One of the most exciting times in WWE is just around the corner. They are all set to host the WWE Royal Rumble 2025 PLE, which will be the 38th instalment in the show’s history. The show will take place on February 1st, 2025, at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, marking the first Royal Rumble not to take place in January.
Since 2018, along with the Men’s Royal Rumble match, WWE has also started to host the Women’s Royal Rumble match which has been won by the likes of Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, and many more. Moreover, WWE has already begun to create buzz for the WWE Royal Rumble 2025.
One thing that makes Royal Rumble more special than any other WWE PLE is the surprise elements, and entrants factored in Rumble matches. Let us take a look at some surprise entrants in the Women’s Royal Rumble match at the WWE Royal Rumble 2025 event:
1. Trish Stratus
There’s never a dull moment when you witness someone like the WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. Arguably one of the greatest WWE Women’s Champions of all time, Trish has only participated in one Royal Rumble match, and she could make history again by returning to the WWE Royal Rumble 2025.
Trish Stratus showed the world that she could still go in the ring, and put on incredible matches with the talent of the modern era in her extended run in 2023, where she feuded with Becky Lynch. A return at Royal Rumble 2025 to compete in the Women’s Royal Rumble could not be ruled for the 7-time WWE Women’s Champion, who can mix it up with the new generation of performers.
2. Layla
Former WWE Women’s Champion and WWE Divas Champion Layla has not been seen on WWE television programming since retiring from the ring in 2015. WWE fans have been anticipating her return for a long time, and WWE Royal Rumble 2025 could be the perfect time for her to make an emotional comeback to the WWE.
Layla has mentioned several times recently in her interviews that she would love to return to the WWE in the Women’s Royal Rumble match. A return at WWE Royal Rumble 2025, along with her Flawless tag team partner Michelle McCool, is a huge possibility in this year’s Women’s Royal Rumble match.
3. Nikki Bella
The longest reigning WWE Divas Champion of all time, Nikki Bella, might return to the WWE ring after a gap of three years in the Women’s Rumble match at WWE Royal Rumble 2025. The Fearless One is one of the most popular female wrestlers of all time, and a return from her will rejuvenate the members of The Bella Army.
Nikki Bella returned to the WWE screens after several years on WWE RAW’s debut on Netflix, sparking rumours of a comeback for the former WWE Divas Champion. Furthermore, in an interview after the show, Nikki hinted at returning to the ring, which could finally happen at WWE Royal Rumble 2025.
4. AJ Lee
One of the most anticipated returns that WWE Universe has patiently been waiting for is the return of the former WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee. She has not been seen on the WWE screen since her retirement in 2015. Returning to the WWE after a decade would definitely register one of the loudest pops of all time from the WWE Universe.
AJ Lee, the former record-setting three-time WWE Divas Champion, is one of the most popular female superstars the WWE has ever witnessed. Her impact on WWE and the Women’s division is still discussed today, and a return to the Women’s Royal Rumble match to set up a WrestleMania program could not be ruled out.
