6. Riott Squad’s Smart Strategy

As underhanded tactics go, you’ve got to give a gold medal to the Riott Squad.

Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan got tossed earlier in the Royal Rumble, so when Ruby Riott entered at #21, there was no opportunity for the trio to team up on opponents.

Or was there?

Morgan and Logan stayed on the outside and pulled women under the ropes, pummeled them, then tossed them back into the ring for Ruby to eliminate. They used this technique on Alicia Fox, Candice LeRae and Dana Brooke (though Brooke wasn’t eliminated).

Things went well until they attacked Kairi Sane (whom Riott had tossed), and Io Shirai stormed the ring to help out her friend, taking out Morgan and Logan with a moonsault off to the floor. Still, a nice effort from the trio.
