The WWE Royal Rumble premium live event has concluded, proving to be a massive success for the company and marking the return of former champion Liv Morgan, who has etched her name in history.
Reports from Fightful Select reveal that this year’s Royal Rumble garnered the highest viewership, surpassing even WrestleMania in terms of audience numbers. The event was not only memorable for the company but also for the wrestlers, with Natalya and Liv Morgan making significant contributions.
Entering at number thirty, Natalya and Liv Morgan both participated in the Women’s Royal Rumble match, creating history by competing in seven consecutive Royal Rumble events. Natalya was eliminated by Tegan Nox after twenty-one minutes, while Liv Morgan faced elimination at the hands of Bayley. Despite not winning the match, Liv Morgan’s impressive streak sets her apart as the first superstar to achieve such a feat in Royal Rumble history.
Bayley emerged victorious in the Women’s Royal Rumble match, securing her first win in this career-defining event. The former champion, Liv Morgan, has yet to announce her championship target for WrestleMania. However, speculations are high, and fans eagerly await her decision, which is expected to be revealed on SmackDown.
While Liv Morgan may not have won the Royal Rumble match, her aspirations remain high as she expressed her desire to challenge the current WWE Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley. Liv Morgan took to social media to share her intentions, and Rhea Ripley responded to the post. The two superstars had previously worked together as a tag team, but their alliance ended with a betrayal by Ripley. Their last encounter in March last year saw Ripley emerge victorious. The anticipation now surrounds when the company will book a match between these two formidable stars.
