NXT Star Wasn't Originally Planned For Royal Rumble (Patreon)

The Women's Royal Rumble match had plenty of surprises, as they announced only 16 entrants ahead of time. WWE went beyond and had additional names on hand in the event that some of the entrants couldn't make it. One of those names that couldn't make it was Mia Yim, now known as Reckoning. Fightful learned that Toni Storm actually wasn't originally planned for the Rumble match, and ended up serving as an alternate when Yim couldn't make it. Kacy Catanzaro, who was also at the venue, was another alternate WWE had ready in case someone else went down.
