The 2024 Royal Rumble is set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, featuring high-profile matches for both men and women. Former WWE Champion Big E has identified a member of Judgment Day, other than the favored Liv Morgan, who could claim victory in this pivotal event. As the Royal Rumble signals the official start of the Road to WrestleMania, the winner earns the chance to challenge a champion of their choice at WrestleMania.
Big E recently shared on RAW Recap that Roxanne Perez, also known as The Prodigy, might emerge as a breakout star by winning the Women’s Royal Rumble this year. Noting her record for the longest time spent last year in the Rumble match, Big E expressed optimism about Perez’s chances to make a significant leap forward.
“You know what, I’m gonna go with the prodigy. Well, what was it last year that she went an hour in the Rumble? A very, very talented woman who I think I love when the Rumble is a lot of people who are just really talented, but you’re not expecting that this is the year, but you see them take that leap. I think this is the year that Roxanne Perez takes a big leap.”

Recent Match Highlights on WWE RAW Featuring Liv Morgan
This week on WWE RAW, Liv Morgan teamed up with Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez in a six-woman tag team match against Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, and Stephanie Vaquer representing Judgment Day. The contest was intense and chaotic, with the Judgment Day members attempting to dominate through double-team tactics. Despite these efforts, the babyfaces countered effectively, keeping themselves in the fight throughout the match.
The climax came when Rhea Ripley executed her signature move, the Riptide, on Roxanne Perez to secure the victory for her team. This match further underscored the competitive tension building ahead of the Royal Rumble event, especially among members of Judgment Day.
Implications for the Upcoming Royal Rumble and WrestleMania
The Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia represents a crucial milestone for WWE superstars on their path to WrestleMania. While Liv Morgan remains a prominent favorite for the Women’s Royal Rumble, Big E’s prediction about Roxanne Perez suggests the possibility of a surprising upset within Judgment Day. Such outcomes could reshape the dynamics leading into WrestleMania, where rivalries and championship opportunities will intensify.
As the Road to WrestleMania unfolds, fans can expect heightened competition with potential breakout performances from promising stars like Perez. The buildup to the event continues to create a tense yet hopeful atmosphere for contenders aiming to make their mark on WWE’s biggest annual stage.
