The 2021 Royal Rumble was a professional wrestling pay-per-view and WWE Network event produced by WWE for its Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. It took place on January 31, 2021, and was broadcast from the WWE ThunderDome, hosted at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. It was the 34th event under the Royal Rumble chronology. It was also the first Royal Rumble since the death of Pat Patterson, who created the Royal Rumble match.
Six matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, Edge won the men's Royal Rumble match for a second time, last winning it in 2010, thus becoming the seventh two-time winner, the third wrestler to win it as the number one entrant, and the first wrestler to win it after being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. The women's Royal Rumble match was won by Bianca Belair. In other prominent matches, Roman Reigns defeated Kevin Owens in a Last Man Standing match to retain the Universal Championship and in the opening bout, Drew McIntyre defeated Goldberg to retain the WWE Championship.
