“I would love to be in the Royal Rumble, I guess we will have to see. It’s definitely one of my favorite PPVs, especially growing up,” she told WWE Espanol during an interview,

“All the surprises are always my favorite, 2020’s Royal Rumble was one of my favorites because Edge made his return and I was a big Edge fan growing up and I am still a big Edge fan now, so that was a cool moment to see.

“I would love to be in the Royal Rumble, I guess we will never know until we get there. But I know they do have some open spots. I know a lot of women have already been announced, but there is room for some surprises, so hopefully, I am one of them.”

Cora said she’d love to compete against SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair for her title if “I were in the Royal Rumble and won it” and that it’s one of her dream matches.
