The beginning of a New Year in the WWE means that we will be gearing up for another edition of Royal Rumble. This year will mark the 32nd edition of the show on January 27th. The Chase Field Arena in Phoenix, Arizona will be the host of the show that has a capacity of hosting 60000 people. WWE will have to come up with bigger arrangements to sell out the crowd.

Two of the main events of the night will feature two separate Royal Rumble matches from the men and women’s division. WWE has declared ‘The winner of the massive melee will go on to challenge for a World Championship at WrestleMania 35.’ It means that anyone who wins the battle royal will have the opportunity to choose his/her opponent at the biggest event of the year.
Big surprise to happen with number 30 entrant at Royal Rumble
The fray for these two matches has already started to fill up. Drew McIntyre is the first name who declared his name at Royal Rumble 2019. The New Day also declared that each of them will enter the match, as well. On the other hand, women’s Royal Rumble match already had multiple names into it. Natalya declared during a backstage interview that she will enter the match to earn a championship opportunity at Wrestlemania.
Alongside her, Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Ember Moon also declared their presence in the Royal Rumble match. The latter one will be entering into this prestigious match for the very first time. Just the original men’s Royal Rumble match, women will also have 30 spots to fill up. So there will be plenty more names to follow from the active roster. Furthermore, there should be some surprise appearances to give the crowd a delightful night.
Currently, the entrants’ list for women’s division Royal Rumble match stands as follows, (as per WWE.com)
Natalya
Bayley
Sasha Banks
Ember Moon
Ruby Riott
Sarah Logan
Liv Morgan
Carmella (earned the coveted No. 30 spot by winning WWE Mixed Match Challenge with R-Truth)
Speculations are already out about the potential winner of Royal Rumble 2019 women’s division match. These suggest that one of the names from Smackdown will eventually win the match. Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch are the favorites so that the due match against Ronda Rousey can take place at Wrestlemania 35.
