3. Liv Morgan (43:50)
The favorite to win the 2026 women’s Royal Rumble match was Liv Morgan. The two-time Women’s World Champion was a runner-up in 2023 and 2024 to Rhea Ripley and Bayley, respectively. However, failure was not an option for Morgan, who was determined to go one better and add a Rumble victory to her resume.
Saudi Arabia has been kind to Morgan over the years as she won her second Women’s World Championship in 2024. She also became the inaugural WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Champion in the fall of that year. Nevertheless, Morgan joined the fray as the 14th entrant.
Her Judgment Day stablemates Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez also featured. Morgan’s performance in her joint-record ninth Rumble appearance was excellent as she eliminated Nattie, who has also featured in all nine women’s Rumbles.
The biggest talking point was Morgan eliminating Rodriguez from the Rumble, who didn’t look happy. Nevertheless, in a callback to her 2023 and 2024 Rumble appearances, Morgan, Sol Ruca, and Tiffany Stratton were the final three battling on the apron. Morgan eliminated Stratton with her patented Oblivion to win the 2026 women’s Royal Rumble match. She thoroughly deserved the win, lasting just under 44 minutes in the process.
