The 2021 WWE "Royal Rumble" pay-per-view is in the books, and this year's winners Edge and Bianca Belair are in the pro-wrestling history books.
Belair's victory, while impressive, comes as no real surprise. She was the favorite to win the Women's Royal Rumble Match, according to online sports book Bovada. The betting website had Edge facing the fifth-best odds in the men's match, which served as the evening's main event.
Edge ran the table from the No. 1 (of 30) spot. Belair entered her match in the third position.
