As of the time this article was published, 10 women had been announced to compete in this year’s Rumble.
Nia Jax, Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Naomi, Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Lyra Valkyria, Iyo Sky and Ivy Nile have all staked their claim for a spot in the match, but that still leaves 20 open spots.
WWE has plenty of women on the main roster who can fill those openings, but at least a few will likely be given to surprise returns, debuts and NXT Superstars.
Becky Lynch
Becky Lynch is one woman who is almost guaranteed to show up this weekend. She is back with WWE in an official capacity but has yet to make her on-screen return. This feels like the right time to set her up for a spot at WrestleMania, even if she is not the winner.
Jordynne Grace
While she has made several appearances in NXT and in last year’s Rumble, Jordynne Grace would also be counted among the surprise entrants because this would be her official debut as a WWE Superstar following her signing with the company.
Nikki Bella
A hot topic of discussion recently has been the possibility of Nikki Bella returning to WWE. If there was ever a time to do it, The Rumble would be the perfect spot. She has maintained her popularity since leaving the company and would likely be greeted with a warm reception when he music hit for her entrance.
NXT Superstars
The list of potential women in NXT who could show up is long because the division is currently stacked with talented performers both new and familiar.
Recent signees like Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer seem like obvious candidates, as do Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez. But there are also names like Kelani Jordan, Fallon Henley, Sol Ruca, Lash Legend, Jakara Jackson who are also possible entrants.
Other than the winner, we have a few other predictions to offer:
