I think Ronda is in it and she’ll win.

Nikki and Brie are supposedly training for a return in early 2018, so I figure they're in it. Also figure we'll get the Iconic Duo main roster debut, probably setting up a program with the Bellas that is hopefully their retirement/pass the torch match on 'Mania Kick-Off. Maybe one or two old time names from before the current era, not sure who that would be, though.
One rumor making the rounds is Rousey is in and it would be Rousey/Asuka for the title at WrestleMania. Not sure I like that better than the MMA 4-Horsewomen vs. WWE 4-Horsewomen, but it would certainly give Asuka some mainstream rub if done correctly.

Since it's a Rumble and doesn't necessitate a full match with proper conditioning, that opens up the door for A LOT of people.

If Rousey is in it she's gonna win, and that segment this week will look even worse...

so the winner gets to challenge the smackdown womens belt, NOT the raw belt.
suspiciously, doesnt this open the way for Alexa to win the rumble, so she can beat Flair and unify both belt and become the great ever, so some other BS?

There are 22 women on the active roster (11 on each brand). Take away the two Champions, Alexa Bliss and Charlotte (as of now), and it works out perfectly as a 20-woman Rumble:
1. Alicia Fox 2. Asuka 3. Bayley 4. Becky Lynch 5. Carmella 6. Dana Brooke 7. Lana 8. Liv Morgan 9. Mandy Rose 10. Mickie James 11. Naomi 12. Natalya 13. Nia Jax 14. Nikki Bella 15. Paige 16. Ruby Riott 17. Sarah Logan 18. Sasha Banks 19. Sonya Deville 20. Tamina
The only return/surprise would be Nikki Bella, but this is the first ever women's Rumble; do we really need surprise entrants already? I liked that WWE pulled back on surprise entrants last year. They're fun once in a while, but oversaturing the idea cheapens the surprises.
As a side note, I hate how women's battle royals don't have the "over the top rope" rule. So lame watching women roll themselves underneath the bottom rope to get eliminated. I hope they amend that here.

A former women/diva champion 9.) Stephanie McMahon 10.) Roman Reigns Sound about right

I liked that WWE pulled back on surprise entrants last year. They're fun once in a while, but oversaturing the idea cheapens the surprises. Normally I would agree that Rumble's have way too many old timers "surprise" entrances. But considering the Rumble didn't exist in the past,if 2-3 HOF names who never got to compete had a littl 2-3 minite cameo I don't think it would get ruined. In fact someone throwing out a Trish Stratus or Beth Phoenix would be a bit of a rub.

I hope they amend that here. See, I disagree about the surprise entrants. Of course, you don't need to have a truckload of them but it is actually my favorite part of the Rumble Match every year; trying to figure out who will unexpectedly show up in the Rumble Match. I think it's only fair that same applies to the ladies. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to go with 25 women rather than 30. That leaves 5 open spots for NXT or former Divas. That should be enough.

I like the idea of Bayley dumping her idol, Lita. Or Mandy Rose eliminating her doppleganger, Trish.

I hope they amend that here. It could be 20, but if the rumors are it'll be 30, that would likely up it more. If it's 30 like claimed- there's no way it's not just the Iconic Duo, but the Iconic Duo, Ember Moon, and Nikki Cross ALL going up from NXT for the Rumble. AT LEAST. And likely including Kairi Sane and Shayna Baszler. That gets you to 26 with the 20 women who are non-champs, the top 6 women in NXT. Throw in Brie and Ronda, and you still have two openings for surprise women (and if so, my gut would tell me Trish Stratus and Lita are the two surprises.)

1) rousey (probably at #30) 2+3) iconic duo 4+5) nikki and brie 6) trish 7) lita (hope they have a spot like piper/snuka several years back where everyone just stopped and watched one of the biggest rivalries have a final go around) 8) Kari Sane 9) Shayna Baszler (start some horsewomen stuff with sasha and bayley being in the match) 10) a tossup for me, Kharma, Kaitlyn, Eve, Kelly Kelly- someone from that timeframe for an under 5 minute rumble appearance
I personally think Absolution is going to gang up on asuka and toss her so she can both not win the rumble but also keep the undefeated streak alive.

The Rumble's in Philly. What are the former ECW women up to these days? How many are still in ring shape to take part? Maybe Jazz and that's about it.
