminated her.

That night, Jax proved that she has what it takes to step in the ring with some of the best male competitors in WWE. In 2021, she could once again enter the Men's Royal Rumble Match. This time, she could aim to make an impressive impact.

The former WWE RAW Women's Champion has had a rough year from a storyline perspective. Her feud with Lana hasn't wowed many fans, so she could use a boost to kickstart her journey to WrestleMania. By competing in the Men's Royal Rumble Match, Jax could get her career back on track.

In theory, Jax could hold her own in a match with a male wrestler. WWE continues to avoid intergender wrestling, but the company could tease the fans by allowing Jax to compete in another Men's Royal Rumble Match.

#3 "The Nightmare" Rhea Ripley could debut in the Men's Royal Rumble Match

Rhea Ripley didn't compete in the Royal Rumble last year, but she competed at WrestleMania 36. There, she came up short against "The Queen" when her NXT Women's Championship was on the line. Rumors suggest that "The Nightmare" is will be called up to the main roster soon. In that case, Ripley could make her official debut on the main roster at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

Instead of debuting in the Women's Royal Rumble Match, Ripley could stun the fans and prove that she's a force to be reckoned with by entering the Men's Royal Rumble Match instead.

During her time on the black-and-gold brand, Ripley was built as one of the most dominant stars on WWE programming. She should have a bright future in WWE, regardless of the way WWE books her debut. Still, the WWE Universe is already aware of Ripley following her appearance at last year's WrestleMania. So WWE has to pull out all the stops for her debut.

Ripley could definitely make a surprising impact if she competes with the men at WWE Royal Rumble.

#2 Former WWE Women's Champion Becky Lynch could return in the Men's Royal Rumble Match

Becky Lynch has been missing from WWE programming since April 2020, but "The Man" could make her return at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

Lynch has already won the Women's Royal Rumble Match. As a result, it could be interesting to see the woman who calls herself "The Man" make an impactful appearance in the men's match.

Lynch gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Roux, in December. It's quite unlikely that the former WWE RAW Women's Champion will come back less than eight weeks later. But anything can happen in WWE.

Seth Rollins could return to the company at this show, and Lynch, his fiancé, could choose to make her return at the same time. "The Man" made a name for herself by blazing her own trail in WWE. She could opt to make history again by competing in the Men's Royal Rumble Match this year.

Lynch is loaded with star power, so she could definitely hold her own in the bout.

#1 Bianca Belair could believably enter the Men's Royal Rumble Match

Bianca Belair has already proven her worth in the Women's Royal Rumble match. She had a record-breaking performance in the bout last year. The former NXT star is a genuinely impressive athlete, and she constantly displays her remarkable athleticism.

"The EST of WWE" has recently showcased her skills on WWE SmackDown. It could be fascinating to see Belair step in the ring against some of the male members of the roster. Belair could easily pick up several of these wrestlers and eliminate them from the match. She might look to replicate her memorable run in the 2020 Women's Royal Rumble Match, where she eliminated eight competitors.

This year, Belair should have another breakout performance. Her athleticism is unparalleled, and the Men's Royal Rumble Match would let her show everyone that she's one of a kind. It could also be an interesting swerve if she competes in the match alongside her husband, Montez Ford.

The couple would be forced to either team up or turn on each other. If Belair competes in the men's match, the possibilities are endless.
