It is hard to believe that the end of 2023 is just a few weeks away, which means that the Royal Rumble is quickly approaching. 30 women will once again vye to become the Royal Rumble winner and head to WrestleMania to face a champion of their choosing. Believe it or not, this will be the seventh women’s Rumble.
So who will join Asuka, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Ronda Rousey, and Rhea Ripley as Royal Rumble winner? Let’s go over five women who should win the 2024 Royal Rumble match. These are in no particular order.
Bayley
Normally I would never want a winner of the Royal Rumble to be someone who can easily be booked in a WrestleMani match, but Bayley is different. She doesn’t easily get booked at WrestleMania, especially in a singles match.
In addition to her prior booking issues, ever since forming Damage CTRL, Bayley has been working on elevating other talent. With her likely finding herself on the outs with the stable she started, 2024 should be her year to rise to the top. And if she were to win and challenge IYO SKY it makes sense story wise.
Nia Jax
Nia Jax is another name who can likely get on the Mania card. However, with her just coming back she needs to do more of the leg work. Arguably, Jax has been better received during this run and is looking to use that momentum to become champion. Even tho the “monster heel” winning a Rumble generally doesn’t provide the best response and excitement, but with her return it may be just the right move.
Jax now feuding with a top star in Becky Lynch will continue to keep eyes on her until the Rumble.
Trish Stratus
This is probably the biggest long shot on this list, but who wouldn’t want a Royal Rumble win from a legend?
Of all the legends that have been in the Rumble match, thanks to Stratus’ recent run, makes her the only likely one to win it. She has been around the current roster enough that her taking on lets say Rhea Ripley would be a big possibility. Stratus being in another singles WrestleMania match would also be a fun watch especially if lets say Lita returned for some revenge.
Shayna Baszler
Much like Bayley, Baszler has had a similar past couple years with everything being about her opponents and less beyond her. Other than a few tag team championship reigns, Baszler hasn’t been what she was in NXT.
Baszler, up until just a couple weeks ago, continues to put over other talent, most recently Nia Jax. Baszler needs something like a Royal Rumble win to get her back on top.
Liv Morgan
Liv would be the one that would benefit the most from a Royal Rumble win. Being out of action for months, if they hold off her return until the Rumble then that would get a huge reaction. She also was the runner up of the 2023 match from the number two position, so we know she can go the distance.
Morgan is very over with the fan base and would need this win to propel her career further. And if she wins and goes on to face lets say Rhea Ripley, they have a history there. A history many fans would like to see taken to the next level.
