Bianca Belair Wins WWE Women's Royal Rumble 2021
Bianca Belair outlasted 29 others to win the WWE Women's Royal Rumble 2021.
Bianca Belair has won the WWE women's Royal Rumble 2021.
Entering at number three, Belair lasted close to an hour in the ring, entering an outstanding performance en route to making the final four with Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, and Natalya. When Nattie was dispatched with, a well-booked closing sequence began, as WWE used Flair to generate anxiety that Belair or Ripley might not win, with Bianca and Rhea teaming up on 'The Queen' to eventually get her out of the ring.
Belair and Ripley fought with honour, forging a gentlewoman's agreement not to go after each other while both were laying on the apron. The momentum then swung back and forth several times before Belair bundled Ripley over the top rope, punching her WrestleMania ticket.
Sasha Banks defeated Carmella to retain the SmackDown Women's Championship earlier in the night, so Banks vs. Belair could be the WrestleMania 37 match. This is yet to be confirmed.
The 56 minutes Bianca spent in the ring are a new women's Royal Rumble record. Her post-match promo was teary-eyed and emotional, and she looked every bit the megastar she was born to be from start to finish. A stellar showing.
