3. Shayna Baszler
“The Queen of Spades” Shayna Baszler competed in the 2020 women’s Royal Rumble match for the first time in her career, and it was one of the best debut performances in a women’s Royal Rumble match. Baszler wreaked havoc as soon as she entered the match. Baszler wasted no time in eliminating Xia Li, Tegan Nox, Zelina Vega, and Shotzi Blackheart.
Carmella, Toni Storm, Naomi, and WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix also felt the wrath of Baszler. The Queen of Spades’ eight eliminations was a joint record that she achieved on the same night as Bianca Belair, which stood for five years until Nia Jax broke it in 2025.
However, despite Baszler’s short four-minute and 27-second cameo, it wasn’t enough to win the Rumble. She should’ve won the Rumble, but Charlotte Flair brought an end to her dominance to win her first women’s Royal Rumble match.
