The match, which WWE announced on Friday's episode of SmackDown, saw the two veteran performers battling for the right to enter the Rumble last, with 'The Queen of Hearts' scoring the vital pin-fall via roll-up to secure the final place in the bout.

Along with Tamina and Natalya, Liv Morgan, Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Bianca Belair, Ruby Riott, Mandy Rose, Dana Brooke, Peyton Royce, Shayna Baszler, Alexa Bliss, and Nia Jax will be involved in the match, with a further 17 entrants yet to be revealed.

Among those rumoured to be taking up those mystery spots are former Raw and SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch, former UFC and Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey, and former Women's Champion Trish Stratus.

Unlike the Men's side of the Rumble action, it's also not clear which stars will be entering the match first, leaving potential for a shocking return from the get-go.
