Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned WWE's plan for the upcoming women's Royal Rumble was kept so tightly under wraps that even the competitors were left in the dark.

Multiple sources tell us that the women in the match were NOT given a heads up as to what Stephanie McMahon would be announcing on Raw, so their reactions afterward were genuine.

We're told only a handful of people were in the know and most on the production team were kayfabed up until the announcement went down, which was obviously done to keep the news from leaking.

Watch the video below to see Editor-in-Chief Ryan Satin list the surprise appearances he'd like to happen in the upcoming women's Rumble and sound off in the comments below listing yours.
