Michael Cole and Wade Barrett are our announcers for the night. The Saudi announcers are at ringside, too. InshAllah, guys.
#1 is Charlotte Flair. I love the “ONLY 2-time Rumble winner.” #2 is Alexa Bliss, Flair’s own tag team partner. Flair does not seem happy. Are they waiting? No, they’re arguing. Flair attacks and stops. Sister Abigail, no. Figure-8, no, big cuddle.
#3 is Kiana James. She attacks both Flair and Bliss. Nice teamwork. #4 is Nia Jax. The Irresistible Force is on fire, Samoan drops agogo. James sends Jax shoulder-first into the ringpost. #5 is Ivy Nile.#6 is NXT’s Lola Vice. I thought she would not be here as she has an NXT Women’s North American Championship match on Tuesday. Everyone is trying to eliminate Nia Jax when #7 happens to be Candice LeRae. She appeared last night on SmackDown, so it’s not really a surprise.
No one has been eliminated yet, as the #8 is coming. It’s Jordyne Grace. This year, Grace is not coming as a TNA talent but as a WWE Superstar. The Juggernaut is explosive and eliminates Candice LeRae, Lola Vice, and Ivy Nile. Charlotte Flair eliminates both Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss! #9 is WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch. It’s personal between Flair and Lynch. The #10 is NXT’s Sol Ruca. She quiets every lady in the ring. #11 is Roxanne Perez.
Perez is seen as one of the favorites. After taking care of Sol Ruca, she slapped Becky Lynch. #12 is Maxxine Dupri. Becky Lynch attacks, and Dupri unleashes the spinning kicks on Perez and James. #13 is Nattie. She attacks Dupri immediately. Lynch Man-Handles Dupri, who is eliminated. Nattie eliminates Lynch as #14 is Liv Morgan. The three Amigos on Sol Ruca. Nice teamwork from Perez and Morgan on Grace. #15 is Lash Legend.
15 women made their entrances so far, 8 are still in the ring. Sol Ruca and Roxanne Perez attack Legend, but fail at making her fall. Jordynne Grace almost eliminates Legend. But Legend eliminates Grace!
#16 is Zelina Vega. Everyone tries to attack Vega, but no one can stop her. Lash Legend stops her. #17 is Raquel Rodriguez. The Judgement Day is complete. Charlotte Flair, who was the #1, is still in the ring. Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez eliminate Kiana James. #18 is Chelsea Green. She came with her Secret Hervice, Alba Fyre. Raquel Rodriguez eliminates Fyre, even if she was not officially in the match. #19 is Giulia. She struggles with making Raquel Rodriguez fall. The action is everywhere! Chelsea Green falls on Alba Fyre, who brings her to the stairs. #20 is Iyo Sky. Everyone seems to be afraid. Perez and Morgan eat a kick, so does Rodriguez.
#21 is Asuka. I love this woman… She is crazy and uber-talented. Twelve women are in the ring, as #22 is Rhea Ripley. Mami will clean the house. Chelsea Green begs for mercy as Giulia eliminates Zelina Vega. Ripley just flattens Green and eliminates her. Roxanne Perez is eliminated, too. As I said, Mami cleans the house…
#23 is Bayley. What did Sol Ruca just do? She avoided elimination, holding the ropes with her shoes! Charlotte Flair is and remains the first entrant, still in the ring. #24 is NXT’s Women’s Champion, Jacy Jayne. She unloads cannonballs, then targets Sol Ruca. Nattie and Rhea are striking hard. Liv Morgan eliminates Nattie. #25 is Nikki Bella. Why? She has better “seeing” her opponents, unlike in Paris. Twelve ladies in the ring. #26 is already coming, it’s Lyra Valkyria. No clue on who will be the last 4 four entrants. Charlotte Flair and Lash Legend are still in the ring. Bayley tries to push Giulia out, and she eliminates her.
The #27 is NXT’s Kelani Jordan. I saw it coming… The former TNA Knockouts World Champion is making a statement. #28 is Kairi Sane. Asuka will have a bit of help, as Michael Cole just said. 50 minutes in the match, 14 ladies still in the ring. Kairi Sane almost eliminated Asuka. SHE DID! Sane eliminated Asuka involuntarily. Iyo Sky also eliminates Kairi Sane.
#29 is for Brie Bella. Is it a joke? With all the fabulous women in the Raw, SmackDown, and NXT locker rooms, they have to bring Brie Bella… #30 is Tiffany Stratton. She was seen in Riyadh, and her participation was more than expected.
Everyone is in. We have 14 possible winners, including the #1 entrant, Charlotte Flair, who is attacking Stratton. Bayley and Lyra are working on the Bellas. The crowd is chanting, THIS IS AWESOME. If they want. Bayley and Valyria eliminated by the Bellas!
Jacy Jayne eliminates Kelani Jordan. Sol Snatcher on Jayne, Ruca eliminates Jayne! I may be wrong but Sol Ruca is the last NXT talent standing. Lash Legend eliminates the twins, thanks. CHARLOTTE ELIMINATED by LASH LEGEND! 59 minutes 50 seconds. Sky tries to eliminate Lash Legend, but Legend eliminates Sky. Five eliminations for Lash Legend.
It now goes to Lash Legend, Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, Sol Ruca, Tiffany Stratton, and Raquel Rodriguez. Lash and Raquel don’t hold back. Lash Legend seems indestructible. RIPLEY FINALLY ELIMINATES LEGEND. RODRIGUEZ ELIMINATES RHEA, LIV ELIMINATES RAQUEL. Liv, Tiffany, or Sol Ruca, who will be the winner? It’s a blonde issue, my father would have said.
Strattion takes care of Morgan and Ruca with a double SOL SNATCHER. GO SOL! All women are hanging on. On the apron, it’s becoming extremely dangerous. SOL RUCA AND TIFF STRATTION ELIMINATED. Liv Morgan wins.
Now, the big question is, will Liv Morgan target Stephanie Vaquer or Jade Cargill? I go for Vaquer.
Steph, for Stephanie, is not only eNYGMAtic, charismatic, but also “très chic.” Living in France, her birth country, she broke the language barrier to become a respected writer and interviewer on many wrestling promotions.
She has developed a very special bond with TNA Wrestling over time to the point of becoming an Authority on the company. The French Nygma, as she loves to call herself, has been a wrestling writer and editor for nearly a decade for SteelChair Magazine/Wrestling SC, TWM and Distortion Media. She has interviewed hundreds of wrestlers from WWE, MLW, TNA, NXT, AEW, and many more promotions.
The Nygma is now the new “Authority” on TNA Wrestling and NXT for Last Word on Pro Wrestling. The writer/editor also runs @3WWrestling, her own platform.
