This past Sunday saw the 2019 editions of the men’s and women’s WWE Royal Rumble matches and they were cracking. Now, as I love me some stats and fancy something a little snazzier than Wikipedia, I’ve decided to make two lovely lists, one for the men and one for the women, with pictures and podium positions for all.
So with that said, let’s kick things off with the women’s match, shall we?
Your 2019 Women’s Royal Rumble Winner
1st Place – Becky Lynch
Taking an injured Lana’s place after having lost to Asuka in the main card’s opening match, Becky Lynch hobbled to victory and solidified her place in the main event of WrestleMania.
2nd Place – Charlotte Flair
With the announced names, Charlotte Flair was the clear winner and had a fantastic showing. Unfortunately, the ‘Man’ came to town.
3rd Place – Nia Jax
Nia did what she was there to do. She arrived late, was dominating and acted like a dick before Flair and Lynch worked together to get her out for a big pop.
Most Eliminations or The Kane/Roman/Braun/Michelle McCool Award
1st Place – Charlotte Flair
Eliminations – Four
They had to give the ‘Queen’ something considering she wasn’t leaving with the ‘W’.
Charlotte Flair’s eliminations – Lacey Evans, Xia Li, Tamina, & Bayley
2nd Place – Nia Jax, Bayley, Rhea Ripley, & Ruby Riott
Eliminations – Three
Nia was a monster, Bayley was simply good, Rhea got a showcase and Riott was a dirty stinking heel.
Nia Jax’s eliminations – Natalya, Io Shirai, & Bayley
Bayley’s eliminations – Ruby Riott, Rhea Ripley, & Alexa Bliss
Rhea Ripley’s eliminations – Kacy Catanzaro, Zelina Vega, & Dana Brooke
Ruby Riott’s eliminations – Kairi Sane, Candice LeRae, & Alicia Fox
3rd Place – Lacey Evans, Natalya, Alexa Bliss, & Becky Lynch
Eliminations – Two
Lacey and Natalya were there for ages and only got two. That goes double considering Bliss and Lynch were both out in the final five.
Lacey Evans’ eliminations – Billie Kay & Peyton Royce
Natalya’s eliminations – Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan
Alexa Bliss’ eliminations – Ember Moon & Sonya Deville
Becky Lynch’s eliminations – Nia Jax & Charlotte Flair
The Ironwoman Award
1st – Natalya
Time: 56:01
Although I’m not a fan of Nattie, she is a legacy, a talented wrestler, and has had a rough year with her father Jim Neidhart passing away so this was a fitting choice.
2nd Place – Ember Moon
Time: 52:23
Ember Moon is amazing. Considering she should have won the Battle Royal at Evolution, she deserved a huge stretch here and that’s exactly what she got. It’s a shame she came out of it with an injury.
3rd Place – Charlotte Flair
Time: 50:01
She had to make the final two because it’s Charlotte Flair and she had to put on a showcase because it’s Charlotte Flair.
The Opposite of the Ironwoman Award
1st Place – Liv Morgan
Time: 00:08
Despite only lasting eight seconds, Liv made a comeback alongside her fellow Riott Squad cohorts later in the match so at least she got some time in the spotlight.
2nd Place – Naomi
Time: 01:28
Naomi was in this match for two reasons: the Kofi spot and Mandy Rose. No more time was needed.
3rd Place – Sonya Deville
Time: 04:26
This one actually hurts a little as Deville is one of the most underrated talents on the main roster at the moment and this could have been a brilliant showcase for her. It wasn’t.
Most Royal Rumble Matches in a Single Event
1st Place – Nia Jax
I know that this was a controversial spot for Nia to enter the men’s Royal Rumble and get Superkicked, 619’d, and RKO’d but it was one of the best moments all night and that is saying something.
2nd Place – Literally Everyone Else
