The women's Royal Rumble match was won by SmackDown's Bianca Belair. In the main event, Raw's Edge won the men's Royal Rumble match, marking his second overall Rumble win after last winning it in 2010, thus becoming the eighth two-time winner, the third wrestler to win it as the number one entrant, the fifth wrestler to win it as one of the two starting wrestlers, and the first wrestler to win it after being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Six matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. The men could choose to challenge for either Raw's WWE Championship, SmackDown's Universal Championship, or the NXT Championship, while the women had the choice between the Raw Women's Championship, the SmackDown Women's Championship, and the NXT Women's Championship. For the 2021 event, the winners of both the men's and women's matches received a choice of which championship to challenge for at WrestleMania 37. Traditionally, the Royal Rumble match winner receives a world championship match at that year's WrestleMania. It was the first Royal Rumble event held since the death of Pat Patterson, who created the Royal Rumble match. The event aired on pay-per-view (PPV) and the WWE Network and took place on January 31, 2021, from the WWE ThunderDome, hosted at Tropicana Field in St. It was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.
