It is pertinent to mention that Ripley was the fourth-last wrestler to be eliminated at last year’s Women’s Royal Rumble match. While Ripley was eliminated by then WWE SmackDown women’s champion Charlotte Flair, Ronda Rousey was the last woman standings. Meanwhile, Ripley was one of the first superstars to be confirmed for the Women’s Royal Rumble match this year.

Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble Matches: Format explained

Explaining the format for the Men's and Women's Royal Rumble Matches on their official website, WWE said, “The Road to WrestleMania begins at Royal Rumble, and the stakes are higher than ever heading into this year's Men's and Women's high-stakes Royal Rumble Match. Each match will begin with just two Superstars in the ring.  Every 90 seconds, a new Superstar enters the fray”. 

“Elimination only occurs when a Superstar has gone over the top rope and both feet have touched the floor. This continues until there is just one man left standing as the winner of the Royal Rumble Match. And his prize? A guaranteed World Championship match when WrestleMania goes Hollywood on April 1 and 2,” WWE added.
