WWE Royal Rumble 2019: Predicting The 10 Biggest Spots
9. Alicia Fox Enters The Hall Of Shame
Vickie Guerrero partook in the inaugural women's Royal Rumble's shortest run, lasting just 57 seconds before Michelle McCool, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, and Ruby Riott ganged up to eliminate her.
Though her comeuppance was earned, her spell in the ring makes the men's record look Herculean. The Warlord, Owen Hart, Mo, and Sheamus have all clocked times between two and three seconds, but Santino Marella's 1.9 (2009) remains undefeated, and getting eliminate any quicker than that might be physically impossible.
That WWE didn't go for such a spot in the first women's Rumble is understandable. It was designed to be a celebration of the division's past, present, and future, and such an embarrassment may have drawn criticism for being unnecessarily mean. There was no such concerns in 2019. The historic FIRST TIME EVER bout is out of the way, and it's time to Santino somebody.
Alicia Fox is the best woman for the job. Last year, WhatCulture's Adam Clery fantasy booked her sliding in, marching across the ring with such zeal that she'd run right into another wrestler's low bridge. Out goes Foxy, and the new record is established. Sounds perfect...
