WWE Royal Rumble 2021: Predicting The 10 Biggest Spots

One of the first to declare for the Women's Royal Rumble match, Bayley could also be considered one of the favourites for the battle royal. The former Hugger may have lost the SmackDown Women's Championship to Sasha Banks but don't expect her to be out of the top tier scene for too long. Currently embroiled in a feud with Bianca Belair, don't be surprised to see Angry Mum Bayley throw out the EST of SmackDown.

Actually, no, scrap that. Bayley is going to set a record in this year's Royal Rumble, and it is going to be one that she can complain about for weeks and weeks and weeks. Liv Morgan currently holds the record for the shortest time in a Women's Royal Rumble (eight seconds in 2019, for the record) but that is an extremely beatable record. WWE loves 'making history', and you can't expect eight seconds to hold that particularly dubious record for long.

By comparison, the men's Royal Rumble was just one year old when The Warlord was in and out in two seconds, and Bushwacker Luke came close to that record just two years later. Expect someone to set a new low bar for the women this year, and Bayley's character seems perfect for the spot.

This will look pretty dull when she wins, of course.
