Victoria makes her long-awaited Royal Rumble appearance

by

WWE legend Victoria finally makes her appearance in the Royal Rumble match. She entered this year’s match at the number 10 spot and if only there was a live crowd to enjoy this moment.

Victoria is a former two-time WWE Women’s Champion and is a pure veteran in the industry. After WWE she went to TNA where she became a five-time Knockouts Champion and held the Knockouts Tag Team Championship with Brooke Tessmacher. She wrestled her last match in 2019 and retired from in-ring competition after nearly 20 years in the business.

Victoria has always been a fan favorite and has been one that people have wanted to see in a Rumble since the first women’s match in 2018. In that original women’s Royal Rumble match, many legends and Hall of Famers returned to fill the 30 spots. Victoria not being one of them certainly rubbed fans the wrong way.

By entering in at the number 10 spot, she stormed the ring and took down many of the stars of today that were currently dominating the match. These included Bayley, Naomi, and Ruby Riott. She was eventually eliminated by Shayna Baszler.

This tweet below shows what Victoria feels about finally having her moment. All smiles.

Victoria joined some other surprising entries. Jillian Hall, Torrie Wilson, and Alicia Fox were others to join her in returning to the ring. Fox wins and then loses the 24/7 Championship during the match. NXT entries included Shotzi Blackheart, Toni Storm, Santana Garrett, Rhea Ripley, Dakota Kai, and Ember Moon.

Charlotte Flair to decide her WrestleMania opponent on RAW

by

Charlotte Flair has won the Royal Rumble, so now it is time to decide who she will face at WrestleMania. WrestleMania in Tampa, Fla. may still be a couple months away but the road starts now. Based off of the current champions we could see a match that we have seen numerous times before.

Currently, after their successful victories over the weekend, Becky Lynch is still the RAW Women’s Champion and Bayley is still the SmackDown Women’s Champion. Flair has battled with and alongside of Lynch for the past several years. They, along with Ronda Rousey, were the first women to main event WrestleMania last year.

Flair was interviewed in a WWE Exclusive after her win. She had the following to say about her potential opponents:

“Since Bayley can only beat me when I’m unconscious, everyone remembers Money in the Bank. If I was Becky, I’d be scared.”

Flair would further state that we will find out who she will be facing on this week’s RAW. WWE has just confirmed this on Twitter.

There is a third option that hasn’t been considered before and that is the NXT Championship. If WWE wanted to provide something fresh, she could challenge Rhea Ripley. NXT has been seen as a third brand ever since their debut on the USA Network at the end of September.

After Lynch took care of her final debt in that of Asuka, she was also asked about Flair’s win in the Rumble. She had the following to say:

“Does it make me nervous? I’ve beaten that woman all across the world for nearly two years straight. If she wants to challenge me, I’ll happily beat her again. If the world wants to see Charlotte Flair versus Becky Lynch round 387, they still know the outcome. Still The Man. Still the champ. Tonight proved that. Asuka was my biggest challenge and I proved that I am the greatest of all time.”

We shall find out who Flair picks soon enough. What match would you like to see happen at WrestleMania? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
