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

17. Vanessa Hudgens

Hey, if Drew f'n Carey can appear in the 2001 Rumble and Johnny Knoxville can get a damn WrestleMania match out of his 2022 cameo, then anything is possible. Clearly, Vanessa Hudgens would take some convincing to do this, and she'd have needed ample time to train and prepare even if she's only taking one bump and out.

However, the actress is a self-confessed fangirl for WWE's product and was recently in the house for Raw. Is it really too much of a stretch to think she could shock Hollywood types by pulling on some spandex to play pro wrestler for the night? Stranger things have happened. Much stranger. Hell, Michael Cole was in a Rumble!

Seeing Vanessa tremble at the sight of Nia Jax is giving Carey meeting Kane vibes.

18. Lash Legend

Like B-FAB, Lash Legend is another who benefitted from the three way format WWE leaned on during their Women's United States Title tournament late last year. She was actually the one who shone brightest during an otherwise pretty lame match vs. Michin and Piper Niven on the 29 November 2024 SmackDown.

So, not a wonderful in-ring exhibition, but definitely a nice experience for Lash to get at least 10 minutes in the ring on a main roster show. Continuing her development should be a backstage goal for Triple H and his team - that's why Legend has to bag a slot in the 30-woman Rumble and keep pressing on.

She'll be lost in the shuffle pronto, yes, but even just being there is a win for the NXT star.
