#3 Impressed at WWE Royal Rumble: Bianca Belair

Bianca Belair picked a career-defining victory at WWE Royal Rumble

WWE Royal Rumble 2021 witnessed Bianca Belair make history at the pay-per-view when she won the women’s match to grab a WrestleMania opportunity. She was the third entrant in the Women’s Royal Rumble Match and eliminated four Superstars before eventually winning the match. Throughout the match, she brawled with top Superstars and threw the likes of Bayley and Rhea Ripley over the top rope.

While the overall match was decent, it was Bianca Belair’s in-ring exchange with Rhea Ripley at the end that had everyone talking. Both Superstars looked extremely strong inside the ring and were involved in a memorable bout at WWE Royal Rumble. In the end, Belair managed to knock Ripley over the top rope to win her WrestleMania opportunity.

Having Bianca Belair win the Women’s Royal Rumble was a great decision. She had a lot of momentum on her side and the creative desperately needed to bring a fresh face into the title picture. Not to forget, Belair also became the first black person to win the WWE Royal Rumble match in over twenty years. She is now expected to challenge Sasha Banks for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania.
