Ranking the chances of 7 WWE Women most favored to win the Royal Rumble this year

#3. Sasha Banks is ready to rumble in WWE

Before the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, Sasha Banks was not even predicted to be in the Women's Royal Rumble.

Earlier this month, an official update stated that The Legit Boss would likely be out of action for six to eight weeks when she suffered a foot injury.

While this drastically reduced Banks' chances of entering the 30-woman bout at first, she surprisingly returned on SmackDown prior to the premium live event. Now a confirmed Rumble entrant, the former champion has enough experience to win the whole thing and main event WrestleMania again.

Last year, she headlined The Show of Shows with Bianca Belair and could do the same with Charlotte Flair in 2022. Not only do the two women have a significant history with each other, but Banks vs. Flair was reportedly the original plan for WrestleMania 38 as well.

The only thing holding The Legit Boss back from winning the Rumble would be the obviousness of it all. WWE higher-ups may prefer a surprise entrant to emerge victoriously, such as the following two entries in this list.
