WWE Royal Rumble 2024: 10 Things That Must Happen

10. The Women’s Rumble Opens

Some won't want to admit this, but the women's Rumble is defo less enticing than the men's version this year. There's a sense that the entire women's spectrum across Raw and SmackDown is just sort of sitting around waiting for something major to happen; Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY need dynamic challengers aplenty, but don't really have them.

Bayley is vowing success, but so are names like Becky Lynch and Nia Jax. That's fun, but something feels a little off about the female side of things in early-2024. Both major belts need a bit of oomph heading in to 'Mania or they'll just be lower card distractions and nothing else.

One of the Rumble bouts has to kick things off on Saturday though, and this writer's pick would be the women's match. That'll get fans onside straight away, and it'll let WWE put space between both titular bouts by bookending the card with them.

Makes sense.
