Most Eliminations in each Women’s Royal Rumble

Similarly to the Iron Women, the most eliminations in the Women’s Royal Rumble is still a relatively new category, with a few stand out performers. Nobody has – as of yet, has eliminated over a third of the field, but Bianca Belair, Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler share the honours for the most eliminations in a single match with 8. Between Baszler and Belair in 2020 they eliminated over half the field in the match, and epitomise how eliminations tend to go, with Belair starting early and picking off competitors slowly and surely, and Baszler coming in at the end to dominate. Nia’s 8 eliminations took place in the 2024 and 2025 Royal Rumbles, and although there’s some discrepancy in the 2025 Royal Rumble, I’ve given it 8 eliminations.

Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax have been the highest eliminator in matches twice, and Michelle McCool holds the honour of being the individual with the most eliminations in the first Royal Rumble with 5. Amazing, considering she wasn’t an active competitor at the time and was one of the “legends” brought back to perform in the match.

Of the performers who have had the most eliminations, only one has gone on to win the match. Rhea Ripley had a commanding performance in the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble, who not only had the most eliminations and won the match, but she also was the Iron Woman, and the first woman to win the match from the number 1 position.
