4 Things that must happen in the 2019 women's Royal Rumble match
The Royal Rumble pay-per-view is just days away and the card is stacked. This could possibly be one of the best WWE shows in recent history. The championship matches, on both the men's and women's sides, are all possible candidates to steal the show. However, the main attraction of this pay-per-view is obviously the Royal Rumble match. Only now, there are two of them.
Last year saw the first-ever all-women's Royal Rumble match. It was a collective success, with it being more of a celebration of women's wrestling and involving dozens of legends in the match. The roster has gotten bigger since then, with 23 of the spots already filled by the roster. There are quite a lot of possibilities on what could happen on Sunday and that makes for an interesting match.
A lot may depend on the outcomes of the two Women's Championship matches, as long as they are both on before the 30-woman bout. Becky Lynch challenges Asuka for the Smackdown Women's Championship, while Ronda Rousey defends the Raw championship against Sasha Banks. Whatever happens in these matches, a lot of drama is set to unfold at Chase Field.
WWE will need to book another successful Rumble and they have all the tools to do so. Here are four things that must happen in the 2019 women's Royal Rumble match.
#4 Naomi eliminates Mandy Rose in quick fashion
Mandy Rose has been a constant thorn in Naomi's side for over a month, with the former Absolution member using devious means to get one up over her rival at every turn. She even attempted to seduce Naomi's husband Jimmy Uso, in a questionable show-long angle. While it has its problems, this is a fine use for a character like Rose. Also, it has made the fans actually want to see her get her comeuppance at the hands of Naomi.
Their match on Smackdown this week was a disappointment, ending with the heel getting a cheap victory following interference from Sonya Deville. For an effective end to this story, Naomi must stand tall over Rose. After weeks of frustration, she should eliminate "God's Greatest Creation" from the Royal Rumble match, in record time. It would be impactful, to conclude this angle with an embarrassingly short run for Mandy Rose in the Rumble match, with Naomi getting a big elimination.
