...continued from Royal Rumble Update #1.
The 30-Woman Royal Rumble match is still in progress. We join the match below at entrant number 11.
30-Woman Royal Rumble Match
After the countdown clock expires, out comes Peyton Royce as number eleven. She immediately makes an impression in the ring and it isn't long before she and Billie Kay are standing side-by-side and fighting for a common goal, leading the commentators to talk about this being a mini Ilconics reunion.
Victoria, meanwhile, hits her old Widow's Peak finisher as the countdown clock counts down and out comes Santana Garrett as the number twelve entrant. The gals duke it out in the ring for another two minutes with not a lot happening and then the countdown clock appears again.
This time when the countdown clock expires, Liv Morgan makes her way down. She and Ruby Riott immediately team up and go to work on Shayna Baszler.
Now the countdown clock appears again as Billie Kay is eliminated. Out comes Rhea Ripley as the 14th entrant. She eliminates Toni Storm. The action slows down now as we see Baszler choking Victoria over the ropes and dumping her down to the floor, eliminating her for her second in the bout.
The countdown clock re-appears after Ripley eliminates Santana Garrett for her second in the match. Out comes Charlotte Flair as the number 15 entrant.
After some back-and-forth action among the remaining entrants duking it out in the ring, the countdown clock counts down and out comes Dana Brooke as entrant number 16.
We see Peyton Royce eliminate Liv Morgan right before the countdown clock re-appears on the screen. When it expires, out comes Torrie Wilson as another surprise entrant. She makes her way down the ring as Jerry Lawler pops on commentary at the number 17 entrant in the women's Rumble for the second year in a row in the same spot.
Dana Brooke makes a big impact as she hits some high spots and then nearly eliminates Rhea Ripley. Ripley and Brooke fight on the apron outside the ropes. Ripley ends up power-bombing her on the side of the ring apron and she falls down to the mat as Ripley's third elimination. Dana Brooke is out.
The countdown clock hits and when it expires we get a real big surprise as we hear "WOOO!" for the second time in the match. No, it's not Charlotte Flair -- she's already in the ring. Instead, it's "THE NATURE BOY" Ric Flair.
Wait, nevermind. Flair just makes an entrance to distract Charlotte and then he introduces the real 18th entrant, Lacey Evans. Evans comes out in the famous Flair robe. She taunts Charlotte as she makes her way down to the ring, taking her sweet time.
Charlotte stands in disbelief / anger as she waits for Lacey to get in the ring with the robe on. Lacey ignores Charlotte and poses to the fans right in front of her. Charlotte attacks her from behind and stomps her down and out of the ring, but under the bottom rope. She goes out under the bottom rope after her to continue the beatdown outside the ring.
As Charlotte hops back on the ring apron, she eliminates Peyton Royce. Moments later, Baszler eliminates Torrie Wilson. Right after that, Bianca Belair eliminates Bayley. As she reacts to being eliminated, number 19 comes out and is Mickie James.
James makes her way down to the ring, blasting Lacey Evans with a big boot on the floor before entering the ring. As she does, the commentators show highlights of Bayley's elimination, which was almost missed in all the chaos that was going on as it went down.
Mickie and Charlotte go face to face as we hear Mickie say she's been waiting for this for a long time. Charlotte blasts her with a big shot and then chops her across the ring. Mickie tries fighting back but Charlotte turns up the intensity. She sits Mickie on the top-rope but Mickie wraps her legs around Charlotte's head and hits a head-scissor takedown off the top.
The commentators continue to focus on Charlotte being in a bad mood because of Lacey Evans and her father. After the countdown clock expires again, the number 20 entrant comes out and it is none other than Nikki Cross.
