10. Get The Workers In Early

The women’s Royal Rumble will be well served by following the formula laid down in some past Rumbles. One of the strongest workers must start the match, ideally someone like Becky Lynch or Bayley. For the sake of the entry, let's go with the Lasskicker. Have Lynch start things off against an inexperienced foe like Mandy Rose, eliminating the newcomer fairly quickly.

Lynch should run though two or three similar opponents, say Lana, Liv Morgan and an NXT call-up or nostalgia entry, before the arrival of a few more established performers. The sooner that stars like Lynch, Bayley, Asuka and Natalya enter the match, the better.

If too many inexperienced performers are expected to carry the bout in the early stages, it could well fall apart. Becky Lynch is the perfect star around which to build the match, before things break down towards the end. If we get five minutes of Mandy Rose, Liv Morgan and Tamina to start things off, it could be a very long night.
