Nikki Bella’s entry at number 25 marked the beginning of the end for Riyadh’s opening Rumble match. Entrant 26, Lyra Valkyria, quickly scored an elimination against Giulia with tag partner Bayley’s help. Tag team dynamics continued to prove crucial in this year’s Rumble, as a miscommunication between entrant 28 Kairi Saine and Asuka led to both women getting eliminated.

After a Rumble with plenty of familiar names, entrants number 29 and 30 sent Riyadh to their feet. Brie Bella joined the Rumble in the second-to-last spot to reunite with twin Nikki Bella, and Tiffany Stratton returned to WWE programming in the enviable 30th entry spot. From there, the eliminations rolled in: the Bellas eliminated Bayley and Valkyria, while Jayne eliminated Jordan before being eliminated by Ruca. Legend was the Rumble’s assassin, with “The Boujee Bully” scoring eliminations against the Bellas, Flair, and IYO SKY before being eliminated by Ripley. Rodriguez eliminated Ripley shortly thereafter, only to be backstabbed by Judgement Day teammate Morgan.

A Double Sol Snatcher on Morgan and Stratton nearly scored Ruca the win, but a trip to the apron for the final three allowed for Stratton to eliminate Sol. The opportunistic Morgan capitalized, and an Oblivion by Morgan sent Stratton tumbling to the floor.

After nine Royal Rumble appearances, Morgan can finally call herself a Royal Rumble winner. She joins Asuka, Ripley, Bayley, and Bianca Belair in the exclusive club of female Superstars who have bested 29 other competitors for their WrestleMania moment.
