She's competed in six main card matches at the Royal Rumble, and she's either participated in the Women's Royal Rumble match, or she's been involved in a Women's Championship match. The Man has had some memorable outings at the Royal Rumble, but not all of her matches at the showpiece event were memorable.

6 Becky Lynch Vs. Doudrop - 2022
Becky Lynch defended the Raw Women's Championship against Doudrop at the 2022 Royal Rumble. Both women were heels so no one was cheering for either woman. The in-ring action was solid but the crowd wasn't into the bout.

The Man took the fight to Asuka, and she was the aggressor throughout their contest. They got the show off to a great start, and despite Lynch's efforts, she failed to become a three-time SmackDown Women's Champion with Asuka forcing Lynch to submit to the Asuka Lock.
