The Boss and The Bellas wisely ganged up on Asuka, but Sasha, who was the No. 1 entry in the match, got a little too enthusiastic and shoved the twins aside to get her shots in on The Empress of Tomorrow. Nikki &amp; Brie responded by tossing her over in unison. The Fearless One shocked the WWE Universe when she eliminated Brie moments later, mouthing the unmistakable words to her stunned sister: “I want this.”</p> <p>Asuka, as it turns out, wanted it just a little bit more. Despite suffering a Rack Attack 2.0, The Empress of Tomorrow lured Nikki into a slugfest on the apron. And it was Asuka, with a quick-thinking swipe of Nikki’s legs, who was the last woman standing.</p> <p>Alexa and Charlotte made their way into the ring to find out which title The Empress of Tomorrow would select to compete for at WrestleMania, but unlike <a class="wwe-wysiwyg--link" href="/shows/royalrumble/2018/30-man-royal-rumble-match-results">Men’s winner Shinsuke Nakamura</a>, she never got the chance. Former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey made her entrance to the strains of Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation,” stood in front of the three competitors and pointed at the WrestleMania sign, seemingly implying that she was calling dibs on whichever woman Asuka <em>didn’t</em> select to be her opponent at The Show of Shows. While The Empress of Tomorrow slapped Rousey’s hand away as she went to shake it, guest commentator <a class="wwe-wysiwyg--link" href="/superstars/stephanie-mcmahon">Stephanie McMahon</a> was much more receptive as Rousey made her exit.</p> <p>The interaction between Ronda and Stephanie implied some kind of agreement had been struck, but for now, the implications of her appearance remain unresolved. Only two things were certain as the Women’s Royal Rumble Match concluded: That 29 women weren’t ready for Asuka, and there’s only one more standing between The Empress of Tomorrow and a title.</p>

The Boss and The Bellas wisely ganged up on Asuka, but Sasha, who was the No. 1 entry in the match, got a little too enthusiastic and shoved the twins aside to get her shots in on The Empress of Tomorrow. Nikki &amp; Brie responded by tossing her over in unison. The Fearless One shocked the WWE Universe when she eliminated Brie moments later, mouthing the unmistakable words to her stunned sister: “I want this.”</p> <p>Asuka, as it turns out, wanted it just a little bit more. Despite suffering a Rack Attack 2.0, The Empress of Tomorrow lured Nikki into a slugfest on the apron. And it was Asuka, with a quick-thinking swipe of Nikki’s legs, who was the last woman standing.</p> <p>Alexa and Charlotte made their way into the ring to find out which title The Empress of Tomorrow would select to compete for at WrestleMania, but unlike <a class="wwe-wysiwyg--link" href="/shows/royalrumble/2018/30-man-royal-rumble-match-results">Men’s winner Shinsuke Nakamura</a>, she never got the chance. Former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey made her entrance to the strains of Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation,” stood in front of the three competitors and pointed at the WrestleMania sign, seemingly implying that she was calling dibs on whichever woman Asuka <em>didn’t</em> select to be her opponent at The Show of Shows. While The Empress of Tomorrow slapped Rousey’s hand away as she went to shake it, guest commentator <a class="wwe-wysiwyg--link" href="/superstars/stephanie-mcmahon">Stephanie McMahon</a> was much more receptive as Rousey made her exit.</p> <p>The interaction between Ronda and Stephanie implied some kind of agreement had been struck, but for now, the implications of her appearance remain unresolved. Only two things were certain as the Women’s Royal Rumble Match concluded: That 29 women weren’t ready for Asuka, and there’s only one more standing between The Empress of Tomorrow and a title.</p> <div class="wwe-match__byline--wrapper"> <div class="wwe-match__byline"> <h3 class="wwe-match__byline--dateline"> Published on <span class="byline-date">January 28, 2018</span> </h3> <div class="wwe-match__byline--info"> <div class="wwe-match__byline--image"> <picture title="Asuka won the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match; Ronda Rousey arrived" class="wwe-match__byline--image" role="dialog" aria-label=""> <!--[if IE 9]><video style="display: none;"><![endif]--> <source data-srcset="/f/styles/wwe_1_1_m/public/all/2019/05/350x350_avatars_benigno_--a5d89db308a809aebc2171bfd02e536c.jpg 1x" media="(min-width: 1025px)" /> <source data-srcset="/f/styles/wwe_1_1_m/public/all/2019/05/350x350_avatars_benigno_--a5d89db308a809aebc2171bfd02e536c.jpg 1.5x, /f/styles/wwe_1_1_s/public/all/2019/05/350x350_avatars_benigno_--a5d89db308a809aebc2171bfd02e536c.jpg 1x, /f/styles/wwe_1_1_m/public/all/2019/05/350x350_avatars_benigno_--a5d89db308a809aebc2171bfd02e536c.jpg 2x" media="(min-width: 760px)" /> <source data-srcset="/f/styles/wwe_1_1_s/public/all/2019/05/350x350_avatars_benigno_--a5d89db308a809aebc2171bfd02e536c.jpg 1x" media="(min-width: 0px)" /> <!--[if IE 9]></video><![endif]--> <!--[if lt IE 9]> <img class="wwe-match__byline--image lazyload" role="dialog" aria-label="" data-src="/f/styles/wwe_1x1_s/public/all/2019/05/350x350_avatars_benigno_--a5d89db308a809aebc2171bfd02e536c.jpg" alt="Asuka won the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match; Ronda Rousey arrived" title="Asuka won the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match; Ronda Rousey arrived" /> <![endif]--> <!--[if !lt IE 9]><!--> <img class="wwe-match__byline--image lazyload" role="dialog" aria-label="" data-srcset="/f/styles/wwe_1x1_s/public/all/2019/05/350x350_avatars_benigno_--a5d89db308a809aebc2171bfd02e536c.jpg 350w" alt="Asuka won the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match; Ronda Rousey arrived" title="Asuka won the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match; Ronda Rousey arrived" /> <!-- <![endif]--> </picture> </div> <div class="wwe-match__byline--author"> <span class="byline-author"><a href="/staff/anthony-benigno" target="_blank">Anthony Benigno</a></span> <div class="wwe-match__byline--author-description"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end l-hybrid-col-frame_main --> <div class="l-hybrid-col-frame_rail-wrap hybrid-col-frame_rail-wrap"> <div class="l-hybrid-col-frame_rail hybrid-col-frame_rail frame-rail-1"> <div data-wname="ads_rail_pane" data-pos="0" class="panel-pane pane-ads-rail-pane"> <div class="wwe-ad--rail wwe-ad--rail-1" alt="Advertisement" role="dialog" aria-label="Advertisement"> <div id="wwe-ad-rail-628146065"></div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end l-hybrid-col-frame_rail --> </div><!-- end l-hybrid-col-frame_rail-wrap --> </div><!-- end l-hybrid-col-frame_col-wrap --> <div class="l-hybrid-col-frame_bottom hybrid-col-frame_bottom"> <div data-wname="ads_footer_pane" data-pos="0" class="panel-pane pane-ads-footer-pane"> <div id="wwe-ad-footer-213260546" class="wwe-ad-footer"></div> </div> <div data-wname="match_pagers_pane" data-pos="1" class="panel-pane pane-match-pagers-pane"> <div class="wwe-match--pagers__wrapper"> <div class="wwe-match--pagers wwe-match--pagers-2"> <a class="wwe-match--pagers--item wwe-match--pagers--previous" href="/shows/royalrumble/2018/brock-lesnar-braun-strowman-kane-results"> <div class="wwe-match--pagers--label"> <div class="wwe-match--pagers--direction"><span>Prev match</span></div> <div class="wwe-match--pagers--title">Universal Champion Brock Lesnar def.
