WWE Royal Rumble will be the second pay-per-view event of the company in the year 2022. For the first time in a long time, the Rumble will not kick off the yearly PPV calendar of the Vince McMahon-owned wrestling promotion. The year will begin with a new PPV titled WWE Day 1.
Speaking of Day 1, Becky Lynch will defend her RAW Women’s Championship against Liv Morgan at the pay-per-view. Meanwhile, Charlotte Flair is likely to defend her Smackdown Women’s Championship against Toni Storm. The women’s champions will have their eyes on the Rumble, the winner of the women’s Royal Rumble will go on to challenge them at WrestleMania 37 for the title. Here are the top five picks to win the women’s WWE Royal Rumble 2022.
1. Paige could win WWE Royal Rumble 2022
Paige has retired from WWE’s in-ring competition, but she is still contracted with the company. While WWE have released so many talents over the last few months, they have retained Paige, meaning they have a big plan in store for her. If she is cleared to return from her injury, it should not be a surprise if Paige wins the Rumble.
2. Bianca Belair could win WWE Royal Rumble 2022
Bianca Belair could become the first female star to win the WWE Royal Rumble twice. She has a history with Becky Lynch. Perhaps, WWE could book a dream match between the only two women to win the WrestleMania main event.
3. Sasha Banks
Sasha Banks has competed with Charlotte Flair on many occasions, but they have never had a singles match at WrestleMania. Banks seems the number one contender from the SmackDown women’s division to win the Rumble and headline WrestleMania 37.
4. Liv Morgan
Liv Morgan has become one of the most popular WWE stars in recent times. Her popularity could force WWE to book her to win the 30-woman match and finally dethrone Becky Lynch as the RAW Women’s Champion at ‘Mania.
5. Ronda Rousey could win Royal Rumble 2022
If WWE wants to take everyone back at the Royal Rumble, they could book Ronda Rousey to make her shocking return at #30 and win the match to headline WrestleMania 37 with Becky Lynch or Charlotte Flair again.
