Aksana's the only one here that surprises me. Melina is always trying to get booked, and Cameron honestly was pretty decent when she popped up in AEW as a one-off, plus I could see her naturally going after Naomi, probably at Sonya's urging.

I wonder how far down the list they were before these three said yes?
And how much further until they get to BB?

How f***ing desperate do you have to be to give a nostalgia spot to Aksana? About the only thing worth remembering about her is her theme being decent menu music in one of the games.

I understand Melina because she was super popular but Aksana and Cameron were never over.

Are WWE THAT afraid to let some NXT women enter the Rumble that they're filling spots with AKSANA? That's not even a Nostalgia spot at this point that's just getting whoever you can get.
Girls like Jillian Hall and Kaitlyn would make way more sense than Cameron or Aksana, let alone like... any of the women in NXT? Io? Raquel? Dakota? Toxic Attraction?? I'd put Wendy Choo in this thing over f***ing Aksana, you know, people you're supposed to be presenting as your FUTURE?

Melina, Cameron (former tag team partner of Naomi), and Aksana will be in the Women's Royal Rumble match.

This really comes off as so desperate. Especially having to bring Aksana in who wasn't memorable in the slightest and has had nothing to do with the business since she was released eight years ago. Having to resort bring in a ton of ex employees already really cheapens it but having to bring in people who didn't do anything and are not even close to being "legends" makes it even worse.
Also at this point they are starting to run out of women who don't work there any more to bring back as surprises. Really who is left that they haven't used in Rubmle yet that's wrestled for them in the last ten years? At this point I think it's just Eva Marie (who I'm sure won't be a problem since they recently brought her back for a brief run), Kaitlyn, Eve Torres, Emma, Layla, and AJ (who I think might not be able to wrestle even if she wanted too due to an injury). They really should just cut it down to twenty unless they have a big enough roster. Or just stop firing people.

That's not true... she also had a part in a great one off comedy spot where Golddust trapped her in a net... Cody went by doing something (maybe he was grotesque at this point) and it cuts to Dusty going... I have some weird kids... hey everyone LET'S DANCE! and everyone in scene just dances for no reason... including Aksana who is still in the cargo net.

Stuff like this only makes me happier the IIconics told them to f*** off tbh, you don't mean shit to them, you're just a name to try and pop anything for this event, and if they're desperate enough to put Aksana in, I wonder how many other rejections they got.

I'm telling you guys. I'm calling it now. They're going to quietly cancel the women's Rumble in another year or 2.

Like...its almost admirable at the lengths WWE is going towards not using the NXT Women. Especially since you are going to have TWO OF THEM competing tonight in a dark match with Dakota and Io.
This Women's Rumble is going to be the worst one yet.

Right after firing Morrison and his wife? That's cold.

Meanwhile Io Shirai and Dakota Kai do nothing which tells me Vince and Co don't value either at all.

Here's my personal list, y'all tell me if it's doable:
- Victoria (with H "ousted" from power, rumours of backstage heat SHOULD be a thing of the past here, and is much deserved)
- Deonna Purazzo (Screw "Mrs. Do whatever for the bag' Mickie James, get the REAL diamond of the knockouts division in there with Charlotte and co.. AS SHES SUPPOSED TO BE)
- Sienna/Allyson Kay (Someone who I'm still SHOCKED is floating between NWA and the Indies. How New York hasn't hollered is psychotic imo)
- ROK C (Another perfect Babyface that's ripe for pick up with ROH closing up shop for now. She's a proven commodity that you can build a division around, and is great on the multimedia side of things)
- Willow Nightingale (If anyone has seen WoW, this girls a winner. Again, another great Babyface and young enough to groom)
Upon review, nothing crazily "crowd popping" but damn good additions to the roster once the Mania reset happens.

If they wanted to get the nostalgia pop, they could have brought in Ivory (aka Tina Moretti) and Ninotcha from GLOW and done it. Then I realize that they'd be damn near 60 (Edit: Ivory turned 60 in November) and can probably still go in the ring.
John Laurinaitis and Bruce Prichard are utter poison to the women's division right now. Take a look at who you've got now on Raw and Smackdown and enjoy them, but they're likely to be the last you'll see featured at or near the top of the card for some time. If you're a woman in NXT, you're a Knockout or All-Elite in training.
