WWE News: Updated Full Royal Rumble 2019 Match Card After WWE’s New Announcement
Jan 21, 2019 at 1:09 PM
Earlier today, WWE made a breaking announcement on Twitter. It states that starting from 12 ET, they will be declaring new names for the women’s Royal Rumble match after every 30 minutes. Since there was no such clarification, we thought that we might get to know about all the 30 entrants into this match.
Several names removed from Royal Rumble
Already we got confirmations about some of the names from WWE Raw and Smackdown Live to enter this match. This announcement on Twitter tended to hint the rest of the names who might compete in the women’s Royal Rumble. It has happened never before in the history of this prestigious battle royal that we got to know the entire lineup prior to the match.
Superstars to get unique entrances at Rumble
This drew ire of the WWE Universe as they reacted in a negative way on the social media. Going forward, the Twitter handle of the WWE revealed just a few names for the women’s Royal Rumble and not the full lineup. Thankfully, it did leave big surprises for us on January 27th where the show airs live from the Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona.
Meanwhile, here are the new additions to the women’s Royal Rumble matchup,
“Charlotte Flair, Naomi, Tamina, Peyton Royce, Billie Kay, Dana Brooke, Lana, Nia Jax, and Nikki Cross.”

Previously, names like Natalya and Ember Moon declared themselves for this match which hands over a Wrestlemania opportunity. Also, Carmella was able to insert herself into the match at the #30 spot. She won the Mixed Match Challenge with R-Truth to secure the spot. Currently, almost half of the lineup of the women’s Royal Rumble has been revealed.
