Rhea Ripley is the winner of the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble Match.
Tonight’s WWE Royal Rumble Premium Live Event featured the 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match. The match came down to Ripley, Liv Morgan and Asuka. Asuka spit her mist but Ripley ducked, and Morgan was blinded. Ripley eliminated Asuka, then fought with Morgan until eliminating her for the win. Ripley entered the match at #1, while Morgan entered at #2.
The biggest surprises and returns in the match were Chelsea Green, Natalya, Piper Niven coming out and no longer using the Doudrop name, Michelle McCool, and Nia Jax, who entered at #30. WWE NXT was represented by Zoey Stark, Indi Hartwell, and NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez.
Ripley has now earned a title shot at WrestleMania 39, but that match has not been confirmed as of this writing.
