WWE Women's Royal Rumble 2023: Predicting All 30 Entrants

2. Rhea Ripley

The everything favourite.

The favourite to win the match based on some awesome booking of The Judgment Day that she's more than levelled up to.

The favourite of an audience that loved her all along but knew she'd floundered for far too long under Vince McMahon's clueless and reckless penmanship.

The favourite of just about everybody including Becky Lynch herself to lead the WWE women's division into the future.

And the favourite fantasy booked WrestleMania opponent for Bianca Belair since the two stared each other down on the November 7th edition of Monday Night Raw.

It feels inevitable, and that - post-Vince McMahon - feels awesome.
