Nia Jax made history at Royal Rumble 2019. Not in becoming the first woman to enter the men's Rumble - before we had separate contests, three other 'Divas' preceded her in that regard. Nor was she the first to score an elimination in doing so, the subtly sexist 'thrown out by a girl!' punchline being all the worse for the show's new-found equality.

No, Nia Jax made history in the most Nia Jax of ways: by being somewhat hopeless. Being hoyed from the men's version by Rey Mysterio wrote Nia's name in the record books as the only person to fail in the Rumble twice in one night. Considering she entered them at #29 and #30, that is really quite a poor showing.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
