GOOD EVENING FROM FLORIDA
Welcome to our live coverage of the 2021 WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View event at the Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Of course, the home of the Tampa Bay Rays is going to be empty due to coronavirus safety measures but tonight promises immense excitement as it will feature arguably professional wrestling’s second most entertaining show of the season.
It’s that time of year when 30 men and 30 women battle it out and the winner goes on to compete for a title opportunity at WrestleMania 37, which is scheduled to take place as a two-part event once more on April 10–11 at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
Hall of Famer Goldberg returns to action to take on WWE Champion and Britain’s own Drew McIntyre for the title in what promises to be a real nail-biter as no one really wants to see the WCW legend going over the Scottish bruiser.
Universal Champion Roman Reigns defends against Kevin Owens in a Last Man Standing Match, or otherwise the most frustrating formality of the night as there is no way The Tribal Chief is getting dethroned tonight.
WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Charlotte Flair and Asuka, who is also the RAW Women’s Champion, will put their belts on the line against Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax in a clash that will have major repercussions ahead of the WrestleMania booking.
Oh, and SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks will take on Carmella in the most predictable match of the evening
