R-Truth found himself as a competitor in the Women’s Royal Rumble match. The Royal Rumble kicked off the show with the 30-women Royal Rumble match, and there were plenty of surprises in store for those in the audience and watching at home. Not only did Naomi make her WWE return, but we also got the official WWE in-ring debut of Jade Cargill. All of the excitement must have gotten to R-Truth, however, because he somehow made his way to the ring and actually got himself eliminated in the process, which is about on par for an R-Truth experience.

Valhalla of the Viking Raiders was the #24 entrant in the Women’s Royal Rumble. As Valhalla made her way slowly to the ring, R-Truth trotted down the aisle to pass her and take her spot. Once R-Truth slid into the ring he was met by Nia Jax. R-Truth looked around confused, probably thinking he was entering the men’s Rumble match. Nia then grabbed R-Truth during his confusion and tossed him over the top rope to the floor, essentially “eliminating” him even though he wasn’t officially a part of the match.
