Throwback to the time when these fearless Women entered the men’s Royal Rumble Match

Ever since the Women’s Revolution, WWE has changed dramatically and has made huge strides. The Women’s Revolution was essential in elevating female wrestlers, and as a result, WWE’s image as a patriarchal corporation has been reversed.
In 2018, the women had their own Royal Rumble match, a Battle Royale at Wrestlemania, and their own pay-per-view, Evolution. And all of this has proven to be a huge success.

While the inaugural all-women Royal Rumble didn’t take place until 2018, it wasn’t the first time women competed in the much-loved Rumble match.

There have been instances at which some of these fearless women have dared to enter the Men’s Royal Rumble and have also succeeded in making a statement. Let’s have a look at the top 3 women in this list:

Women entering the Men’s Royal Rumble match

Beth Phoenix – 2010

Beth Phoenix entered the Rumble match at #6 in the year 2010. The Great Khali, #5 was beating down CM Punk and Phoenix unexpectedly approached and confronted Khali, willing to fight. Phoenix was picked up by Khali, who placed her on the aisle and motioned for her to go. Before being eliminated by CM Punk, Phoenix caught the giant, kissed him, and dragged him back far enough that he fell out of the ring.

Kharma – 2012

Royal rumble

Kharma was the third lady to enter the Men’s Royal Rumble battle in 2012, and she frightened everyone with her entrance music and ferocity. She is widely regarded as the most underappreciated female wrestler in WWE history, prompting her to leave the business and pursue a career in the freelance scene.
Kharma came in at #21 and shocked everyone by clotheslining Michael Cole. Dolph Ziggler eliminated her before she eliminated Hunico.

Nia Jax – 2019

Due to his victory in the Mixed-Event Challenge, a round-robin tournament of mixed-tag fights, R-Truth was assigned the #30 place in the men’s Royal Rumble match. He was surprised by an enraged Nia Jax, who was in a particularly vicious mood as she got eliminated by Becky earlier in the night in the Women’s rumble match. She entered the men’s Rumble and lasted  3 minutes and 11 seconds, and she knocked Mustafa Ali, the aspiring babyface, from the match.

It took three people’s collective forces to get rid of her. To remove her from the contest, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, and Dolph Ziggler had to use their closing blows, The RKO, The 619, and The Superkick, respectively.
