I think she's going to be iron woman of the rumble tbh. Probably because I can't think of who else would get that spot. Only because Bianca Belair, who was the Iron Woman three years in a row in the Rumble, isn't in it (unless she loses her title before the match happens). Maybe Becky Lynch or Bayley is a possibility? |

I'd think that Bianca either won't be in it or will be in late to set up her feud. Becky is for sure going to get the mid to late mega pop spot. Bayley will probably get caught up in DCtrl shenanigans and not last super long. So probably Liv or someone completely random that they try to establish would be my guess. |

You say Damage Control shenanigans would lead to Bayley being in and out rather quickly, but I reckon Dakota Kai could be a dark horse for being the Iron Woman. It's a role designed for either your absolute tippy-top stars that aren't already in title matches to shine, or your trusted mechanic types that are good at corralling the talents and holding a match together, and Kai seems to be carving out that niche for herself on RAW. |

Not really. She’s just been meandering around doing random stuff for months. Also even her character is being written sloppy. Her character has been pretty consistent since losing the title. She’s taking chances, whether in the ring or out of the ring. Challenging people, slapping around Raquel, jumping through tables, wanting to be first in the Rumble. Usually someone of her level loses the belt and fades away (like Carmella and Nikki Cross in the past). Have you seen Smackdown's Women's division. It would take some next-level sabotage to fade away and sink in that mess of a division. |

Plus, she's an expert bumper and seller. You need those people to make all the girls in it look good. I could see Dakota & IYO with a iron women run while Bayley gets a late-entry and gets eliminated within minutes to further tease the notion of Bayley being in Dakota & IYO's shadow now that Becky was talking about a week ago. |

I'm loving the fact Liv has her totally own unique story going in to the Royal Rumble match. Not many others do. That gives me hope! 😋 She was the first announced entrant. It's been a while since #1 won, it's never been done in women's division. Exactly perfect time to do it! Being Raquel's bitch is just the usual yearly monster story that she'll have to overcome. 🤔 She's also usually the one getting all the pinfalls at house shows > during February to April, we'll most likely start seeing all that and much more on television. Booyaka!👆 The Miracle Kid might as well call herself The Heartbreak Kid soon as this build guaran-damn-tees she'll win this thing. 💪 #1 #IronWoman #Winner

In an isolated vaccuum that is the Rumble, there's a lot of possibilities tbh - any of Damage Control, Asuka, Becky, Liv, Rhea for example. My thinking is Rhea wins so she'll come in around mid-way. Asuka's not been in a Rumble since 2018! But yeah, it's a long way since they needed Natalya to go 55 minutes just to keep the whole thing gelling. (Which is just as well as even if Natalya is cleared for the Rumble, which was meant to be a long shot, she'll be rusty and unlikely to be able to go long...) |

I feel like Iyo is the likely candidate for iron woman right now over Dakota. While Dakota is carving out a niche for herself, she's being presented below Iyo and arguably Bayley as well. And they are positioning Iyo as the breakout star this year, methinks. Doubly so if NBCU/Comcast buys out WWE, as they had Iyo slapped all over their ads for NXT, and she's also featured on RAW ads as well (with Dakota and Bayley being background characters). Pretty obvious someone there likes her. As for Liv, I don't see her lasting too long in the Rumble, if just for the fact that her entire character is being "too extreme" to the point of where it costs her matches. This past Friday on Smackdown was a good example of that. I think she'll try to do a high risk spot early on and get tossed. Let alone winning it. The most likely choices are Rhea, Raquel (even though she's never going to work ever, Triple H is seemingly obsessed with trying to get her over), and Becky. Dark horse pick is Asuka, because if she's returning at the Rumble with a repackaged darker character, I can't see her being eliminated. They could then have her target someone like Charlotte for Mania. |

Of all of Dmg Cntrl IMO IYO is best suited to be the IronWoman and I believe she is gonna be atleast in the final 5.
Hell I will long call it now...she is gonna be the one to eliminate Bayley.
As far as Liv goes I expect she gets an early short showing before being eliminated by Raquel or Rhea who go onto monster a portion of the roster (because giant women) untill someone like Asuka returns and bodies them.

They could then have her target someone like Charlotte for Mania. Well, they got Dakota featured on their USA Network ads, so someone there likes her as well. As for Liv, I do agree that her daredevil/extreme character is probably going to screw her over. It costed her the #1 contenders match a couple months ago where she took herself & Raquel out allowing Shotzi to win; It nearly costed her the Women's tag titles, where she almost got herself DQ'd had Tegan not calmed her down; it costed her last week against Raquel. I could definitely see a scenario where she has someone set up on the table, she climbs up only to get launched off the top rope & onto the floor to get eliminated. With Ronda off the table, Becky's odds have gone down. On the otherhand, reports of Beth returning in the Rumble have also decreased Rhea's likelihood of winning as well. It really is a crapshoot this year. |

Yeah, it’s crazy that there’s no real runaway favourite for the Women’s Rumble because the two most predicted matchups of the last few months (Belair v Flair, Rousey v Lynch) are both currently off the table.

Rhea imo. getting big Sheamus 2012/ Nakamura 2018 vibes. But my hopes are enjoyable rumbles and no Brock squashing everyone after last year, that's all. |

I wish to see Liv on my tv already. ' hate how they'll skip her at SD! yet have her in dark matches. It makes the weekends lamer than usual. 😓 Hopefully this week they'll reinforce the fact that #1 is in it to win it! ✨ > There MUST be more fresh news than Liv eating f***ing popping jellies. 😂 🍬

WIN OR LOSE, SHE'S DESTINED TO FIGHT FOR ONE OF THE BELTS AT THE BIGGEST STAGE~! #MRSWRESTLEMANIA 👊This road will be (even) bigger than her rise to stardom during Money in the Bank. I've the similar gut feeling (as before) it all will come actually into fruition. Saturday is going to be a blast full of emotions. It has all the tools to be the best Royal Rumble match ever, L-E-G-E-N-D-A-R-Y ... 🍾  |

Liv's been left off from Smackdown for two weeks now, it's time to use *wishful thinking* ~> that's only 'cause men's rumble is so easy to predict, of course they want to keep Liv's big W a surprise and try to not build her up! 😅😂 (😭)
