Nia Jax inserted herself in the men’s Royal Rumble after taking out R-Truth who was #30. She then went on to eliminate Mustafa Ali and was eventually teamed up on by Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio and Dolph Ziggler.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Nia competing against the men in the match could be a way for WWE to eventually move forward with intergender matches.
”I think the idea is they want to slowly bring in because this is the first time that a woman has taken punishment from a guy and if you’re going to do it the first them then you do it with a really big woman that’s bigger than most of the guys. So that way people are gonna go, ‘It’s not really… the woman’s really big.’ So when you ease it in that’s one of the things they like to do.”
Things are changing in the New Era of WWE. So we might be seeing more matches of this type soon enough.
