#5. IYO SKY
Right now, The Genius of the Sky is focused on dominating the tag team division alongside Rhea Ripley. But deep down, IYO SKY is a singles competitor at heart. She achieved Grand Slam status in 2025, and a Royal Rumble win is one of the few big trophies she still hasn’t claimed.
SKY’s high-flying style isn’t just for show; it’s a survival tactic. She can hang onto the ropes and defy gravity in ways that make eliminations nearly impossible. If the Japanese star starts at #1, there is a huge possibility that she could still be there an hour later, eyeing a Champion vs. Champion mega match at WrestleMania 42.
#4. 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble winner, Rhea Ripley
Rhea Ripley has already stared down the spot of death and won. In 2023, she walked out first, survived sixty grueling minutes of chaos in the Royal Rumble Match, and cemented her legacy before the night was even over.
Even though Mami’s currently decked out in tag team gold, the WWE Universe is seemingly dying to see her back in the world title picture, where she belongs. Ripley has always been the type to take the hardest path possible to prove she can. Going the distance from #1 all over again wouldn’t just be a win; it would be the ultimate Eradicator move to punch her ticket to WrestleMania.
#3. Bianca Belair
Bianca Belair has been the missing piece of the puzzle since WrestleMania 41. If the rumors of a Royal Rumble return are true, walking out at #1 would be the ultimate statement. The EST already holds the record for the most cumulative time spent in Rumble matches, so her stamina isn’t even a question.
After almost a year on the sidelines, there’s no better way to prove she’s still the fastest and the strongest than by clearing the house and heading straight for a collision course with WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill.
#2. Charlotte Flair
You can never count out The Queen. Arguably, Charlotte Flair is always a favorite in any match she enters, but her current run alongside Alexa Bliss has shown a different side of her character.
Flair has been away from the top of the mountain for a minute, and a wire-to-wire win from the opening bell is exactly the kind of prestige move she could use to remind everyone that the division still runs through her.
#1. Liv Morgan
It appears that nobody has more wind in their sails right now than Liv Morgan. Since her revenge tour kicked off again at Survivor Series last year, she’s been the heartbeat of WWE.
Morgan has been Royal Rumble’s almost girl far too many times, finishing as the runner-up with a broken heart. Starting at #1 fits her underdog soul perfectly. Watching her scratch and claw through 29 other women to finally get her WrestleMania moment wouldn’t just be a win; it would be the feel-good story of the year.
