What Is WWE's Backstage Mood Like After Royal Rumble 2021?
WWE locker-room morale update after successful Royal Rumble 2021 pay-per-view.
WWE made a good start to their 2021 pay-per-view run on Sunday, with the Royal Rumble drawing largely positive reviews from fans and critics alike, as Edge and Bianca Belair rose to win the titular battle royals and punch their tickets for WrestleMania 37 title shots.
Per WrestleVotes, this good mood was reflected backstage:-
WWE intends on having around 25,000 to 30,000 fans in attendance for WrestleMania 37 this April. The company has invited dribbles of crowd members back to the Performance Center on various occasions throughout the coronavirus pandemic, but nothing on this scale. If all goes well, and the situation doesn't worsen, this year's 'Showcase of the Immortals' is shaping up to be WWE's most-attended event in 13 months.
The fluidity of the ongoing health crisis means this could all change between now and 10/11 April, however.
Nonetheless, it's good to hear that the locker-room was buoyant at Royal Rumble 2021. Edge and Belair were popular winners and both Rumbles appeared to go down well with fans, with bouts like Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens and the relief of Goldberg's WWE Title loss to Drew McIntyre also resonating.
