First “Monday Night Raw” Woman Set for Royal Rumble

She’s come from tomorrow to win the Rumble. The end of last week’s episode of “Monday Night Raw” saw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon announcing the first every Women’s Royal, which is taking place at the pay per view of the same name. This immediately set off a string of questions, including who will be entering the match. As it turns out, we have an answer.

During tonight’s episode, Asuka became the first “Monday Night Raw” woman to officially enter the match. Asuka made the announcement during a segment with Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, who she then knocked out. She joins “Smackdown Live’s” Naomi as the only confirmed entrants in the match.

Here’s the showdown.

Opinion: This isn’t the biggest surprise in the world and there’s nothing wrong with that. Asuka is certainly one of the favorites to win the whole thing and it’s very easy to imagine her getting the big title shot at “Wrestlemania XXXIV”. There’s always the chance of a surprise, but at the moment Asuka is who I’d put my money on to win the match.

Do you think Asuka will win the Royal Rumble? If she doesn’t, who will? Let us know in the comments below.
