One of WWE's rare dalliances with inter-gender action since the outlawing of almost all man-on-woman violence a decade earlier, Nia Jax's appearance in the 2019 Royal Rumble lit up a predictable and sagging battle royal with a series of spots that imbued the match with some much-needed chaos.

By all accounts (and one released-and-then-retracted match graphic), it was supposed to lead to more of the same too. Jax' showing here was designed to kick off a mini-series with the departing Dean Ambrose. That in turn stood every chance of morphing into something bigger before the plan was abandoned, but 'The Irresistible Force' was in excellent and funny form in this backdoor pilot.

The building exploded for the majority of the field having to team up to try and eliminate her, at very light justifying the spot if not the potential of the plan for more similar stuff. Ultimately, at least an awesome moment remained.
