Royal Rumble Results: Rhea Ripley wins the women’s Rumble from NUMBER ONE

Rhea Ripley won the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble match from the number one spot to secure her title match at WrestleMania 39.

The ‘Mommy’ of The Judgment Day dominated the field with seven eliminations and lasted over an hour in the ring.

As the winner, Ripley will now have the option of facing the RAW or SmackDown Women’s Champion at WrestleMania in April, who is currently Bianca Belair or Charlotte Flair, respectively.

Michelle McCool, who is married to The Undertaker, entered the ring after sitting in the crowd with her children taking part in the action of one of WWE’s biggest comebacks.

Elsewhere in the match, Nikki Cross and Doudrop returned to their original WWE personas and got rid of changes overseen by Vince McMahon.

Chelsea Green also made her return to WWE, but was pulled from the match in a matter of seconds to record the fastest elimination in company history.

That will baffle some fans, but if a fighter isn’t going to win, many like to do something remarkable and this was certainly it.

Nia Jax made a surprising return to the company in 30th place in the match. After taking on the entire remaining field, it took everyone to get her over the top rope and out of the ring.

Asuka returned in the face paint that was synonymous with her pre-WWE career as Kana, a destructive force of nature outside of the world’s biggest promotion.

Nia Jax has been out of the company for about 15 months since she was released in 2021.

Ripley briefly dislocated her knee in the matchup, but was able to pull it out for the win.

She would have a good run all the way to the final three, but it was Ripley who survived them all and looks poised for a career-defining 2023 after reaching a new level on Judgment Day.

And she did all this after taking a spear from Beth Phoenix earlier in the night.
