#4 Winner: Becky Lynch
They actually did it. And it was great.
The "injury" to Lana gave away the possibility even more, but it was still pleasing to see Becky Lynch make the surprise appearance. Everything was set up perfectly for her entrance, too. Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax, her two enemies, were the dominant presence in the match, and Becky Lynch threw a curveball into that equation.
She eliminated Jax, got a leg injury to milk the drama to maximum extent, and then eliminated Charlotte Flair in gritty and gutsy fashion to become the second woman ever to win a Royal Rumble match.
Now the path to MetLife Stadium is clear. Becky Lynch will certainly meet Ronda Rousey. But after that loss to Asuka, is her confidence everything it was? That was the wrinkle Becky needed in her story, and she got it and the Rumble victory last night. Everything was done perfectly.
