WWE Women's Royal Rumble 2024: Predicting All 30 Entrants

The most wonderful time of the year has arrived, but just who will get the big sign point in 2024?

There's been no bigger disappointment in WWE since Triple H took charge in 2022 than his booking of the women's division.

Seen as one of the first things he'd surely fix when he got into the hot seat, he has instead done just about the bare minimum while everything else in the organisation has soared to hitherto unseen highs. The management of Rhea Ripley's ascent to megastardom aside, weekly programmes are still predicated on the thinnest of premises, and even stories with good payoffs - Becky Lynch Vs Trish Stratus chief amongst them - are shlocky and dragged out before the bell finally rings.

Hope springs eternal though, and with the new year comes new opportunities. The big WrestleMania matches feel easier to spot, but with two titles and only one Rumble winner, that at least creates a minimum of two favourites. And that's ignoring the surprise debuts, returns and cameos that have become the norm in modern Rumbles.

A good night for the division on the first Premium Live Event of 2023 will be the biggest indicator yet that WWE and especially 'The Game' himself are prepared to fix what is evidently still quite broken. But just who will be at the front of the changes?

30. Jade Cargill

WWE have taken their time with Jade Cargill, even going as far as to scale back her presence on television following cameos across Raw, SmackDown and NXT after the announcement of her signing.

Triple H spoke about her continued development in a recent press scrum in what many perceived to be a thinly veiled shot at her development within AEW. True or not, she'd be a can't-miss in a match like the Rumble, even if she's then scaled back again until a significant WrestleMania match.
