Alicia Fox Asuka Bayley Dana Brooke Mickie James Nia Jax Sasha Banks Becky Lynch Carmella Lana Naomi Natalya Tamina That's only 13 women on the active roster, one of whom being Lana who seldom wrestles. Paige's return and the 5 call ups bring it up to 19. You could have Nikki Bella or Lita or somebody else in that 20th spot. I'm not saying I'm all that interested in a women's Rumble, but I could see it happening and these moves could be a prelude for it. Personally I'd say the match would lose a bit of steam since there's a 100% chance Asuka would win so it would have an air of predictability over it, but still. |

I dunno.... Asuka could lose a Royal Rumble and still not be pinned or submitted.

Nah, I don't think they'd play that game with her. They could've had her get eliminated on Sunday via fuckery like what they did with Nia, but I think they actually want her to WIN every match.
Besides, she's clearly gonna be in the title picture come Mania especially if all of the Horsewomen are busy with the MMA Horsewomen. |

Were definitely getting a 20 woman Royal Rumble match. No other reason to add 6 women now. I count 21 including the 2 champions.

They have more if you include NXT and Mae Youngers. 30 is doable.

20 will only take about 1/2 hour I can't see them investing 45 minutes into it for 30

House shows are pretty much non-canon unless a title change occurs. Also it was a tag team match and I can't get results on it if Eva pinned the other partner.

Eva Marie ended up tossing Asuka out to win a title shot. |

Easy to confuse them but the winner of that battle royal was the Princess of Staten Island, Carmella. Battle Royals don't count in records.

You are right now that I think about it. I think I got confused because Eva Marie still ended up getting a title shot somehow.

Pretty dumb that they put three women together that have nothing in common and no apparent reason to team up, on both shows, no less.
Was actually looking forward to a few of them developing more in NXT. |

I think it would have a certain interest edge over a male Rumble, since they've never done it before and you know they have to go elsewhere for talent. That being said, I think two Rumbles on one show is a bit much. Just let them have their own way of developing contenders, or do a Women's Rumble at a different time of the year. |

Agree, and if they needed to bring some up it would be cool if they paired Riot and another dark haired girl with Paige to at least have a little goth stable.

• As someone who doesn't watch NXT, all the call-ups are new to me, but I'm "meh" towards them at the moment but as they've just debuted, I'm obviously going to give them time to grow on me. Or at least try to grow on me.
However, watching three women, one white as a sheet, one blonde and a brawling brunette attacking women backstage and in the ring, just reminded me of last night when I watched three women, one white as a sheet, one blonde and a brawling brunette attack women backstage and in the ring, But seriously, it's quite obvious that the Raw trio and the SmackDown trio are all going to meet and then have a match against each other. They'll meet at Royal Rumble and then face each other at WrestleMania. Something like that. • I like The Bludgeon Brothers. Good music, good entrance, good attire, it's all good. I just hope they don't go the way of The Ascension and end up being a comedy duo by this time next year. |

I also made the mistake of looking up Sarah Logan and I found out that she's 24 and it just bummed me out and made me feel old.
So I'm going to avoid looking up Liv Morgan, , |

I saw Mad Man Pondo at a Wendy's in Peoria after a Gathering of the Juggalos once. Sarah Logan was probably around ten years old at the time. I wonder if they knew each other yet?

Really think that these NXT call ips are kind of odd. Paige's group should have Riot and Logan with her in my opinion. Many Rose and Liv Morgan just don't look like they fit in those groups. Don't know the other girl.

I think the idea is that the blonde rookies get to blend in with the girls who can wrestle a bit better. I can't even remember, legit, who the third person in Paige's group is.

Kind of feels like female Nexus type deal if they're connected.
