In a video shown during Friday’s SmackDown, Charlotte Flair announced that she would be entering the Royal Rumble match. Return vignettes for the multiple-time Women’s champion started to air on last week’s show.

Following the video, a segment aired inolving Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley meeting face-to-face with Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton. This brought out Nia Jax, who officially declared for the Rumble. Naomi, Bianca Belair, and Liv Morgan all came out and did the same. After Morgan said Raquel Rodriguez would ensure her win, a brawl ensued. That led to a match where Jax, Candice LeRae, and Liv Morgan defeat Belair, Naomi, and Ripley.

Towards the end of the show, United States Champion and previous Royal Rumble winner Shinsuke Nakamrua also declared for the Rumble:
