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

3. Natalya

Reliable, dependable, malleable.

These are the words always used to describe Natalya, and when they're not, it's a series of similar synonyms. It's not just a loyalty place either - more experienced wrestlers are given portions of the Royal Rumble match to control the traffic in there, and she falls into that category more than many of her peers.

She can't take up a kayfabe position of prominence, but as a foundational component in the architecture of the battle royal itself, expect her there for certain.
