WWE Women’s Royal Rumble 2025: Predicting All 30 Entrants

The retro aesthetic framing that recent Saturday Night's Main Event comeback was sensational. WWE went all in on the graphics, atmosphere and retro vibes. They even drafted in iconic WWF glory days announcer Jesse 'The Body' Ventura to yuk it up and go old school heel commentator on resident golden boy Cody Rhodes. It was wonderful.

It must continue into the Royal Rumble.

After all, this is another historic company event. Triple H might've leaned a little too heavily on the wrong nostalgic stuff during Raw's debut episode on Netflix, at least in some areas - Hulk Hogan's cameo segment to promote his new beer was drowned in boos from the live crowd, for example. So, it just goes to show that retro is fine if it's the retro WWE's audience wants.

Those folks jeering Hulk would surely pop for a retro-tastic intro to the Rumble PLE. We're talking over the top voiceover work naming some of the participants, and that 'so late-80s/early-90s it hurts' theme song some remember so fondly. Then, once the actual aesthetics are dealt with, Trips can get to work on the serious business.

The women's Rumble is serious business. Thrashing out who'll challenge Rhea Ripley or Tiffany Stratton come WrestleMania 41 is mega for WWE's writing staff. A whole host of full-time regulars will be in the 30-strong lineup come bell time, but Hunter and cronies could go hard on shock value and returns to make the women's match even bigger.

Here's every entrant guessed from #1-30 in order, including a prediction on the winner!

1. Chelsea Green

New Women's United States Champ and all-round irritating wee cow (deliberately!) Chelsea Green is the perfect wrestler to kick off this Rumble. Her facial expressions alone would sell it - Chels shouldn't be chuffed at all that she has to run through the entire field to get a crack at a major match come WrestleMania.

In fact, if anything, she should argue that her shiny new belt means she should be featured on the April spectacular anyway. "First ever", peeps. Come on now. Her #1 positioning can lead to a backstage strop in front of a sighing Nick Aldis on SmackDown soon. At the Rumble itself, Green has to thumb her nose towards fans laughing at her misfortune.

Then, things can start to look a little rosier for Chelsea once #2 pops along to theoretically help her get as deep as possible in the match.

2. Piper Niven

Isn't it funny how things work out with these matches? This would be the finest tag-team clash in a Rumble since Demolition back in 1989. OK, maybe not, because Chelsea and Piper Niven wouldn't actually come to blows. Instead, they'd treat everyone to yet another celebration of Green's US Title win, and generally kill time until #3 emerged.

Niven's main task in the women's Rumble would be trying to make Chelsea the next coming of Ric Flair back in 1992. In other words, the kind of wrestler who can last the distance. Actually, Flair entered third that year, so Green would actually be bettering the 'Nature Boy'. What a gal.

Enough silliness. Things would get serious real fast once the countdown began and people in Indianapolis lost their minds over who's up next.
