Really surprised Layla El hasn't been used by WWE since her contract expired,she has more twitter followers then women from her era like Melina,Kelly Kelly,Beth and Michlle McCool. Mostly hoping we get Bull Nakano or Medusa/Alundra. Also I would imagine the door is open to Eve Torres down the line but like Maryse she has youngun's


Prediction though is Trish,Lita,Kaitlyn and some NXT OR MYC gals

Layla is to busy with Ricky Ortiz.....Rally Up!!!!

Candice LeRae, Nikki Cross, Bull Nakano, Eva Marie (who gets immediately dropped by whoever gets to her first - though there is sort of history with Lynch)

They don't even have to bring eva Marie back. Just have her announcer talk her up, then a few minutes later when she still hasn't come out he informs us that she's stuck in traffic and cant make it.

The Bellas.

I know I know, wild shot. But I just have that feeling!

Yep

[mattyc]

Meiko Satomura
Dakota Kai
Melina
Kaitlyn

I don't see this happening, but I'd love for Alundra Blayze and Bull Nakano to both appear in this and have themselves a Roddy Piper/Jimmy Snuka Rumble 2008 style moment.

Dawn Marie

Alundra Blayze and Ivory seem like the easiest surprise entries to get since they were both in that battle royal at Evolution but weren't in the first Women's Rumble.

I'd say Sable but I think like Ivory last year, they plan on inducting her into the Hall of Fame.

Santina or no buys

Sable could have been Inducted in the HOF at any point this decade had she wanted to be.I would imagine only her and her family members probably know whether she wants to be inducted in the next year 5-10 years,in a few months or never.

[Crappler El 0 M]

I am hoping for NXT/NXT UK/MYC surprises. Between last year's Rumble and Evolution battle royal, we've seen most of the legends from the past. We didn't see Victoria or Melina. They could both physically do the match. Kharma would be a cool surprise.

[Dat Dude]

It won’t happen but I’d cry manly tears if Mercedes Martinez or Melina showed up lol.

Is that you Sable?

Anyways, it was reported that WWE contacted her about the Evolution event. They did the same with Wendi Richter for the WrestleMania 25 battle royal and she turned them down. The next year Richter was inducted into the Hall of Fame. They appear to be interested in doing business with Sable again and while the Evolution ppv didn't pan out, they surely would have been aware that the Hall of Fame would be another opportunity.

It has been said that in 2012 they contacted Sable about being inducted and she turned them down. It left them without a female inductee that year. Given that it was Florida (where she is from) and her husband (Brock Lesnar) would return to the company the night after that Mania, it made sense to offer the induction. But plenty of wrestlers initially turn WWE down and then later accept when it is offered again. It's unlikely that WWE asked her every year after 2012 if she wanted to be inducted though. So I do not believe she could have been inducted at any point. Like when Warrior, Backlund, Mr T, and Sammartino turned them down, they eventually circled back to them and asked again. They asked Honky Tonk Man in 2010 and he turned them down. Have they asked him every year since? No. But they did business with him on RAW a few years after and eventually they'll ask him again.

I just believe that WWE approaching her about Evolution was more of a first step to Hall of Fame induction. They'd probably prefer to do business with her around Mania rather than the Rumble.

For all those people saying Kharma - what if she came out, but as Welfare Queen with Zoya the Destroya, Liberty Belle and Sheila the She-Wolf accompanying her.

Then inside the ring is Nia Jax, Lana, Lacey Evans and Nikki Cross which leads to the WWE vs GLOW moment.

Given that her husband is literally the highest paid per match guy in WWE history,she could have had a career like Tamina and 100% still be inducted. Not a fan of her or many of the "diva" perfomer's of that era myself,but I would be pretty shocked if it was by WWE choice that Ivory,Beth and Jacqueline were inducted before her when she was a much bigger star.

I think Vince would absolutely love this.

I think I would too, to be honest.

Like I said, it is believed that 2012 was the first time they contacted her about induction. After a deal couldn't be reached, they moved on. They don't constantly ask the people who turn the deal down if they want to reconsider. They give it time and they move on to other inductions. Jacqueline got in when she did because she grew up in Dallas. The location of Mania sometimes plays a part in who gets in and when. Ivory got in because there was a buzz around GLOW.

I don't know if Sable is going in this year. It's a deal they probably want to close eventually though and if they made contact with her a few months ago, it could be the first step to induction this year. Otherwise it could just as easily be Bull Nakano going in this year since she loaned them her ring attire for Mania weekend last year. Or Michelle McCool because it's convenient. etc



As for a Sable appearance at the Rumble, it just seems unlikely until she gets inducted.

Alundra Blayze and Bull Nakano

Madusa recently revealed she was supposed to have the spot Ivory had in the Evolution Battle Royal of going far, but with the ring rust and lack of preparation and he knee replacement the previous year they thought it was safer to switch the spots. But she did hint she would be working with them more and she recently did a women’s empowerment seminar at the PC with Eve Torres. If she can get more training in then I can see them using her again here.

Nakano is more of a long shot

We haven't had Mae Young appear for a while have we?

I wouldn't be surprised if she shows up. Not to compete but in a backstage segment.

I could see Kharma appearing too. Maybe even as The Welfare Queen.

Got to admit, everyone would be extremely surprised by Mae Young.

I'd mark for Renee Young entering and hitting someone with Dirty Deeds before getting eliminated, to be honest.

Anyone suggested Viper/Piper Niven? Any chance?
