The Queen and last year’s winner, Charlotte Flair, came out as the first entrant of the Women’s Royal Rumble and were joined by Alexa Bliss in the ring as her tag team partner came out in the second spot.

Bliss and Flair came head-to-head in the ring but didn’t get physical with each other. They waited in the ring and proceeded to taunt each other with their finishers, but didn’t hit each other.

They were then joined in the ring by Kiana James and Nia Jax as they made their way to the ring at numbers three and four, respectively.
