#6. Io Shirai
Another former NXT Women's Champion, Io Shirai could also make her WWE main roster debut in the Royal Rumble Match. She has simply been hanging out on NXT recently without too much purpose, with it seeming like the end of her time there.
Shirai's in-ring skills make her a can't miss Superstar. Hopefully, she is booked well upon her likely debut on RAW or SmackDown. WWE should begin on the right note and offer The Genius of the Sky a strong showing at the Royal Rumble. The fans would be pleased to see her.
Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
#5. Cora Jade can further bolster her young WWE career by entering the Royal Rumble
Right now, it seems like Cora Jade is being set up to be the female face of NXT 2.0 after Mandy Rose. She has already been a part of some big moments, like her win at WarGames. Jade might have another one if she enters the Royal Rumble Match.
The 20-year-old could hold her own in the 30-woman bout and gain a lot of fans in the process. Cora Jade has adopted aspects of AJ Lee and Paige's personas, which has helped make her a popular figure so far. She should get some more spotlight before eventually defeating Rose to win the NXT Women's title.
