Unpredictable in the worst way imaginable, we only struggle to pick a winner for the - sigh - first-ever Women's WrestleMania Battle Royal because no women enter having - sigh - built momentum ahead of it.

The mistreated Bayley and Sasha Banks are embroiled in a programme of their own, one which could see a return of the old eliminated wrestler eliminates the eliminator spot used to build 'Mania matches in years past. WWE can neither build nor it would seem stomach good babyfaces, ruling out success for Becky Lynch. The Money In The Bank briefcase has long provided an excuse for WWE to do absolutely f*cking nothing with whomever holds it, ruling out Carmella also. Natalya exists to lose. The Riott Squad were built to build Charlotte for her singles match. There's always the danger that Mandy Rose will accidentally eliminate herself, something WWE will be wary off when selecting a victor. Neither Naomi nor Dana Brooke mix in celebrity circles, which won't lead to a Mojo Rawley-esque WTF win.

An NXT call-up could build momentum by having something to brag about when they turn up on the main roster - an angle perfectly suited to the Iconic Duo.
