5 ways WWE can make history with the 2022 Women's Royal Rumble match

#3 A wrestler using the forbidden door could win the Women's Royal Rumble match

One of the most historic moments that will happen at the 2022 Royal Rumble will be the return of Mickie James. Mickie is a former WWE Superstar, but right now she is the reigning IMPACT Knockouts World Champion.

The company referenced her championship live on SmackDown when they announced her participation. As it stands, she is contracted to IMPACT Wrestling and not WWE.

Mickie spoke to Ariel Helwani about the upcoming appearance and how the deal came about:

"It was a few weeks ago and Scott (D'Amore) had called me first, (...) just to kind of see (...) if I was interested, (...) I think immediately, I was excited because historically this has never happened before (...) for WWE to do this or to have anyone participate in the Rumble, especially to acknowledge the [IMPACT] championship. (...) it just shows a different, I don't know, amount of respect. (...) I feel really great about it."

WWE could instantly make history by having a wrestler use the forbidden door to win a Women's Royal Rumble match.
