Liv Morgan Wins 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble And Heads To WrestleMania

Posted By: Ben Kerin on Jan 31, 2026

WWE rolled into Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday for its annual Royal Rumble premium live event, and the night kicked off with the Women’s Royal Rumble match, where the winner secured a championship opportunity at WrestleMania 42.

The bout moved at a frantic pace, with a large portion of the field being cleared quickly and several eliminations happening with little time to settle. WWE held back its biggest moments for the closing stretch, saving the final two entry spots for surprise returns from Brie Bella and Tiffany Stratton, both of whom received strong reactions.

Lash Legend emerged as a dominant force throughout the match, racking up five eliminations and looking poised to go the distance before being eliminated late by Rhea Ripley. Ripley’s momentum did not last long, as Raquel Rodriguez quickly dumped her over the top rope. That advantage was short lived, however, when Liv Morgan betrayed her Judgment Day partner and sent Rodriguez packing.

That sequence left Liv Morgan, Sol Ruca, and the returning Stratton as the final three. The closing moments unfolded with all three battling precariously on the apron. Ruca attempted a risky maneuver that backfired when Stratton blocked her, but Morgan capitalized immediately afterward, tossing Stratton to the floor and sealing the victory.

With the final elimination, Liv Morgan officially punched her ticket to WrestleMania.
