Mandy Rose Sonya DeVille Natalya Mickie James Sarah Logan Liv Morgan Ruby Riott Carmella Dana Brooke Naomi Tamina
This is also factoring in a ton of Nostalgia and NXT Pops for the night, I'd say in some senses I expected more but in others a lot of the CURRENT ROSTER Girls got basically zero reaction and that's pretty dire to me...

well the crowd was pretty muted after the men's rumble, even for the title match, so 11 is probably better than could be expected. Especially since some of those girls usually get decent reactions

Naomi regularly gets good reactions. One night isn't a big deal
5 of the women here just got called up like 2 months ago and have spent most of their time just in tag matches. The only ones who really stand out here are Carmella, Natalya, and Mickie James considering they all got pushes this year (tho James was against Alexa Bliss.)

Yeah, well, when WWE treats their talent like ineffective garbage so they don't get popular enough to branch out, that's what happens.

Honestly, the Rumble pops are usually for the people in the Main Event, and surprises.

Her reactions have been about dead silent since she dropped the belt. Also then maybe don't call up underdeveloped girls to be in wasted factions??

The crowd was f***ing wiped but the the fact you listed mostly real low-note names like Dana and Tamina, and the new girls isn't any coincidence. The Absolution and Riott Squad entrants were never going to get a reaction because the whole execution of them has been trash garbage. Remember how long it took the Four Horsewomen to get any traction because of their dire-ass call up?

Naomi had the crowd chanting Chicken Heads at the riott squad a few weeks ago. She hasn't lost a step. Not like I can do anything with how the WWE books them. I'm just saying them not getting a reaction isn't a surprise.

Just shows the lack of depth on the women's roster and the effects of roster turnover has. Female wrestlers just don't typically wrestle full time for over 5 years so the bottom of the roster will typically be newer people who the crowd hasn't had a time to connect too.
If you are not in the title picture there isn't much to do that isn't valet work sadly.

Especially since some of those girls usually get decent reactions Men's Rumble was getting huge Pops actually, even boos I consider a reaction. I meant in the sense of that match exhausting the crowd, the crowd was dead for guys like Cesaro and Seth Rollins so expecting them to pop for Liv Morgan is a bit of a stretch.

Carmella needs James Ellsworth back.

I wouldn't call that promo "Not losing a step" but the crowd did chant for it for some reason, probably because no one gives a flying shit for Riott Squad.

I would have been more surprised if some of them did get a reaction.

Keep in mind, the Rumble PPV was like 5 hours(counting the Pre-show), I'd consider it very impressive that the girls got any sort of reaction by the end of the night.

The crowd was exhausted and were repeatedly hit with surprise pop from nostalgia acts who hadn't been seen in-ring in forever and had their welcome worn out. I don't think it's a fair metric.

The Absolution and Riott Squad was some sort of half-ass invasion angle on both rosters.
