Nia Jax and Jade Cargill Among Favorites to Win 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble

The highly anticipated WWE Royal Rumble 2024 is just around the corners, and fans are eagerly waiting to find out who will join the illustrious list of winners in the women’s Royal Rumble match. In the past, top stars like Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair have emerged victorious in this prestigious battle royal, paving the way for their WrestleMania moments.

Last year, Rhea Ripley, who currently holds the Women’s World Championship, won the women’s Royal Rumble, solidifying her spot as one of WWE’s top stars. Her rise to prominence has made her a main event player on Monday Night Raw, and it’s highly likely that she will go into WrestleMania 40 as the reigning Raw Women’s Champion.

So, who will follow in Ripley’s footsteps this year? Here are the top five contenders to win the 2024 women’s Royal Rumble:

1. Nia Jax – Just weeks ago, Jax scored a clean victory over Becky Lynch, an impressive feat by any standard. Her return to WWE has been successful, with marked improvements in her in-ring performances and overall character development. WWE seems to be building towards a feud between Jax and Ripley, making Jax a strong candidate to win the women’s Royal Rumble and establish herself as a top contender.

2. Jade Cargill – Although she has yet to compete in a match, Cargill has generated significant buzz with her appearances on Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. She turned down a contract offer from AEW to join WWE, and there is high anticipation for what she can achieve in the company. Cargill has consistently been among the favorites in the betting odds for the Royal Rumble, and a win for her would instantly establish her as a top star in WWE. She would also make a compelling challenger for Ripley or any other women’s champion at WrestleMania 40.

3. Belair – WWE had been building towards a match between Flair and Belair at WrestleMania 40. However, with Flair’s injury sidelining her for an unknown period, Belair could step into the spotlight. Belair has been a dominant force in the women’s title picture and winning the Royal Rumble would present her with a golden opportunity to cement herself as a top star.
