Victoria ❤️

[@Mr_SeanHill]

Her royal rumble video having almost 1 million views and one of the most viewed videos from the event! 😩💖💅🏽🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@PortiaParfum]

" I ain't the lady to mess with WOOOP " when I heard that theme song I cried and had so many memories from my childhood come back to me!💎💎💕💕

[@milleniadecade9563]

Same here! Especially with the upbeat version😭😭

[@PortiaParfum]

@@milleniadecade9563 I loved both theme songs 😭😭😭 !!! Just want her to be in another wrestling game

[@michaelvargas5144]

They Were Both Incredible And I Liked Mickie James Interaction With Charlotte Flair Queen VS Queen That Should Be Good 👍👍👍❤❤❤

[@samrh3181]

My favourite moments were Lisa returning, Alicia Fox returning, Jillian returning and you Mickie, honestly made my day seeing people I grew up watching.

[@Ruben-ui3yu]

My favorite part of the Royal rumble was seeing Victoria make her return. SHE CLEANED HOUSE 💪🏽 and her strut down the ramp! 🔥 she deserved it!

[@vfan1243]

Victoria and Mickie should become a tag team in the womens tag division!

[@spluddrott]

It would be badass and bring some much needed skill to that division

[@itsjustian8484]

Team GAWgeous

[@PADILLAMONEY]

My favorite moment was literally Victoria returning, a high pitch scream for her ❤️ as well as the little comedy team up between Jillian and Billie

[@Matthew0707]

I screamed and cried when Lisa came on I was so excited

[@MrCallybee123]

When Victoria's theme dropped 😱. "I ain't the lady to mess with" 🎵 I SCREAMED!!! I loved seeing both you lady's out there doing your thing and loved how you both wore red. ♥️♥️😍😍 #ANDNEW #TAGTEAMCHAMPIONS 🙉💋

[@wilsonchadbenitez3021]

I'm getting emotional listening to this. Victoria was my favorite character when I was growing up. Her Rumble return was the most impactful one in all my years of watching wrestling!

[@benjaminkoch4142]

Lovely and emotional show guys! Have to take a moment to say that RR was one of the best rides in forever. Lisa, you're one of the most influential women in the biz... you're a legend to the fans even if they only book you as a "surpise" ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@lamb4life448]

I love that Mickie had more than one iconic staredowns with superstars during the royal rumble. First with Trish then Charlotte. It shows Mickie is a real star! And one of the best moments in the rumble for me was Victoria's return 'cos I've waited for it eversince they created women's royal rumble. Honestly, she should've been in the first one. I saw her tearing up on her way to the ring and during the quick staredown with Bayley. I kinda cried too when I realized that and Mickie made me cry too because of her message to Lisa. Aww. 💕

[@dandieabbott5409]

I went Absolutely Crazy when Lisa-Marie came out as Victoria. Literally Crazy Crazy. I was so Happy For Lisa-Marie and So Happy To See Lisa-Marie back in a WWE Ring. Absolutely Loved it. Lillian Garcia said in a Interview with Lisa-Marie that You will get a call be back from WWE and You said no I don’t think so but You did get that call and I’m Extremely Happy and everything for Lisa-Marie. Mickey James You was Awesome As well. Love You All Ladies. ❤️😘

[@mrdjking26]

Lisa made us all cry! We were so happy for her! Mickie came through and showed out! Both of you are legends and we love you❤️

[@itsjustian8484]

I'm watching this episode again, ...and you've got me tearing up again too!

[@GAWTVShow]

Thanks for coming back to watch again Ian

[@itsjustian8484]

@@GAWTVShow I love y'all sooooooooo much. I'm loyal to a fault. Lol ❤️❤️❤️

[@Mr_SeanHill]

How Mickie reassures Lisa is just the most amazing thing! 💖

[@visagewrestler1799]

Favourite moment of the rumble had to be Lisa's return. I cant tell you enough, how many times I've expected to hear that iconic entrance music since the very first women's rumble. Also, she was able to have an ICONIC elimination with Shayna too. If we don't see this icon go into the HoF soon, well riot!. Love you all x

[@GreenPie69]

Have loved all the times Mickey has come back recently, 💚 this years rumble included. But me and my guy popped so hard for Victoria!!! and were devastated when we read that it was a one off. We had an idea that you two should come back as a tag team!!! 😍🥰💚 love you guys.

[@MrRezikkk]

my favorite women's royal rumble moment was Victoria's return 🕷 I was waiting for this moment since the first woman rumble was announced, Lisa is my all-time favorite wrestler she is was the reason why I started watching wresting 12 years ago !!! I'm very happy for her hope we will see the HOF announcement and WWE Network original about her soon !❤️

[@revolutiontoevolution3127]

My fav moments were Jillian Hall and Victoria returns

[@Jay-nr6mr]

I was so happy to see the return of the Legend Victoria finally getting the respect she deserves if there was a real crowd they would have went wild i would have loved to hear there reaction

[@ToYoungToHandle2y2h]

My favorite moment was the return of Victoria, Alicia and Jillian. To see two women who were workhorses of the women division during my era (my childhood) was amazing. When we think of legends people are so quick to throw out the Trish Stratus’, the Lita’s and even the Mickie James’ but we forget the girls who were busting their butts off with them such as Victoria, Jillian, Alicia, Gail, so many more I could name. So seeing the women return and have their shine was definitely the highlight of that night for me.

[@ultimatesportstalk]

I absolutely lost it when I saw Victoria's name come up on the big screen! When I saw Victoria and Mickie, I was selfishly hoping that Val would appear in some way so we could have the GAW trifecta at the Royal Rumble! But to see her back, even doing the hair pull throwback, like Val said we (the fans) HAVE BEEN WAITING!!!! I love it. Thank you so much for having the courage to come back. #10 in 2021 was the moment of the night for me. I won't remember much else from the event, but Victoria's return is etched in my brain! THANK YOU!

[@daverua]

Victoria’s return was definitely a HUGE pop for me! I was MOD’ing a live reaction stream and people were sounding off with joy for her! Much love ❤️

[@tnawcwvictoria]

I ❤️ GAW TV @Valerie Wyndham @Mickie James @Lisa Marie Varon are AWESOME! God Bless You All SO Very Much

[@hakang.7456]

These women are incredible athletes, fighters and icons. This royal rumble was something special. Couldn't pick a single moment, because everyone tried to make it as special as possible! :D

[@jimmynoir]

My favorite moment was Peyton Royce doing a version of Widow’s peak and THEN Lisa Showing us how’s it’s REALLY done!

[@Tempest1816]

Thank you, Mickie for telling Lisa what she means to us fans!! When I met her at WrestleCon 2019, I let her know I missed her and loved her. 🥰 She’s such a sweetheart.

[@manueldesantiago3517]

The best part of the royal rumble was the return of Victoria, Mickie and Charlotte fight, and the return of Carlito!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@PudstarInc]

My favorite moment was when Peyton Royce did her version of the Widows Peak, only for the master Victoria to come and show her how its really done.

[@matthado]

Lisa returning was definintly one of my favourtie moments. I was also really happy for Alicia Fox returning and winning a championship, becoming the first ever person, male or femlae, to win a championship during a Royal Rumble match. So I'd say my favourite moments was to see Lisa and Foxy back in a WWE ring!

[@shakapolko]

Favourite moments: Victoria (Lisa) returning; Mickie and Charlotte come face to face; and, the comedy moment of the night between Billie Kay and Jillian Hall (Billie and Jilli 😆) Great episode! Hope you’re back on Raw/Smackdown soon, Mickie...😁

[@nathannewley355]

Best moment of this year’s Royal Rumble.. without a doubt! VICTORIA’S RETURN😄👏🏻

[@realartist_eric2365]

Lisa, u were dope ! I had been mad that you weren't recognized and put into the hall of fame, plus not in the Royal Rumble before now. I was incredibly suprised and honored to FINALLY see u in this year's show. THANK U! I am a BIG fan. Mickie, Torie, and Jillian are also three of my all time favorites as well.

[@KatieJ]

My favorite moment from the 2021 Rumble was definitely seeing Jillian come back. She deserved it 100%.

[@jerbearschannel2208]

You ladies were the inspiration for all of the us thank you.🙏

[@theaaliyahkylie]

im so glad victoria knows how much ppl love her, she really was apart of my childhood as much as trish and lita were. she deserves so much. such a freaking doll. i love all those women, they dont understand how much they gave life to me as an LGBTQ child lmao

[@Mr_SeanHill]

My favourite moment - the second the music hit with “I AIN’T THE LADY TO MESS WITH” I was GAGGED / SHOOK and twisted! 💖🙌🏼

[@StephenLynx8492]

Loved seeing both of you ladies! You still have so much energy and could teach the young ladies a thing or two in the ring!

[@lexmanava8596]

Victoria was the best moment!!!! Always was a fan, I never watch TNA but I watched it when micky and Victoria went there. Huge fan of the women’s evolution ! I wish Beth Phoenix was in the rumble and shared the ring with Victoria 🤩 huge fan all the way from New Zealand 🇳🇿 LESSSGGOOOOO 🥳

[@ShadesOfKay]

Thank u ladies for coming back!!Mickie I hope in the future you'll have a match with Charlotte Flair cause we loved that face off at the rumble..And Lisa what a return I mean you killed it and the moment with Peyton both hitting the widow's peak was the cherry on top..Love u so much from Greece Andreas 🥰

[@daniellebrackett4905]

Watching a year later and bawling for Lisa Marie. Big fan, saw one of her last WWE matches live in STL and go back to the strength of ladies like her being one of the few women in tech in my corp.

[@vanessafrmtx1687]

Amazing ladies! Women's royal rumble was epic!!

[@zayybarnes7542]

Monica Barnes love you mickiejames your return at the Royal rumble was awesome and you are amazing👍

[@tonylorusso23]

Best part of the rumble was seeing my favorites from Ruthless Aggression era all back in the rumbles matches...Carlito, Edge, Christian & of course Mickie & Lisa 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@rafyprz]

Deff my fave part pf the rumble was seeing the Ruthless Agression woman back on the ring. Just brought so many memories and moments to enjoy. Love them all 💕💕💕

[@victorperry2538]

My favorite moment was seeing Lisa return. I'll never forget seeing her for the first time ever, smashing a glass in the back of Christy Hemme's head. That moment solidified me a fan of wrestling. I went back and watched every single match of hers, and found my own confidence in myself just by the way she portrayed herself in the ring. Not to mention, her name, Victoria is the female version of my name Victor. I knew I'd be a Widow's Peak Freak for life. Her return to the Royal Rumble happened perfectly, she looked amazing, performed like she hadn't missed a beat, and showed everyone that "She Ain't The Lady To Mess With."

[@JCorona5]

Favorite moment (which made my 7 year old heart full) was hearing the, “I ain’t the lady to mess with” music start and watching Victoria walk down the ramp.❤️❤️❤️

[@MDanc3]

For me it was Victoria! After the tease last year, when a fan posted her titantron and MVP’s but only MVP came out. I was sad, because I love me some Victoria. Fun fact. I met Victoria at WWF NY when she was powerbombed through the table by the GoodFather, and she came to me quickly. and I told her you took that bump better then the boys. You’ll be big in the WWF and she hugged me. So to have that moment with her and see her FINALLY return this year was everything to me.

[@Angelika226]

I love Vals humour so much, I’m in tears at times. I absolutely love these videos,I can’t wait to join live. You ladies are amazing!! 🥰

[@Angelika226]

Lisa you deserve it! You are a queen 👑

[@truemickiefan9844]

My favorite moment of the royal rumble was seeing my favorite wrestler Mickie james on my birthday I have been a fan of her my whole life and I was so happy seeing her in a wrestling ring again will always be my favorite wrestler ever

[@genesmith8723]

I loved the ladies royal rumble. It was the best. I love seeing Lisa and Mickie. I loved Edge winning as well Miss Belair winning too. Loved this show every week. Loved the Al Snow midget story! God bless you all! Gene

[@amercer054]

My favourite moment of the Royal Rumble 2021 has to be Lisa giving Peyton the REAL Widow’s Peak after she gave her own version and showing her how to do it properly, it was beautiful!

[@jw3670]

My favourite moment (I know it’s going to be a common answer) but it has to be hearing “I AINT THE LADY TO MESS WITH” I actually screamed, cried and smiled in the matter of like 3 seconds hahaha! You guys don’t understand how happy that moment made me! Thank you for it x

[@chloechisholm8913]

My favourite moments in the royal rumble were Victoria returning, she looked incredible and seeing how she got so emotional reflecting back made me so happy to see how passionate she is about wrestling. Also loved seeing Jillian returning, did not expect that either, she looked great. Also the moments between Charlotte and Mickie made me hopeful we might see a feud in the future, I think that would be entertaining. The winners of both rumbles (Edge and Bianca) made me so happy, so well deserved. Overall a great Royal Rumble especially during these hard times, enjoyed every minute ♥️

[@SeanpaulProductions]

Favourite part of rumble without a doubt - Lisa's (Victoria's) return. I've been waiting for that moment for so long!!

[@markfarleyauthor]

Women's Rumble was match of the night. Great insight too!

[@yabadabing]

Overall apart from the first rumble simply because it was the first, this year's rumble was hands down the best. The action and the respect that was shown to all the women, especially for the legends to return and to not just be a single 'look who's here before I'm eliminated' moment but to actually be used and given the chance to shine was an absolute bright spot throughout the entire night.

[@ericgomez4323]

So iconic seeing Victoria return!!! If only the live crowd was there she would have got such a massive POP! My favorite wrestler (along with Edge) of all time!

[@tajhowie7672]

Great job at the Tumble ladies! Glad Lisa had her moment! She really deserved it and more! Hope to see both her and Mickie more in the ring in the future!

[@Tornado2KTV]

It’s so crazy that Lisa doesn’t know how much the fans have missed her and loved her!

[@Missbaddie93]

This was the best I was so happy that Lisa was able to come back and kick some ass always a pleasure seeing mickie wrestle but I was so happy Lisa got to return and I love vals fashion 💖 you ladies are amazing 🌈💕

[@TwistedXMatt]

so happy to see Victoria back and getting the recognition she deserved!! screaming at the TV when she hit the widows peak ugh iconic! 💜

[@its_ellajay]

My favorite moment of the 2021 Royal Rumble was truthfully that magical encounter between Mickie & Charlotte!

[@GaymingAndStuff]

I love these women so much. I cried and jumped for joy seeing both Victoria and Mickie in the Rumble!

[@tomocallaghan7571]

It had to be the return of all the legends! Victoria, Jillian, torrie, Mickie and fox! I’m so glad they gave you all time to shine!!

[@williamvanglahn3660]

I was so shocked Lisa aka Victoria returned to the Royal Rumble and it was well deserved and loved by fans across the world and it was a long time coming and hopefully its not the last time we see her. These moments for past female wrestler's should continue to happen to pay respect to them and show them that there past efforts is what helped bring the womens division to were it is today and without them the womens division wouldn't be where it is. Hopefully wwe has learned from there past mistakes including the sad and tragic death of Chyna that you should honor your legends before its too late and give the fans what they want because at the end of the day thats what it is all about..The Fans! not wrestling politics. Such a fan of this show and episode in general.

[@Tatinstein]

Favorite part has got to be Victoria and Jillian’s return. Seeing Jillian again made me so happy (I wish I could say the same hearing her sing again lol). The moment I heard “I Aint The Lady To Mess With” hit, I got soooo emotional. I have been waiting for it for forever. And of course, my all time favorite, MICKIE JAMES. It’s weird because I knew she wouldn’t win the rumble but I kept hoping that maybe she would. Her elimination hurt me so much even though I knew she was gonna get eliminated eventually. I’m glad she was able to nail her swing from the corner because usually she gets eliminated when she attempts to hit that move. I do hope Mickie wins the Rumble in the future and she retires as a champion in Wrestlemania. Aside from that, maybe Mickie and Victoria could take on the Tag Team Titles!

[@angelgreypadilla6717]

Seeing mickey and Victoria on my screen as a kid was amazing , but seeing them almost 15 years later with a beer in my hand, omg 😱😭 just so grateful and happy I still get to see these legends and satisfy my inner child . Luv u guuys!

[@angelbarrios1378]

Love all of these ladies !

[@KingTJ97]

Omg I made it with the fan’s reaction vid now I’m crying again hope to see more of you in WWE now I can’t stop crying thanks a lot queen 👸🏼 and welcome home

[@Foreignboy1]

Hands down, when I saw Jilian and Victoria enter the rumble I lost my s*** . Just based on the fact that I never thought I’d see them inside the ring again 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Mickie. Legend. No words needed anyways. Val killing it per usual

[@luismercado6876]

Great show. Love you ladies.

[@MyKLP73]

[@edgartolico-mendoza9990]

You deserve it Lisa (Victoria) I got chills when you returned!

[@CWhite-tv3hu]

I love GAWTV! My favorite moment of 2021 Royal Rumble is definitely Victoria’s return, Billie and Jillie, and Alicia Fox winning 24/7 Championship

[@draculasdaughter36]

Hello! Seeing Lisa' return and watching her kick ass!

[@edgehead7389]

As a 20 plus year fan of the business. I was happy to see Victoria ! I was driving around screaming “WTF” in LA traffic!!!

[@RachelDarmetko89]

Lisa returning was my favorite hands down. She was/is my favorite wrestler from “The Golden Era”.

[@focusx77]

As a LISA/VICTORIA/TARA fan since the beginning! This has been a very emotional and validating episode in terms of Lisa and her contribution to Womens Wrestling! #Legend

[@BobbyMitchellDX]

My favorite moment from the Royal Rumble was definitely the surprise returns. Especially Victoria's & the Edge & Christian reunion.

I wanted Victoria to return during a live crowd. The noise in the arena would be insane. When I heard the theme song... oh my goodness, ALL. THE. MEMORIES. QUEEN!!!
