Worst in the World: The 2022 Women's Royal Rumble

 (NOTE: Hey everyone, I just wanted to remind everyone that next week, I'll be taking a look at the 2022 Men's Royal Rumble as opposed to in two weeks. After that, I'll be back on my normal schedule of every other week. Hope you enjoy!)

 (Special thanks to camilo jaramillo for suggesting this match. If you'd like to see a match covered on the Worst in the World, leave a comment down below.)

The last time I covered a Royal Rumble match on the Worst in the World, I said that, while they don't have a perfect track record, WWE tends to hit more often than not with their most iconic gimmick match. That was before this year's matches. The 2022 Royal Rumble as a whole was pretty bad, with the majority of the undercard being largely forgettable, and the sole good match between Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins ending with a lackluster DQ. But the Royal Rumble isn't sold on the undercard, it's sold on the actual Royal Rumble matches...and they both managed to disappoint. That's why over the next two weeks, I'll be taking a look at both of the 2022 Royal Rumble matches, starting with the Women's edition.

The Women's Royal Rumble made its debut in 2018, and while that match had a few hiccups (still not entirely sure why Michelle McCool of all people got the most eliminations), it's still proven to be a success with plenty of great moments. From Becky Lynch's surprise entrance in 2019 to Bianca BelAir's Iron Woman run in 2021, and the cream of the crop...Billie Kay & her headshots trying to find a partner.

I miss this woman so much. But as I was saying, and just like the men's match, the Women's Royal Rumble is generally a safe bet for a fun time. Especially since WWE have, in the last few years, signed up the most talented & stacked women's roster they've ever had...

Source: Gamespot

Except they don't, because they've been firing massive amounts of people since 2020, and 2021 was no different. Among the 80 names released in 2021 were main roster women's wrestlers like Ruby Riott, Tegan Nox, and Mia Yim, all of whom are immensely talented and certainly would have improved this match, among others. So, that robust women's division has now dwindled, and the absences of Becky Lynch & Doudrop, who were having a match for Becky's Raw Women's Championship, Bayley & Asuka, who were injured, Lacey Evans who was on maternity leave, and Alexa Bliss, who was busy with...

whatever these segments were, means that the main roster women's divisions can only fill up HALF of the 30 spots. This meant that, like with 2021, WWE was going to have to see a lot of NXT involvement to fill out the match...

Except they can't do that, because WWE decided to nuke NXT because they lost the Wednesday Night Wars to AEW were looking to build towards the future, and left NXT 2.0 in its place. This change also came with a thinning of that roster as well, which meant that women like Ember Moon and Franky Monet, among others, were shown the door. This left the NXT women's division mostly made up of super green and not ready to wrestle on TV prospects, and more experienced but not as recognizable names. There are/were still outliers like Mandy Rose, Io Shirai, and Dakota Kai, but unless you're terrible at math, you'd know that those three weren't going to fill the large amount of empty entrants. I guess they could've looked to NXT UK, but no disrespect to the NXT UK roster, nobody really watches NXT UK, and I can't imagine too many people would know who Nina Samuels, Marley Baker, Eliza Alexander, or Ziva James are. Some of those names are made up, and I bet you don't know which ones without looking them up.

So, even with ALL of that in mind, WWE could've played this right. After all, the most exciting part of the Royal Rumble is the returns. And with 15 open slots, that's 15 surprise entrants WWE had at their disposal. This could be one of the most unpredictable Royal Rumbles ever...

Except they didn't do that. Instead, they did one of the more annoying things WWE tends to do; announce a surprise return before it happens, effectively killing the "surprise" aspect. Here, they announced 7 returns, almost half of the open spots, and while they still had unannounced returns, the fact that WWE decided to spoil THEIR OWN SURPRISES for a match that's partially built on surprises is a real buzz kill. So, now that all that's out of the way, let's get into this.

Entrant #1 is Sasha Banks, and if the last week is anything to go by, it might be a while before we ever see Sasha in a Royal Rumble match. Super Weeb Sasha is out sporting a cool little Sailor Moon-inspired attire.

Entering at #2 is our first unannounced surprise of the match in Melina, who makes her first appearance in a WWE ring since 2011. It's not the smoothest entrance, however, as (at least from fan recordings) it looks like her entrance jacket got stuck, and she spends nearly a minute trying to get it off while the camera just holds on Sasha for an extended period of time. Melina eventually frees herself and hits the splits before the bell rings. The two trash talk and pose at each other before Melina throws a kick, which Sasha catches. Sasha follows up with a knee to the face and then...dumps Melina over the top rope and out of the ring. No fanfare or anything. It's so sudden that you'd think it was a botch, but I haven't seen anything to confirm that. Sasha stands tall before doing her own splits in the ring.

The clock eventually winds down before Tamina enters at #3. Sasha wastes no time, taking out Tamina before she even gets in the ring with a baseball slide before going under the bottom rope and onto the apron to hit a diving Meteora. It's here where commentator Jimmy Smith clearly forgets the rules, loudly saying "WHAT IS SHE DOING!?" before Corey Graves explains it away. Sasha rolls Tamina into the ring and tries to dump her over the top rope, but Tamina fights out and punches away at Sasha. Sasha rebounds, however, and hits a wheelbarrow bulldog, sending Tamina crawling into the corner. Sasha follows up with two Meteora knee strikes and tries to throw Tamina over the top rope, but Tamina fights out and headbutts Sasha away. Another returning wrestler enters at #4 as Kelly Kelly makes her way to the ring. Kelly takes a long time walking to the ring as Sasha avoids elimination at the hands of Tamina. Kelly runs in and throws a few forearms at Tamina, who shoves Kelly into the ropes. That means it is time for an all-time classic...watching Kelly Kelly run the ropes. I can't show a clip from the actual match because Peacock sucks (God, I miss the WWE Network), but here's a gif if you don't know what I mean. It is never not funny. Kelly then hits a tilt-a-whirl headscissor takedown on Tamina doesn't go great, sending Tamina retreating into the corner. Kelly follows up with a handspring back elbow and signals for a Stinkface, but silly Kelly, this is a PG show! Tamina shuts that down with a clothesline. Sasha takes down Tamina before Kelly tries to eliminate her with a headscissor over the top rope. However, Sasha breaks out of it and shoves Kelly Kelly to the ground. Props to Kelly, though, she takes a rough flat bump on the outside.

Aliyah enters at #5, immediately taking the fight to Sasha. Sasha gets the better of the brawl and tries to eliminate Aliyah, but she fights out and hits a Thesz Press before ripping off her "Aliyah 3.17" t-shirt. Tamina takes the t-shirt from Aliyah and slaps her with it, but Aliyah ducks a follow-up clothesline and hits an enziguri. Aliyah tries to eliminate Tamina, but Sasha runs over to try and eliminate Aliyah. Aliyah holds on, narrowly avoiding elimination twice before Sasha catches her with a knee. Liv Morgan is entrant #6, quickly taking the fight to Aliyah before hitting a dropkick. Liv then has a bit of a clunky exchange before launching Sasha towards the ropes. Liv narrowly gets the elimination, but Tamina makes the save. Liv catches Tamina with a boot in the corner before hitting a missile dropkick. Meanwhile, Sasha hits Aliyah with Three Amigos as entrant #7, one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions Queen Zelina (Vega), makes her way down to the ring. Our second Weeb Alert of the match, as Zelina is sporting an attire inspired by Madara Uchiha from Naruto.

Zelina saves Tamina from elimination at the hands of Aliyah & Liv Morgan before giving Aliyah a knee to the face. A kick to Sasha, however, is blocked, earning her a knee to the face. Sasha tries to eliminate Zelina, only for Tamina to make the save, dumping Sasha over the top rope and onto the apron. Remember how much it sucked when Daniel Bryan got eliminated in the 2015 Royal Rumble? Well, here's the all-female reboot of that. Sasha fends off Tamina, only to get booted off the apron and out of the match by Zelina. It doesn't get to 2015 levels of heat, but the crowd is not happy with this. Tamina & Zelina take the fight to Liv & Aliyah before Bianca BelAir enters the match at #8. Bianca runs through Liv & Tamina, booting Tamina's head into the ring post. Zelina jumps on Bianca, only for Bianca to power Zelina into a suplex. Liv tries to toss Bianca out, only for Bianca to reverse it and throw Liv to the apron, but Liv holds on. Liv holds on again after Bianca hits a handspring into her, which Bianca follows up with a moonsault. Bianca tries to eliminate Zelina, but Tamina makes the save again. I really don't know why everyone keeps saving each other. Like, I know that Zelina and Tamina have a little alliance going, but it seems like everyone is saving everyone just because.

Entrant #9 is the 24/7 Champion Dana Brooke, who makes her way to the ring accompanied by Reggie. Dana tries to eliminate Aliyah, but Zelina stops her, so Dana tries to eliminate her, only for Tamina to save her. Dana kicks away at Tamina before hitting a dropkick, which she follows up with a handspirng back elbow on Bianca and a neckbreaker on Liv. Bianca tries to muscle Aliyah over the top rope, leaving her open to Liv attempting to eliminate both. Entrant #10 is up next; Michelle McCool. The first time I watched this match, I was worried we were getting another unnecessary run of dominance from McCool. Tamina gets Dana on the apron, only to eat a big boot from McCool. McCool sends Dana off the apron with a knee but she gets saved by Reggie. Liv tries to get the jump on McCool but eats a belly-to-belly for her troubles. Bianca eats a big boot from McCool before Zelina's monkey flip is blocked by McCool. A follow-up hurricanrana is blocked, leaving Zelina in the perfect position for a Faith Breaker. Dana goes for a flying nothing off the top rope, only to eat a nice big boot from McCool, who in turn eliminates her. Tamina puts an end to McCool's dominance with a shot from behind.

Meanwhile, Zelina locks in a Dragon Sleeper on Bianca in the corner while Liv tries to eliminate Aliyah.

Entrant #11 is Sonya Deville, who's in the midst of her role as a WWE official and her never-ending and never really explained feud with Naomi. Seriously, I have no idea why the feud started, but they feuded for like six months straight. Sonya walks down to the ring, but instead walks over to the commentary table, saying she'll enter when she's ready. Nothing really happens until Natalya enters at #12. Liv tries to get the jump on Nattie but ends up being dumped on the apron herself. Liv avoids elimination but ends up getting kicked in the face by Natalya. Bianca tries to dump Natalya out of the ring, but Tamina makes the save and tries to throw Bianca out, only for Natalya to sneak up and dump both of them over the top rope. Tamina is eliminated, but Bianca holds on and rolls back in the ring. Why the fuck did Tamina last longer in this match than Sasha Banks? Aliyah pounces on Natalya before she, McCool, and Bianca try to eliminate her. Entrant #13 is a surprise return in Cameron, the former Funkadactyl who's wrestling her first match in WWE since 2016, and only her second match since leaving the company. What's more important is that Cameron is the former tag partner of Naomi, which sparks the interest of Sonya Deville. Cameron quickly hits a hurricanrana on Liv Morgan, a Codebreaker on Zelina, and a wheelbarrow bulldog on Natalya, only for Sonya to run in a deck her in the face. Sonya drops Cameron onto the apron and throws her into the ring post, sending her to the ground. I actually really liked this moment. They used a return to advance a storyline (even if it's a storyline I didn't really get.) On top of that, Cameron looked fairly good in the little bit she got to show off. She was pretty bad in the ring during her actual run, but she had a fun little sequence here.

Proof that wrestling is scripted, Naomi is entrant #14. Naomi doesn't play up to the crowd because there are serious matters she must attend to. After checking on Cameron, Naomi enters the match to brawl with Sonya. Naomi hits a springboard kick before dumping her onto the apron and finally roundhouse kicking her to the ground. Natalya tries to get a quick elimination, only to eat a springboard stunner for her troubles. Entrant #15 is the other half of the Women's Tag Team Champions Carmella, who takes her sweet time walking around the ring before chatting with Corey Graves. Nothing else happens until entrant #16, Rhea Ripley, comes out. Rhea also doesn't enter the match right away, instead running over and throwing Carmella into the ring. At some point, Carmella put on one of her creepy-as-shit face masks.

Carmella & Zelina pounce on Rhea, setting her up for a discus clothesline from Natalya. The Tag Team Champions try to eliminate Rhea, but she muscles them over the top rope and onto the apron before dropkicking them to the ground. Rhea follows up with a thrust kick to McCool and a not-great pop-up slam to Liv Morgan before dropkicking Bianca and headbutting Natalya. Rhea hits a back body drop slam on Aliyah before entrant #17, Charlotte Flair, comes out. Charlotte is the current SmackDown Women's Champion, and she's entering with the prize being that she gets to pick her opponent for WrestleMania (i.e. what would happen if the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion won the G1 Climax.) Charlotte quickly clotheslines Rhea and boots Aliyah before throwing her out of the ring. Charlotte follows up with a fallway slam on Liv before chopping Naomi and blocking a follow-up hurricanrana attempt. Flair tries to drop Naomi over the top rope, but Naomi avoids elimination by hooking her foot on the bottom rope. This elimination save isn't all that great, but at least this one worked. Wait until next week, you'll see what I mean. Despite saving herself, Naomi is still eliminated when Sonya pops up and yanks her down to the ground.

Entrant #18 is out, which means it's time for the highlight of the Rumble. Blaring sirens sound off as Ivory, decked out in full Right to Censor garb and with a microphone in hand, makes her way to the ring. Ivory says it has been an awful long time, but nothing has changed. She calls the women in the match "wayward, lost little girls" as she steps into the ring. Even as Rhea scoops her up, Ivory continues talking into the mic about how she wants them to be "women taking care of their families" instead of worrying about "Facebook followers" as Rhea places her on the apron. The stick in the mud, holier than thou boomer thinking millennials still use Facebook is a perfect touch. Rhea finally shoves Ivory to the ground for elimination, leaving with one last "HOW DARE YOU!" into the mic. Ivory is the best, man. Entrant #19 is Brie Bella. How is the intentionally grating Right to Censor music still easier to listen to than "BRIE MODE." Brie hits a clothesline on Natalya before giving forearm shots to McCool, Liv, and Rhea. Brie then leads the crowd in a"YES!" chant, which is kind of weird because Daniel Bryan doesn't work there anymore. Brie knees Natalya in the face and goes for the elimination, but Natalya survives and tries to dump Brie out, who also survives. Meanwhile, Rhea and Bianca try to eliminate Charlotte as entrant #20 is Mickie James...Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Mickie James! Mickie James not only enters with a nameplate saying she's the Knockout's Champion-

well, "Impact Women's Champion", but close enough), and not only does she enter with her Impact theme "Hardcore Country", but she even comes out with the Knockout Championship.

Even though this had been announced beforehand, this was easily the biggest surprise of this match. As far as I know, and outside of a casual jab from Kurt Angle, this is the first time Impact has ever been mentioned on WWE television. Never thought I'd see the day. Michelle McCool doesn't let her get in the ring, dropping her with a knee when she gets on the apron. McCool throws Mickie into the ring and tries to dump her out, but Mickie slips out and hits a spin kick to McCool's gut. Mickie follows up with a spin kick to Rhea and a flapjack to Liv. McCool tries for the elimination, but Mickie ends up taking her out of the ring with a hurricanrana. Why the fuck was Michelle McCool in this match for twice as long as Sasha Banks? Alicia Fox is out next at #21, quickly hitting single-leg dropkicks on both Liv and Rhea. Fox follows up with an axe kick on Mickie before she & Natalya both go down on a double hair pull slam. Fox hits another single-leg dropkick on Natalya before Rhea & Liv try to eliminate her. Entrant #22 is Nikki A.S.H. (Nikki Cross/Storm.) Rhea, the former tag partner of Nikki, waits for her to come to the ring, only for Nikki to run in from the crowd to try to get a sneaky elimination, but Rhea holds on. Nikki runs out of the ring to avoid Rhea, leaving Rhea open to a blindside attack from Charlotte. Charlotte & Rhea trade chops before Summer Rae makes her return at #23. This is Summer's first match in WWE since 2016, and only her third match since leaving the company. Also, I'm no Jomboy, but I'm pretty sure Summer Rae yells "YOU FUCKING BITCH, FUCK YOU!" when she runs down to the ring. I swear, go back and watch it. Summer directed that possible profanity towards Natalya, which commentary hypes up as part of their long-standing "rivalry" from Total Divas. Sure, why not, I'm not willing to watch two seasons of Total Divas to verify it, so I'll believe whatever they say about it. Summer quickly hits a Thesz Press on Natalya and tries to slap her, but Natalya blocks it and gives Summer a slap of her own. The two exchange more slaps before Summer hits a spinning heel kick, only to get decked by Charlotte. Natalya dumps Summer out of the ring and manages to avoid elimination at the hands of Charlotte after the fact.

Entrant #24 is Nikki Bella, who quickly gives Bianca & Natalya a knee to the face each before following up with a Spinebuster on Natalya. Bianca tries to suplex Nikki Bella, but her sister makes the save. Fox tries to eliminate Bianca, but she gets dumped onto the apron for her troubles. The Bellas come back with a double flapjack on Bianca as all the members of Team Bella (The Bellas & Alicia Fox's team from the terrible "Divas Revolution" era) celebrate, only for Nikki to floor Fox with a forearm to eliminate her, because, unlike the nWo, Team Bella is not 4 Life. Liv goes after Nikki Bella but ends up getting double-teamed by the Bellas. That is until Liv's former Riott Squad partner Sarah Logan (the former Crazy Mary Dobson) makes her return to WWE at #25, wrestling in her first match since being released in 2020. Logan quickly saves her former partner from the Bellas, hitting Brie with a jumping double knee and a pop-up headbutt on Nikki, before she and Liv have a reunited moment. That's enough of that, the Bellas chuck her right out of the ring. The Bellas then eliminate Liv, despite her dragging Nikki onto the apron. Entrant #26 is Lita, who floors the Bellas before hitting a suplex on Nikki A.S.H. Lita and Mickie trade blows before Lita dumps Mickie onto the apron. Mickie avoids elimination at first, but Lita catches her with a swinging DDT as she climbs through the ropes, causing her to tumble back down to the mat.

Lita and Charlotte trade blows before entrant #27 comes out. It's Mighty Molly, Molly Holly's superhero persona. Unfortunately for her, there's only room for one superhero (or..."almost a superhero") in this match, so Nikki A.S.H. hides outside the ring and jumps Molly as she walks to the ring. Nikki A.S.H. throws Molly into the ring steps before throwing her into the ring, screaming incoherently like only a true Scot could. Nikki A.S.H quickly dumps Molly over the top rope and out of the match before posing triumphantly.  Entrant #28 is yet another return in Ronda Rousey, making her first appearance in WWE since WrestleMania 35 in 2019. Rousey strikes away at any woman that comes near her in the match before dumping both Nikkis (Bella and A.S.H.) onto the apron and locking a double guillotine on them. Nikki A.S.H. gets booted to the ground, but Brie distracts Rousey enough to save her sister. BUT SWERVE! Brie eliminates Nikki herself, which earns her a flurry of punches from Rousey. Entrant #29 is Shotzi (Blackheart), who quickly climbs to the top rope for a double crossbody on Bianca and Rhea before hitting an enziguri on Charlotte. Shotzi tries to eliminate Lita as Rousey throws Brie over the top and out of the match. Why the fuck was Brie Bella in this match for twice as long as Sasha Banks?

Our 30th and final entrant is Shayna Baszler. Man, WWE really fumbled the bag with Shayna, huh? Also, I'll never forgive WWE for replacing her awesome original entrance theme. Shayna runs in and hits a high knee on Rhea before hitting a German suplex on Shotzi and a back suplex on Bianca. Lita tries to hit a swinging DDT on Shayna, but Shayna blocks it and hits a gutwrench slam. Shayna follows up with a knee to Natalya before she and Rousey look set to square off. However, Charlotte ruins the fun, attacking Shayna while Natalya goes after Rousey. It doesn't work out well for Nattie, who gets dumped on the apron before Rousey eliminates Shotzi. Rousey & Bianca both eliminate Natalya before Rousey tries to eliminate Bianca...and then I'm not entirely sure what happens here. Natalya runs back into the ring to try and eliminate Rousey....and then just gets tossed right back out. I don't know why they did this. We're down to the final six as Lita hits a Twist of Fate on Charlotte before hitting a hurricanrana on Rhea, but going to the top rope for a moonsault ends with her being shoved onto the apron by Rhea and getting booted to the ground by Charlotte. Rhea tries to eliminate Rousey with an electric chair, but Rousey locks in an elevated triangle choke on her. Charlotte runs over and tips Rhea over the top rope and onto the apron with Rousey, finally eliminating her with a big boot. Man, they're really never gonna let Rhea get anything over Charlotte, huh?

The final four are Charlotte, Rousey, Bianca, and Baszler, as Bianca tries to eliminate Charlotte but Charlotte survives and chops away at Bianca. Bianca recovers and whips Charlotte over the top rope, but Charlotte avoids elimination again. Shayna locks in the Kirifuda Clutch on Bianca, but Bianca fights out and hits a Spinebuster. Bianca goes for her handspring moonsault, but Shayna pops up and catches her with another Kirifuda Clutch. Bianca fights out and tries to eliminate Baszler with the K.O.D. (an Argentine Sitout Facebuster), but Charlotte runs over and eliminates both of them. It's down to Charlotte and Ronda Rousey. The two stare each other down...and then the match ends. Literally, Charlotte runs in for a big boot, Rousey ducks it, and dumps her over the top rope for the win. Maybe I've just been spoiled by great final twos in Royal Rumble history (looking at you, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker in 2007), but I don't understand why they would hype up the final two if that action is only going to be about 10 seconds long. Whatever. Charlotte sells this loss for about a millisecond before walking to the back with a slightly annoyed look (i.e. the most annoying thing Charlotte constantly does after losing big matches) as Rousey celebrates.

The Verdict

It's probably the worst Women's Royal Rumble, which sounds a lot worse than it actually is since there have only been five. It's far from the worst Rumble matches ever (hell, it's not even the worst of this show, and there are a couple of fun moments (the Sonya Deville/Cameron spot and Ivory's return), but there really isn't anything that makes this match stand out against past Rumbles. Normally, "not standing out" isn't that bad in this series, but when it's a Royal Rumble that's only 20 seconds shy of an hour, it really starts to drag. On top of that, a real misuse of Sasha and an oddly booked ending of the match knock it down a bit as well. As for the winner, while she wasn't my choice, I understand having Ronda Rousey win. WrestleMania's always been geared towards bringing in casual fans, but WrestleMania 38 turned it up to 11 in that regard. Rousey is easily the most recognizable woman on the roster to the average person, so it's not surprising they gave her the win. Personally, I would've rather had Bianca BelAir go back-to-back (especially if she was getting a title match at WrestleMania anyway) or Rhea Ripley cause I think she would've had a better match with Charlotte than Rousey, but I understand why they made the choice they did.  It's not going very far down the list, but there's really no reason to go back and watch this match.
