WWE Royal Rumble 2021: 5 Things we learned 

#2 Both Royal Rumble winners made WWE history

The 2021 Royal Rumble was the first-ever to take place without a live crowd in the history of the event. In addition, history was also made with the winners of this year's Royal Rumble matches.

In the Women's Royal Rumble, Bianca Belair entered at No. 3 and lasted all the way until the end. The SmackDown Superstar was this year's Iron Woman, and the first woman to earn that accolade and also win the Royal Rumble simultaneously. As well as this, Bianca Belair is the first African-American woman to win the Royal Rumble.

Edge also became one of only a handful of men to win the Royal Rumble from the No. 1 spot and was the Iron Man of the match as well as the winner, which is a rare feat. Interestingly, Edge's second win was on the 11th anniversary of his first Royal Rumble win back in 2010.

For the first time since the Women's Royal Rumble was established, both the Iron Man and Iron Woman managed to win their respective matches, with both stars outlasting any other competitor on the night.
