BOOM! Bow down to 'The Queen'. Y'know, if you fancy it.

Last year's winner isn't best-placed to repeat the trick in 2026, but that doesn't necessarily mean Charlotte Flair can't play a pivotal role in the women's Rumble. Booking her vs. Becky Lynch would be one hell of a way to jumpstart the match and have people glued to their seats/screens from the off.

These former friends turned enemies have a ton of history to get through. They haven't always seen eye to eye in front of the cameras or behind the curtain, which is precisely what Michael Cole would harp on about from the commentary desk.

You can probably bank on both Becks and Charlotte working a fair chunk of the Rumble this year. They'll keep things interesting even when the roster starts to thin a little here or there.
