Royal Rumble
WWE.com posted the following post, hyping up the Women’s Royal Rumble match and Naomi’s entry into the match as the first official participant:
History will be made at the 30th Anniversary of the Royal Rumble when the WWE Universe witnesses the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match on Sunday, Jan. 28. And now, Naomi has become the first SmackDown LIVE Superstar to throw her hat in the ring for the history-making contest.
It was truly an emotional moment on the Dec. 18 edition of Monday Night Raw when Commissioner Stephanie McMahonmade the monumental announcement, declaring that female WWE Superstars will compete for a championship opportunity at WrestleMania 34.
Then, the following night on the blue brand, former SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi seized the moment. Interrupting reigning titleholder Charlotte Flair, Naomi made it clear that she is joining the ground-breaking showdown and, when she wins, she is coming after The Queen at The Showcase of the Immortals.
The much-anticipated contest could not be coming at a more pivotal moment for the ground-breaking women of each brand. In addition to the elite competitors who continue to make the Women’s Evolution the cutting-edge phenomenon that it is, the main roster has experienced an influx of talented new Superstars over the past several months, including Raw’s undefeated Asuka, the returning Paige and her destructive Absolution cohorts, as well as SmackDown LIVE’s Riott Squad. This surge of talent will undoubtedly help make the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble a can’t-miss contest.
Will Naomi reign supreme in the historical contest? Who will be the next Superstar to seize the moment for a chance to book a ticket to WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans in the monumental bout? Find out when the women of Raw and SmackDown LIVE make history at the Royal Rumble, streaming live on WWE Network on Sunday, Jan. 28!
