The Royal Family of Team New Zealand is the first crew to be eliminated from World of Street Woman Fighter (WSWF).
The crew landed in the elimination round after losing the K-POP Mission, the final challenge before eliminations. In this mission, crews were paired up in head-to-head battles, with their scores determining who would be at risk. Royal Family was matched against AG Squad, representing Team Australia, and fell short with a score of 1,036 to AG Squad’s 1,241.
While AG Squad is made up of several strong dancers, this match-up stood out because of the personal history between some of the members. Kaea, Kyra, Kaleece and Ruthybaby — four dancers from AG Squad — are all former members of Royal Family. This made the K-POP Mission more than just a scoring round. It became a symbolic face-off between the older generation and the new generation of the same legacy crew.
Following the loss, Royal Family was sent to the elimination battle alongside Osaka Ojo Gang, representing Team Japan, who had also landed in the bottom two after losing their K-POP Mission to Motiv of Team USA, 781 to 881.
The elimination battle followed a best-of-five format — the first crew to win three rounds would remain in the competition. Royal Family, known worldwide for their clean choreography and bold stage presence, went head-to-head with Osaka Ojo Gang’s freestyle-heavy and battle-savvy style. Ojo Gang took the first two rounds, but Royal Family made a strong comeback by winning the next two and tying it at 2-2.
Everything came down to the final round, where crew leaders Ibuki (Osaka Ojo Gang) and Teesha (Royal Family) delivered high-energy solo performances. In the end, Ibuki claimed the win with a unanimous decision from all five judges, officially ending Royal Family’s run in the competition.
“This is definitely not the end for RF (Royal Family), and life goes on for us. We just move on to the next project,” said Isla, reflecting on their journey after the battle.
Royal Family entered WSWF not only as the representative of Team New Zealand, but as the most popular dance crew in the world. Known for their viral performances, signature formations, and championship legacy, many fans and fellow dancers viewed them as a strong contender for the finals. Their early elimination came as one of the most unexpected outcomes of the season.
World of Street Woman Fighter (WSWF) is an international all-female dance crew competition featuring top teams from around the world. It is a spin-off of Street Woman Fighter, which originally aired in South Korea with all-Korean crews in Season 1. With growing global interest, WSWF expanded to include six teams this season all from different countries.
WSWF now moves on to the highly anticipated Mega Crew Mission, where the remaining five teams take on large-scale stage performances. All mission videos are now available on The Choom YouTube channel.
