Twitter reacts to the announcement of the Women's Royal Rumble

It's safe to say that Paige will be part of the Royal Rumble

On the December 18, 2017, episode of WWE Raw, Stephanie McMahon interrupted a melee featuring all of Raw's female Superstars to announce the first ever Women's Royal Rumble.

This match has reportedly been in the works for several months and represents a massive leap for the WWE women who weren't treated as serious athletes even 3 years ago. Here's how Twitter reacted to one of the most monumental WWE announcements in recent memory:

There's NOTHING @WWE women cannot do. It's been a long-time coming - can't wait for the FIRST EVER WOMENS #RoyalRumble! Now…where dem boots?

I, for one, look forward to the creative team who booked the same exact women’s angle on both brands 2 nights in a row to try to do two Royal Rumble matches on one show without a hint of monotony or repetition. #RAW
