For the first time in history, 30 women will take the ring in their very own Royal Rumble match, with the winner getting a shot at a women’s championship match at WrestleMania. The entrants are still undecided — just 13 spots remain as of Jan. 11 — but could the WWE Universe be in for a shock with a surprise entrant? Say, Ronda Rousey?

Aside from the two Rumble matches, the show is loading up to be stacked. Brock Lesnar is in action vs. Braun Strowman and Kane, with the WWE Universal Championship on the line. AJ Styles faces best friends Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, with the WWE Championship up for grabs.
