[Denver]

WWE are planning to announce the historic first-ever women’s Royal Rumble match, SunSport understands.

Both the Raw and SmackDown Live rosters have been rocked this week with the additions of a host of female superstars.

Former Divas champion Paige stormed back into WWE after a year-long absence on Monday night.

And she was accompanied on Raw by two debuting NXT prospects Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose, and the trio laid a vicious beatdown on Sasha Banks, Mickie James, Bayley and then Alexa Bliss.

If those additions were not enough, the following night on SmackDown produced fireworks of its own in the women’s division.

The NXT invasion continued as Ruby Riot, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan attacked Naomi and Becky Lynch backstage.

And now SunSport can reveal that the influx of females into the female roster is building up to the historic first-ever women’s Rumble match on January 28 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

The level of female talent currently within the WWE is unrivalled anywhere on the planet and it has enjoyed a huge rise over recent years.
