5. Becky Lynch
Becky Lynch didn’t intend to compete in the 2019 women’s Royal Rumble match. The Man challenged Asuka for the SmackDown Women’s Championship in the curtain-raiser, but she failed to regain the title. However, Lynch, desperate to get back into the title picture, figured it out by replacing Lana, who was unable to compete after being attacked by Nia Jax. Lynch, licking her lips, wasn’t going to let this opportunity pass her by.
The Man eliminated the woman who broke her nose, Nia Jax, from the Rumble. Lynch and her former best friend, Charlotte Flair, were the final two competing to book their spot in the main event of WrestleMania 35.
The Queen was bidding to win the Rumble at the first attempt, as she was the SmackDown Women’s Champion in the previous year’s edition. Nevertheless, Lynch turned a night from major disappointment into joy by outlasting Flair to win the Rumble.
