1. Historic Match Being Planned For 2018, Top WWE Star Passes Ric Flair’s WWF Milestone
– At next year’s Royal Rumble 2018 PPV, WWE is planning to make history at the 30th anniversary of the Royal Rumble PPV – WWE officials are planning to do the first ever Women’s Royal Rumble match. No word available as of now regarding how many women will be a part of this match. WWE has been hell bent on making history with their Women’s division. WWE officials booked the first ever Women’s Hell in a Cell match last year and ended up doing the first ever Women’s Money In The Bank Ladder match this year (and doing another MITB match with women later on SmackDown Live).
