WWE always brings their A-Game for the Royal Rumble. The kickoff for the road to WrestleMania 41 started with a bang at Lucas Oil Stadium, but only one woman would have the honor of pointing at the Mania sign at the end of the Womens Royal Rumble match. Charlotte Flair has now punched her ticket to WrestleMania 41, leaving only one big decision on who she will face at the showcase of the immortals.
With Tiffany Stratton as the top woman on SmackDown and Rhea Ripley holding the title on RAW, each Superstar in this match had a tough decision to make if they won. That being said, there were also several surprises and nobody could have guessed how it all turned out.
The announced entrants for the 2025 Womens Royal Rumble match as the show were Nia Jax, Bayley, Charlotte Flair, Naomi, Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Lyra Valkyria, Ivy Nile, Iyo Sky, Chelsea Green, Zelina Vega, Candice LeRae, and Piper Niven. Everyone wanted to rise to the occasion and win the 8th ever Womens Royal Rumble match.
The match this year started out with IYO Sky coming out first, with Liv Morgan drawing the second entry. Roxanne Perez made her third appearance in the 3rd spot. After that, WWE Womens Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria made her way out, which marked her first time in the Royal Rumble.
The fifth entrant in the match was WWE Womens United States Champion Chelsea Green. B-Fab drew the sixth spot in the match, and Ivy Nile came out as number seven. Zoey Stark of Pure Fusion Collective was the eighth entry in the contest.
Lash Legend from NXT came out next in the ninth spot. B-Fab was the first elimination of the night, thanks to Chelsea Green, who capitalized after Legend made B-Fab woozy.
Bianca Belair came out in the tenth spot of the match, and she received a big ovation from the fans in Indianapolis. Shayna Baszler of Pure Fusion Collective was the eleventh entry, giving Stark an advantage with her stablemate in the match. Then Bayley joined the match in the twelfth slot. Sonya Deville joined the match in the thirteenth spot, making Pure Fusion Collective whole in the contest, and they took full advantage of that.
Maxxine Dupri was number fourteen in the match, with Naomi coming in halfway at number fifteen. Jaida Parker came in the number sixteen spot, marking her first-ever Royal Rumble match. Then, Piper Niven entered the match in the seventeenth spot, which made Chelsea Green very happy.
Natalya made her way to the ring in the eighteen entry, keeping her streak of appearing in every Womens Royal Rumble match so far alive. Then Jorydnne Grace made her WWE debut in the nineteenth spot. Michin came out twentieth. Alexa Bliss came out next to blow the roof off the building with her long-awaited return.
Zelina Vega had the twenty-two spot in the match, and by that time the ring was filling up with twelve Superstars. Candice LeRae came out in the twenty-third spot.
Then, Stephanie Vaquer came out in the twenty-fourth spot. She received a massive pop in Indianapolis. Trish Stratus came out in the twenty-fifth spot, and that was a nice surprise to see the WWE Hall of Famer. Then, Raquel Rodriguez came out in the twenty-sixth spot, giving Liv Morgan some backup that shes been looking for.
Charlotte Flair finally made her entrance in the twenty-seventh spot. The Queen got right to work upon her return. Then NXT Womens Champion Giulia came in the twenty-eighth spot in the match. The twenty-ninth spot went to Nia Jax and Nikki Bella came out in the thirtieth entry.
The women then battled to see who would get eliminated next, with Nia Jax taking six women out of the match at the same time. The final six in the match were Nia Jax, Roxanne Perez, Nikki Bella, Charlotte Flair, Giulia, and Bayley.
In the end, the match went down to Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax and Roxanne Perez. Then Nia Jax was taken out, leaving only Charlotte Flair and Roxanne Perez. Then, Flair kicked Perez off the apron to win the match. This made Flair a two-time Womens Royal Rumble winner.
We will have to see how the Road to WrestleMania 41 shapes up for the womens division. We certainly have a big piece of the puzzle figured out at this point.
