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

24. Bayley

The bookies seem to like the idea of the Grand Slam Champion prepping her WrestleMania spot with a Royal Rumble win. It's not the wildest bet.

Increasingly pushed out of her own group of late, the 'Role Model' might have earned a storyline stay of execution for a non-kayfabe reason. Charlotte Flair's real-life injury looks to have put the blockers on an intoxicating Horsewomen/Damage CTRL bout pending the return of Bayley, Becky Lynch and Flair's all-important fourth.

Away from that dizzying speculation, WWE has done the work and put in place the right pieces for a Bayley/Iyo Sky should they fancy that on the 'Grandest Stage'. There are lots of reasons for Bayley to just fall short too, especially with her babyface turn looming ever near. The earlier she's in it, the more sympathy she'll have to carry through too.
