9 NXT Superstars who could enter the 2018 Women's Royal Rumble

#8 Abbey Laith

Abbey Laith was a big star on the independent scene

Credentials: The likes of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were seen as ‘independent darlings’ when they were signed by WWE. Although Abbey Laith, formerly known as Kimber Lee, is yet to be involved in an NXT storyline since the Mae Young Classic, she is the closest female performer WWE has to an ‘independent darling’.

Chances of Royal Rumble appearance: Laith has faced the likes of Ember Moon, Shayna Baszler and Nikki Cross at NXT live events recently and it seems only a matter of time before she features on NXT programming again. In front of a die-hard set of pro wrestling fans in Philadelphia, don’t be surprised if the former Indy star appears in the Rumble.
