Lash Legend’s Royal Rumble Success and Tag Team Ambitions

Lash Legend’s performance in the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble match, even as not resulting in a win, was notably successful as she achieved the most eliminations overall. Among those eliminated were WWE Hall of Famers The Bella Twins and 14-time world champion Charlotte Flair.

Legend expressed that eliminating such legendary opponents felt appropriate, stating, “Like, duh,” and adding, “No, but seriously, being able to operate with these girls, these future Hall of Famers, these Hall of Famers, it’s just like, okay. The things that I know that I have, confidence in myself and what I bring to the table, this just solidifies having these opportunities and doing these things and being able to work with these girls.” Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez

Legend further emphasized her pride in her “powerhouseness,” stating, “So just being able to be in the Royal Rumble and having the most eliminations this year, it means a lot given that I seize pride in my powerhouseness. That’s my strength and that’s what I’m known for. I’m known to be boujee. I’m known to be a bully. So yeah, I got to represent. I got to do what I got to do.” Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez

In addition to The Bella Twins and Flair, Legend likewise eliminated current Women’s Tag Team Champion IYO SKY and former TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace. SKY is also a former WWE Women’s World Champion.

Immediately after eliminating SKY, Legend herself was eliminated from the Royal Rumble by Rhea Ripley, SKY’s tag team partner. Following this, Legend and Nia Jax challenged SKY and Ripley for the Women’s Tag Team Championships on “WWE SmackDown.”
