I was surprised with how good some of the returning divas looked and performed last night. Some looked like they could return as full time performers tomorrow while others.. not so much.
Michelle McCool really surprised me. She stayed in a long time and looked better than when she was full time. I could see her returning to full time or a short run. The Bellas didn't look like they missed a beat either and I didn't see any Brie batches. Beth Phoenix looked like she could return full time tomorrow. Maryse was surprising that she actually had some offense and didn't just run away the whole match. Alicia Fox was surprising too. Not amazing but not terrible. Mickie James so glad she came out with the impact belt and had a good showing.
Lita was a bit underwhelming. I guess she's been out of regular action the longest. She wasn't terrible imo but definitely not what she once was by a long shot. Molly didn't make it to the ring so can't judge but she looked good. Cameron was better than expected and was never much of a wrestler even back in her time. Melina was very disappointing even a bit embarrassing. Wonder if she was supposed to be eliminated that quick after they rolled out a red carpet for her.
Kelly Kelly and Summer Rae didn't look at all like their old selves. I wouldn't hVe recognized them. Meh performances. I think Kelly Kelly came back at an earlier women's rumble and looked and wrestled more like her old self.
Ivory could be a non wrestling personality kind of like Vickie guerrerro. Would be nice to see her as an authority figure or manager.

Ivory being 60 and yet looking the goddamn same is some kind of magic.

12 returning "legends" in the Rumble, and I think 7 of them didn't even last the 90 seconds until the next entrant. New young fans everywhere are wondering, "Why do they keep bringing these old people back? They're terrible!"

All I have to add is, I loved Nikki ASH full blown heel attacking Mighty Molly. I hope this sets up a match/feud between them.

She's going to be a great heel but it's sad that such a likeable and natural babyface like Nikki has to go bad to be used better but then most women are better as heels now I guess.

Ivory, just because it was hilarious. And WOW does she NOT look 60 years old.
Mickie got treated a lot better than expected and her getting the full entreat experience was great.
Most of the rest were either out really fast, or just there.

This should end up on unexpected spots of the year lists. Best part was her looking shocked she pulled it off!

Did Ivory come out of a time machine?? She didn’t age!
Awesome seeing Melina get a nice pop and embrace the crowd. Cool moment.
Summer Rae and Brie Bella looked freakin drop dead gorgeous.

I looooooove Melina, and wish she had more than 90 seconds in the match. Her emotion is genuine and I'm so happy for her.
Ivory did pretty good, as did the Bellas.
But Mickie won the night. Come on! She brought the Impact Knockouts Title and her own music to a WWE show? Let's go! Big dub

McTaker definitely always seems to last the longest.
Rumbles and the evolution battle royal.

Ivory has always been solid on the mic, I can see why they wanted her to do some of the preshow stuff years ago, but at the same time, after her RTC run, it seems like such a waste she was barely used.

I had high hopes for Lita being in at the end since she was the only legend they got to be on the shows with promo time and hype. So I figured she was going to have a long outing and be at the end. Seeing the times and seeing Brie Bellas was in there for nearly 20n mins to her 10 felt wrong. She got one of the biggest pops of the night. For sure out of all the women's until Ronda first showed up. Than fan noticed where it was going.
