13 Ups And 16 Downs From WWE Royal Rumble 2019
7. Jax Plays With The Boy
This is so confusing on so many levels.
The last time a woman entered the men’s Royal Rumble match was Kharma in 2012. During that occasion, no one hit Kharma – she was dumped over the top to end her night.
Sunday, Nia Jax beat up R-Truth to take his spot at #30, herself having been eliminated from the women’s Rumble after being in the final three. She entered the men’s Rumble and beat up Andrade, Dolph Ziggler and Rey Mysterio. No, seriously. The woman who tapped out to 100-pound Sasha Banks three weeks ago was tossing the men around Sunday night.
And then, it got weird, as she tossed Mustafa Ali (sure, why not?) and then everyone ganged up on her, with Ziggler hitting a superkick, Rey a 619, and Randy Orton an RKO. That is probably the first deliberate male-on-female violence we’ve seen in a decade.
So again, women half (or less than half) the size of Nia can topple her, but it takes three men to knock her out of the Rumble.
