MELINA

[{"selector":"#anim-e4ff6178-f866-425c-b771-3199f3d19ea0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(3.8461538461538507%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] 1

Melina and Sasha Banks kicked off the match in the opening positions, and it was Banks who came out on top when she was able to tip Melina over the top rope, and she then fell off the apron. This happened a while before the next competitor was set to come out to take part in the match and several replays of the elimination made it appear as though Melina got caught on the top rope and then slipped onto the floor.

RONDA ROUSEY

Ronda Rousey returned to WWE in-ring action at Royal Rumble. As Rousey was making her way to the ring, her pyro managed to catch the WrestleMania sign, and the crew was then forced to evacuate an area of seating and then tackle the issue before it was able to affect the show. There were also a few botches during the match from Rousey as she tried to shake off the ring rust.

NATALYA

[{"selector":"#anim-5e211fae-f14b-4347-941a-7506c5535bcd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(3.8461538461538507%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] 3

Natalya is a veteran in WWE. So botches from her are least expected but however one such mishap occurred during the Women's Rumble match. Nattie managed to injure herself on the ring ropes at one point in the match when she got her head stuck and Charlotte continued with the planned move. Even though the Rumble was full of botches, Natalya's stood out the most.

MARYSE

[{"selector":"#anim-a8f0ea5b-febf-4a95-945a-cc988f387095 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(3.8461538461538507%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] 4

Maryse hasn't stepped inside a WWE ring in several years, and the ring rust was apparent when the former Divas Champion was unable to bump any of the moves that Phoenix threw at her. Maryse also had several wardrobe malfunctions throughout the match and spent the vast majority of her time in the ring pulling her attire up or down in order to cover herself up.

KOFI KINGSTON

[{"selector":"#anim-e3d3ec03-e7c9-4b10-b9b7-f1257f7f2d55 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(3.8461538461538507%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] 5

Kofi Kingston has defied the odds in the Royal Rumble match several times in the past, but the former WWE Champion was unable to continue that run. Kingston was thrown out of the ring by Kevin Owens and looked to hold on to the barricade to avoid elimination, but both of his feet touched the floor, and WWE officials noted that he had been eliminated. It was disappointing to not have a Kofi moment at the Rumble.
