The Royal Rumble match was created by WWE Hall of Famer Pat Patterson, and the match was originally tested at a house show in October 1987 before making its televised debut at the inaugural Royal Rumble event in 1988. For 2021, the men and women could choose which world championship to challenge for at WrestleMania 37 the men could choose Raw's WWE Championship, SmackDown's Universal Championship, or the NXT Championship, while the women could choose the Raw Women's Championship, SmackDown Women's Championship, or NXT Women's Championship. Traditionally, the winner of the match earns a world championship match at that year's WrestleMania. The Royal Rumble match generally features 30 wrestlers. It featured wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions with a select few NXT wrestlers and WWE veterans also appearing in both the men's and women's Royal Rumble matches. The 2021 event was the 34th Royal Rumble and was scheduled to be held on January 31, 2021. It is named after the Royal Rumble match, a modified battle royal in which the participants enter at timed intervals instead of all beginning in the ring at the same time. It is one of the promotion's original four pay-per-views, along with WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series, dubbed the "Big Four". The Royal Rumble is an annual gimmick pay-per-view (PPV) and WWE Network event produced every January by WWE since 1988. The event also featured the official in-ring return as well as the final appearance of Christian in WWE, who had last wrestled in a match in March 2014, and later signed with rival promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW). In other prominent matches, Roman Reigns defeated Kevin Owens in a Last Man Standing match to retain SmackDown's Universal Championship and in the opening bout, Drew McIntyre defeated Goldberg to retain Raw's WWE Championship. The women's Royal Rumble match was won by SmackDown's Bianca Belair. In the main event, WWE Hall of Famer Edge won the men's Royal Rumble match and was later said to be part of Raw, marking his second overall Royal 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 his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. Six matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. This was the last Royal Rumble in which three championships were an option for the Royal Rumble winner, as well as the last Royal Rumble in which the NXT Championship and NXT Women's Championship was an eligible option for that winner, as in September 2021, the NXT brand reverted to being WWE's developmental territory. 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 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.
