Charlotte on Not Being Able to Participate in First Ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match

WWE Smackdown Women’s Champion Charlotte was interviewed by Planeta Wrestling where she spoke about not being able to participate in the first ever women’s Royal Rumble match and who she would like to see from NXT compete in the match.

On ‘Raw‘ this past week, Stephanie McMahon revealed that for the first time ever the women would be competing in a Royal Rumble match.

Charlotte spoke about wanting to be in the match but not having the opportunity to do so as she is already Champion:

“I’m very torn. My competitive nature wants to be a part of this first-ever Royal Rumble match, this historic moment. But I do know that I am a part of the evolution that got us to where we are today in making the first ever Royal Rumble match possible. But secondly, I am honored knowing that I’m still a part of this excitement in the field of the rumble match, knowing that who wins the Royal Rumble match will be facing me and going head to head at WrestleMania 34.”

As of right now, there is no confirmation as to how many participants the match will have. The main roster currently has 23 female superstars including both Bella Twins, Maria and Maryse who cannot compete at this time.

Charlotte was asked which NXT talents she would like to see in the match:

“I definitely am a huge fan of the Australians Peyton Royce and Billie Kay, I think they would be a great edition to the Royal Rumble match. I think Bianca Belair is an amazing, incredible athlete. I think her presence alone, when shed enter the royal rumble, would be amazing. Kairi Sane is another. And I know everyone’s rumors saying Shayna Baszler is a possibility. I know she’s one. I think all of those women would be great contestants. But again, anyone in NXT would do an incredible job and id like to see anyone step up and be part of the first ever women’s Royal Rumble match.”
