Entrant #1- Molly Holly
Entrant #2- Alexa Bliss
A very intriguing duo to open the first Women's Royal Rumble, as we kicked things off with a surprise entrant in Molly Holly. The double-tough Holly was making her Universe Mode debut, and would square off two-time SmackDown Women's Champion Alexa Bliss, here representing Raw. Molly got off to a good start with a bodyslam on Alexa, though Bliss was able to trade back with a sunset flip powerbomb...
Entrant #3- Paige
Another former champion enters the mix, as Paige had won titles in Raw, SmackDown and NXT. Still no eliminations...
Entrant #4- Beth Phoenix
Another surprise entrant, as "The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix entered the fray. Bliss and Beth began to mix it up, but neither woman could eliminate the other...
Entrant #5- Nikki Cross
Former NXT Women's Champion and certified madwoman Nikki Cross now made her way to the ring. Molly Holly showed no fear going after Cross, chopping her across the chest and executing a nice armdrag...
Entrant #6- Trish Stratus
This could be one of the favorites to win the whole thing right, as former two-time WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus made a surprise return! But Stratus walked right into a DDT from Alexa Bliss! Meanwhile, Phoenix got the first elimination of the match, tossing out Paige...
Entrant #7- Nikki Bella
Another surprise entrant in the first half of this match, as here is former SmackDown Women's Champion Nikki Bella. As Nikki entered, Stratus got her revenge on Bliss, kneeing her off the apron to the floor. The two Nikki's began to go after each other...
Entrant #8- Bianca Belair
The "EST of NXT" was next to enter, possibly an underdog favorite to go all the way. Molly Holly went down to the Glam Slam from Phoenix, but Belair took down Beth, wanting the elimination for herself. But her ego would cost her, as Holly managed to counter and tossed Bianca out! What a humiliating elimination! Belair quickly got her revenge, as she hopped up on the apron to distract Holly, and Stratus took advantage, taking Holly out for her first elimination...
Entrant #9- Billie Kay
Here to represent both SmackDown and the IIconics, it's Billie Kay. Nikki Cross got the biggest elimination of the match so far, taking Phoenix, who was on the apron, out of the match with a flying crossbody...
Entrant #10- Naomi
Naomi would earn a big pop right away, clotheslining Nikki Bella to the floor. That momentum wouldn't last long, as she would immediately take a Chick Kick from Stratus, though she stayed in the ring...
Entrant #11- Carmella
"The Princess of Staten Island" ended Nikki Cross' title reign in NXT back in 2018, and Cross certainly remembered that, immediately hitting her with The Purge...
Entrant #12- Toni Storm
Storm is another former NXT Women's Champion, and Cross went after her too, as the two women exchanged strikes...
Entrant #13- Becky Lynch
Well this has to be the favorite in this match, "The Man", the three-time Raw Women's Champion, Becky Lynch! She didn't do much after entering, but we saw a cool collision of generations, as Stratus hit a Spinebuster on Storm...
Entrant #14- Nia Jax
"The Force of Greatness" quickly made an impact, tossing out Stratus to a chorus of boos from the Phoenix crowd. Nikki Cross would get her first elimination, backdropping Billie Kay to the outside. A third elimination would follow, as Jax took out Naomi, and then Cross and Jax worked together to throw out Storm. But that alliance was short-lived, as Jax then sent Cross flying to the floor, and then squared up to Lynch. Becky did her best to rally, but Jax was completely unstoppable, and got her fourth elimination, as she sent Becky to the floor with a Samoan Drop. That left poor Carmella on her own against Jax...
Entrant #15- Sonya Deville
Carmella got some help from Deville, and two were able to help each other stay alive...
Entrant #16- Stephanie McMahon
It's the Universe Mode debut for Stephanie McMahon, as Vince's daughter entered to a mixed reaction. "The Billion Dollar Princess" quickly locked up with "The Princess of Staten Island" while Deville showcased her strikes on Jax...
Entrant #17- Lacey Evans
"The Sassy Southern Belle" is a somewhat unknown quantity here in Universe Mode, but she wasted no time attacking a downed Stephanie, which drew cheers from Phoenix...
Entrant #18- Ronda Rousey
The former Raw Women's Champion was ready and raring to go, but immediately ran right into the Woman's Right from Lacey Evans! Two more participants to go...
Entrant #19- Peyton Royce
Royce seemed quite upset at the fact that Billie Kay wouldn't be here to help, but was prepared to go it alone. One more entrant left...
Entrant #20- Asuka
"The Empress" has been chasing gold for almost a year now, and had a perfect chance to earn another title match as the freshest woman in the ring. Rousey would get some revenge on Evans, taking her out with a clothesline following a very impressive performance in this match. Ronda was getting hot now, and took out Royce as well. But after some time spent resting, Nia Jax was fresh again, and ended Rousey's night with a Samoan Drop to the floor! Five eliminations for Nia! We would quickly go down to four, as Asuka took out McMahon for her first elimination. Carmella was next on the docket, and though she fought desperately, she was no match for Asuka, and now it was Sonya Deville left against these two unstoppable forces.
The crowd rallied behind Deville as the obvious underdog, and she gave it everything she had. She lit up Jax with big kicks, then a clothesline that took her down! Nia was leaning on the ropes, and Sonya backed all the way up, looking for the biggest clothesline of her life. But Jax was given too much time to recover, and countered, sending Sonya to the floor with a back drop, and we were down to two.
Nia Jax, representing Raw, with six eliminations to her name, versus Asuka, representing SmackDown, with two to hers. This was a rematch from Backlash 2018, where Asuka came out ahead, and you couldn't have asked for a better final two. Asuka was the fresher of the two, and went on the offensive, lighting Jax up with one kick after another, and it was obvious Nia was fading. Phoenix was solidly behind Asuka, who connected with a running hip attack and then climbed to the top rope. It was all or nothing for "The Empress", who took flight, looking for a diving crossbody. But Jax caught her in the air! Nia, with her last burst of energy, lifting Asuka high into the air, and slammed her to the floor! Nia Jax has won the first Women's Royal Rumble! "The Force of Nature" is going to WrestleMania IV!
Winner: Nia Jax
