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

29. Mickie James

Mickie James was a joy to behold in the 2022 Royal Rumble, returning to WWE as she did for one night only as Impact Wrestling Women's Champion.

That was a case of her kicking down a forbidden door of a different kind, but it appears there'd be a less controversial admin to sift through this time around. James is available, and away from the nudge nudge-wink wink relationship with the SmackDown General Manager, she's typically been a fabulous utility player in any full-time role.

The Rumble wouldn't need to open that backup, but the company would be wise to send her gear back in something nicer than a bin bag if they insisted on not keeping her around.
