Lacey Evans feels like a no-brainer. WWE already announced her debut on the main roster is coming soon. She made backstage appearances on both Raw and SmackDown, and has been doing dark matches. Unlike Nikki Cross, she hasn’t had her in-ring debut yet. The Royal Rumble match would be a great way for to debut, especially if they’re planning a big push this year.
Alexa Bliss is a bit of a long shot. She has been out of action since Hell in a Cell last year. However, she said she would be back “pretty soon” when she spoke to Lillian Garcia earlier this month. That’s a vague update, but if she is cleared to wrestle, she would be a big surprise entrant. Alexa didn’t participate in the first women’s Royal Rumble or WWE Evolution, so if she can she won’t miss this opportunity.
As it stands, she is the only woman on the Raw roster who doesn’t have a match this weekend. Still, with all the other accolades under her belt she immediately becomes a threat to win the match.
