#1 Edge and Bianca Belair won their respective WWE Royal Rumble matches despite being one of the earliest entrants
Trending
Edge and Bianca Belair were both highly-favored to win the Men's and Women's WWE Royal Rumble matches, respectively.
Edge entered first with Randy Orton, and The Rated-R Superstar managed to outlast 29 other Superstars for almost an hour. Bianca Belair entered third in the Women's Royal Rumble, and she set a record for the longest time in a Women's WWE Royal Rumble match.

Both victories were highly-emotional moments for the stars involved.
This year's Women's Royal Rumble featured some memorable sequences that may stick with the fans for a long time, which is quite an accomplishment in the ThunderDome. While the match could have been a little more coherent, the "final three" sequence between Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley was absolutely excellent.
Rhea Ripley looks more than ready to become a part of RAW or SmackDown on the Road to WrestleMania.
The Men's Royal Rumble match felt like a standard affair, for the most part. While it was more coherent than the Women's Royal Rumble, there was no chance for it to live up to the 2020 Men's Royal Rumble match, which has since then become an iconic part of Royal Rumble history.
Daniel Bryan was the ultimate fan-favorite heading into the match, but Edge's Royal Rumble victory brought his personal journey to a full-circle. For those upset that Bryan did not win the WWE Royal Rumble this year, it is important to remember that he could very well challenge Roman Reigns at WrestleMania if Edge chooses to face Drew McIntyre at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
It's no secret that a few pre-Royal Rumble announcements killed some momentum at the time of the event. But under the circumstances, WWE managed to put on an entertaining pay-per-view.
