WWE Women’s Royal Rumble 2021: How Every Elimination Happened

There was only a 20 second difference between the male and female Rumbles on Sunday night - WWE booked the men's one to go 58:30, but the women's one topped it with a total time of 58:50. Eventual winner Bianca Belair went 56:52 of that, which is really quite incredible.

Bianca got to eliminate four other wrestlers in the bout too. Want to know how each of those eliminations happened? Well, this list has you covered. It examines all 29 of them (Belair-inspired or otherwise), and it provides an interesting snapshot of how WWE lays these matches out.

You wouldn't believe how many times workers were ousted using the same spot.

To be fair, there are only so many unique ways to toss someone over the top rope to the arena floor. So, bonus points go to to the likes of Carmella, Victoria, Alexa Bliss and a few others for making sure their eliminations stood out from the pack.

Spare a thought for Bayley though. WWE did her a huge disservice at the Rumble. That's a bit of a shame considering how big a part she plays in the division...

Shotzi Blackheart was first to go. She blocked a kick, then got pushed over the top by Shayna Baszler. The NXT star had earlier shot something at Billie Kay from her tank, so maybe she had it coming.

Shotzi wasn't booked to eliminate anyone else and only lasted 2:46 in the match. Expect her to play a bigger role in next year's Rumble. 2021 is going to be a massive year for this green-haired starlet.

Big things lie ahead.
