Rhea Ripley entered into the Women’s Royal Rumble first, and by the time the match ended, she was still standing, headed to WrestleMania 39 with a title shot.

Ripley entered the tournament first, and despite 29 other superstars coming through the ring, Ripley hung on long enough to come away with a win. In the end, the final three superstars were Asuka, Liv Morgan, and Ripley.

After Asuka inadvertantly hit Morgan with a blue mist spray, Ripley dropped her out of the ring, and then proceeded to eliminate Morgan for the chance to head to WrestleMania 39 and get a title shot.

    Asuka, Rhea and Liv square off for position, and Asuka hits them each with kicks to the legs. Liv tries to eliminate Rhea and gets her on the apron, but Rhea pulls her outside and kicks her in the stomach. Asuka ends up on the apron with them, and Asuka goes for the mist. Rhea ducks and Asuka hits Liv instead, and Rhea kicks Asuka off the apron. Rhea picks Liv up and Liv connects with a Codebreaker, but Rhea skins the cat and takes Liv off the apron with a headscissors to win.
