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

6. Roxanne Perez

Roxanne Perez hasn't had the easiest time of things on NXT of late, which is all the more difficult to understand after she got a substantially bigger pop than half the Royal Rumble field this time last year.

In terms of fan support and work, she left much of the main roster in the dust, but her eventual NXT Women's Championship reign fizzled, and she never earned a fair one-on-one opportunity to get it back. Setback after setback seemed to be foreshadowing the beginning of a heel turn, which is in keeping with WWE's historic philosophy of talents supposedly having all the tools before being "ready".

Perez was ready - whatever that even means in 2024 - long enough ago that this year's Rumble bow should be her formal debut.
