Melina’s music is still recognizable and I guess Cameron will be in Funkadactyls garb to Clays old song (only to be quickly thrown out by a bemused Naomi), Aksana has totally dropped off the radar, has she wrestled since her release? Surprised she never turned up in TNA. Melina at less is relevant a she is a former champion as was over. Plus still active and good in the ring still. The other two is like one been MIA and did nothing memorable is Aksana. Cameron she only known to being the dancer and well laughable answer to Austin about her favorite match. She was in AEW for a cup of coffee for that tag tournament that she still terrible. |

See, if I’m Vince, I’m putting the maximum possible wager on Aksana. Then I’m booking her to win. Then I sit back and laugh maniacally as I become the richest person in the world. I can just see Vince booking Aksana to win and Vince laughing manically behind his laptop with popcorn and everything in hand as he watches the meltdown that'll ensue online  ....you forgot to include the part where Aksana simultaneously eliminates both Bianca and Rhea to win. If that’s not misery booking, then I don’t know what is. |

I feel terrible I got Katlyn confused with Ashley Massaro and thought he had died.

Katilyn best bring the knight with her.

If that’s not misery booking, then I don’t know what is. Charlotte starts at 1, and she gets the Lesnar in 2020 booking, only nobody eliminates her and she wins with 29 eliminations. |

Hate it to say it but I can see it. It needs to be trimmed down to twenty women. Probably, but then we just end up with “You sexist pigs fired all these women so you could downsize the Rumble”. And it still may not necessarily be a better match. |

Nicking my Rousey booking from the ''booking Rumble in a terrible manner'' thread eh?  |

I wonder how far down the list they were before these three said yes? And how much further until they get to BB? Might as well call Caryn Mower to see if she'll reprise her role as Muffy. |

And it still may not necessarily be a better match. They just have to not impulsively fire everyone and/or block themselves from using developmental talent for a show you still need to promote and have an actual space to do it. Like, put Wendy Choo in the match and you'll at least have a shot at getting people interested in NXT. But if you're not going to do that, do a better damn job with your main roster. |

On one hand, totally understand why some former female/male talent would reject the invite.
On the other hand, totally understand why some talent would take the one off gig. The Rumble is easy money and provides exposure.

Someone has got to invite Layla. Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about her. Is she like Eve Torres in that she's basically done with the business since she left? |

Kaitlyn being on the added list is cool I didn't mind her back in the day.

I want McCool to show up as The Undertaker. Same Entrance, makeup, clothing, moves ...everything. And I want the announcers to be like "Oh may gawd it's MRS UNDERTAKER".
And Layla will be playing the part of Paul Bearer. Screeching and everything.

Melina, Cameron (former tag team partner of Naomi), and Aksana will be in the Women's Royal Rumble match.  Cameron finally gets a chance to meet her hero. |

I said it before, but I'll say it again: WWE outright refusing to use any NXT talent it seems is an absolutely damning indictment of how the women are looked upon there by management. If I were a high profile woman in NXT like a Dakota, Io, etc, I would be putting my feelers out to see if AEW or another company wants to bring them in, because they are completely screwed right now. Hell, I wouldn't be shocked if most of the NXT Women's Division outside of whoever gets Johnny and Bruce all hot and bothered ends up in the next round of cuts at this point.
At this point, probably half of the women in the Rumble are "legends" or returns from the "divas era". It's especially bad since I don't see literally any of these returns sticking around past the Rumble on top of the fact that both the RAW and SD Women's Divisions are the worst they've been in a very long time. Especially Smackdown.

Especially Smackdown.Oh Dakota is already out the door we are just waiting on the official word and with the quarterlies coming up probably wont be long. Io on the other hand I can't imagine will be all too happy to be left out in the cold if she is indeed not in the rumble and IMO should start thinking of her exit strategy because still sitting in developmental for however many years was the first red flag and now she may not even be in the rumble instead ground up trash like Aksana and Cameron get spots instead is next red flag all while they very likely feed her false promises of...her time will come , just wait it out etc. |

It's why I think when contract time rolls around, a lot of NXT women who aren't named Raquel or part of Toxic Attraction will be seriously considering their options. I fully expect WWE to go into panic mode trying to keep Io around like they did with KOR, Gargano, Cole, and Kairi, and Io leaving would deal a fatal blow to the NXT Women's Division, and to WWE as a whole. It just makes absolutely no goddamn sense why WWE outright refuses to use NXT talents. There is literally zero downside to doing so. I would argue almost any other woman in NXT would bring more value to the table than Cameron and Aksana at the absolute very least. |

I can understand not wanting to put some of the really green NXT talent in the Rumble, but keeping the likes of Io and Dakota out of it when you're screaming for bodies to make up the numbers is nuts, IMO.
