Stephanie McMahon announced that WWE will be having the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble match next month. There has been a ton of buzz since the announcement, with fans speculating on potential call-ups and surprise returns for the match.
One of the biggest questions still remains: how many participants will there be? Will WWE go with 30 like the Men’s match? Or will they cut down the number based on the current Women’s roster size?
According to a report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider, we know what the original plans were for the number of participants.
Johnson says that the initial pitch for the Women’s Royal Rumble match back in November featured 15 participants.
Johnson speculates that WWE will now do more than 15 participants. This is based on how hard WWE is pushing the match and some of the reactions from female stars of the past.
