(1) WOMEN’S ROYAL RUMBLE
(1) Iyo Sky
(2) Liv Morgan
As Iyo came out, Barrett said he was afraid he had some bad news for her and called her the unluckiest women in WWE. McAfee was more optimistic, saying she could go on a run. The bell rang 13 minutes into the hour. Sky dazzled with early offense including some flips to celebrate. As she played to the crowd, Cole said she wants the championship back. Liv nearly eliminated her, but Sky hung on and then springboarded back into the ring. Liv ducked and went for Oblivion, but Sky blocked that and nearly eliminated Liv.
(3) Roxanne Perez
Perez got to shine here as the announcers talked about her background.
(4) Lyra Valkyria
Lyra’s top strap broke early. She had to try to refasten it as she threw Sky. Liv then attacked her. She had help getting it fixed from a ringside attendant. Fans cheered when she returned to action.
(5) Chelsea Green
(6) B-Fab
(7) Ivy Nile
Fans chanted “You suck!” to the beat of Nile’s music. Nile delivered a double German suplex on Green and Perez. Liv and Sky worked together to try to eliminate B-Fab.
(8) Zoey Stark
(9) Lash Legend
ELIMINATION #1: B-Fab (via Chelsea)
Chelsea was delighted herself. WWE has an info bar at the bottom of the screen with notes on how many were active, how many were eliminated, and facts on wrestlers as they make their entrance.
(10) Bianca Belair
Belair got in a flurry of offense, including punching away at a stack of wrestlers in the corner. She then delivered a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on Liv when she charged. She then suplexed Lash Legend, kipped up, and danced a bit. She presssed Iyo and tried to drop her to the floor, but Iyo hung on to the top rope.
(11) Shayna Baszler
Cole said she is one of the most prolific wrestlers in WWE history including being tied for the most eliminations in one Rumble at 8, tied with Bianca and Nia Jax.
ELIMINATION #2: Valkyria (via Stark). Stark signaled to Valkyria that she was coming after her title.
(12) Bayley
As Bayley came out, Cole listed Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, and Cody Rhodes as the only back-to-back Rumble winners, noting Bayley could join this list if she won.
(13) Sonya Deville
Cole noted all three members of Pure Fusion Collective are in the Rumble now. They worked together including against Belair. Legend tried to take them on, but they dropped her. Cole noted Chelsea was sitting in front of their announce table and resting. He asked if she was eliminated. She said she called a time out. (They really need a 30 second countout rule or something because it is just silly wrestlers can sit out extended periods and avoid elimination.)
(14) Maxxine Dupri
With everyone else down, PFC surrounded Maxxine. She looked worried, but then others popped up and went after PFC. Maxxine pulled her straps down and did a reverse caterpillar.
ELIMINATION #3: Nile (via Maxxine)

ELIMINATION #8: Legend (via Chelsea)
(17) Piper Niven
Chelsea begged Belair and Naomi not to go after her. She bowed out through the ropes to the ring apron, then asked Piper Niven to hurry up. It’s a long trip.

She splashed both Naomi and Belair at once and then landed a turning sidewalk slam on Bayley. She gave Iyo a uranage. Naomi nearly eliminated Chelsea, but she hung onto the top rope.

Grace then gave Niven a Death Valley Driver. Fans chanted “Holy shit!” Naomi and Graced hugged. Cole noted they have a history in TNA. Belair pulled them apart and looked upset. She tried to eliminate Grace, but she landed on the ring apron. Belair and Naomi worked together against others.
(20) Michin

Bliss got the biggest pop yet. The graphic noted it was her first appearance sine January 2023 and it’s her fourth career Royal Rumble. Cole and McAfee said they thought she wasn’t coming back.

ELIMINATION #13 (Michin via Charlotte)

She squared off with Jax as soon as she entered the ring. Everyone else stood and surrounded Jax, who looked worried for the first time.
