[4.0] "A very very very sloppy rumble match. Another female rumble match for a kids. Shame on WWE for that worst female rumble. But bianca belair winner was very good for the women's division of WWE. Go to see the man rumble."
[7.0] "This rumble was very solid and a right winner. Bianca was the right winner, but they didn't went with her, they could've had Alexa win, oh wait, she was eliminated quickly. That pissed me off. Also, some people in this rumble was a waste of time like Jillian Hall, Santana Garrett, and Billie Kay. Some good moments and some moments that were a massive waste of time."
[5.0] "Pretty average royal rumble match i thought however it did have the correct outcome in the end with Bianca winning and cementing her place in the main event but obviously lack of crowd really does affect this kind of match - a lot of stupid stuff in this match aswell such as the alexa bliss nonsense"
[9.0] "Despite the lack of a crowd and a pretty predictable elimination order, this was still a great women's rumble and an improvement over the previous couple of ones before it and it was just the start of Bianca Belair becoming one of the top stars in the women's division."
[6.0] "Considering this was in the Thunderdome, it wasn't all that bad. But probably could have used a live crowd. Bille Kay was great during this match and this was the beginning of the rocket being strapped to Belair's back."
[6.0] "On rewatch it was actually a rather boring rumble but you have to give it some credit for still being in the Thunderdome but overall still a decent rumble."
[7.0] "Good game. The spots are not bad, the comedy works very well with Billie Kay. The intervention of R-Truth and the 24/7 title in the match breaks the rhythm, too bad. Bianca Belair enters in 3, stays over 2 min. then we don't see her again until the Final Four except during the elimination of Bayley which incidentally happened off-screen and was shown on replay. The finale between Ripley and Belair was really good. (3*3/4)"
[6.0] "One of the rare case (especially in Women's rumbles) of a rumble where the first half is way better than the second part. This rumble has the strongest start of any Women's Rumble, but it all goes to waste once the rotten storyline of Lacey Evans vs Charlotte enters theroom. After that, the rumble never really picks up with moments like the 24/7 invasion, the Carmella/Reggie stuff or the Alexa Bliss' nothingness ... The final three is quite cool though, but not as emotionnal as the 2019 one. 6/10."
[2.0] "The worst female Royal Rumble match. 3/4 of the match is incredibly boring and forgettable, there are no eliminations until number 13, only the last 10 minutes are good. The treatment of Alexa Bliss, Dakota Kai, Shotzi and Ember Moon is heinous."
[9.0] "Really good rumble, the best womens rumble so far with alot of good performances, a great final 2 and no dull moments throughout. A great beginning to the mega pushes of Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley"
[6.0] "The pandemic rumble for the women. This means a lot of theatrics. I loved Billie Kay's whole bit and wish it went on longer really. The 24/7 title stuff is very fun too. If you can't handle gaga this isn't for you. This is also a rumble full of Rhea Ripley. She gets in tons of offense, eliminations, and bumps. One thing against this rumble is the camera misses a lot of good stuff. How that's possible in the thunderdome era I have no idea. There's an ugly edit with the 24/7 title portion. Who knows what they were covering up cuz I watched this live and I don't remember anything weird. Bianca looks pretty good but still a lot of her work is bad. The final two is fun cuz they represent the future of this division- they gang up on and boot the old-timer Flair. This gets an extra point for the Billie Kay stuff, and the Rhea stuff, but loses it for the lack of star power. The women's rumble has been pretty thick with old-timers, most of who look great in there. However this was during the pandemic, so probably not too many wanting to risk anything for one rumble appearance."
[7.0] "A good Rumble overall, slightly marred down by the lack of interest in the middle portion. But it never drags at any point, at least to me. I was especially impressed with Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley here, who really go out of their way to put on one of their best WWE performances to date. The surprise entrants were fun, too, with lots of good showing from the legends and the NXT rookies. The final three sequences in particular took this up to a new notch for me. [***1/2]"
[7.0] "A good female Royal Royal, with great returns, good surprises, good action in the ring and a great winner. Although this match is not the best, is good."
[8.0] "We've had 5 women's Rumbles so far, including 2022, and this one still stands out as the best women's Rumble to be done. The starting two were great picks and Bianca's entry not only solidified her chance of being the iron woman but also making her win here as a historic one by the numbers. Apart from Bianca, Naomi & Rhea Ripley stole the show with Bayley garnering a close call. The legends had a fun outing here with Victoria & Torrie Wilson leaving a very good impression while NXT had their arsenal show out and stand out in Dakota Kai, Shotzi Blackheart etc. This match had the entries and exits almost right with a good mix of past stories and future setups. The final three was a great showdown which was surpassed by the even better final two face-off between Ripley & Belair. I wouldn't have been unhappy if Ripley won here as she is another star who needs a well deserved start but Belair winning felt the same with an added feel of organic elation. 4 out of 5 stars!"
[5.0] "A generic Royal Rumble match. It was nothing special. Some parts were good, like a performance from Billie Key, a little fun segment with R-Thuth and Victoria's return. But after that, it was stale. The last 5-10 minutes of the match were superb though, as Bianca, Charlotte and Rhea did their best to make an epic ending."
[5.0] "The last 5-10 minutes were pretty good, but everything before that was pretty bad, with a bunch of dumb comedy. If a 58 minutes match is bad for 48 minutes of it, I can't recommend it at all."
[8.0] "Seeing Victoria again was good enough to bring this up a point, but with all of the entrants, it was really anyone's ball game when it came to a possible winner. Bianca winning was an excellent feel-good moment and the match felt a lot better paced than the Men's rumble. Definitely worth checking out over the Men's rumble imo. (***3/4)"
[1.0] "It didnt give me that royal rumble feel. Good , but not great. I mean this match isnt based on technical brilliance and fluidity. All it needs is that big deal feel. Its more of an event than a match and it just didnt really do it, at all. Its nnot like a technical masterclass style of match, but one that suffers greatly devoid of a crowd. Just naff *1/2"
[8.0] "The Women Rumble matches generally have a tough time finding 30 interesting performers, but I think they did a pretty good job here. Billie Kay had a fun little segment, Victoria's return was awesome to see, and I loved the smart handling of the Alexa Bliss character. However, where this match really shines is it's final 3. The ending sequence had me at the edge of my seat, and made for a pretty great rumble."
[8.0] "This was one of the best Women Rumble. The stories were really good and the surprises were just perfect. The return of Torrie Wilson and Victoria were a good surprise and the NXT Superstars were a really big part of this Rumble. The win of Bianca is the right move, she deserves the win and I think that she has give the performance of a lifetime entering with the number 3 and going the distance. Great performance by Bayley too, and it's a shame that the cameras didn't catch her elimination LIVE, but it's noone fault. Great match by Rhea Ripley too, she was a perfect last elimination and I hope to see her on the Main Roster very soon. A ReMatch against Charlotte is what she needs to be the winning machine she was last year."
[8.0] "The Match of The Night. It was great to see legends and NXT wrestlers in this rumble. Too bad Shotzi missed that tank shot in Billie Kay's face. Also, too bad Shotzi got eliminated very fast. I hoped to see some crazy stunts there before she gets eliminated. Rhea and Dana Brooke struggling with each other on the ring apron was a great spot. Even better was Ric Flair entering the rumble. I was like: What the hell going on here? It cracked me up. In fact, it was Lacey Evans who entered the action wearing Ric's robe, doing his movement and walk. Another fun segment was with R-Truth and Alicia Fox. That match was great."
[8.0] "I found this to be really good and enjoyable. It was fun and didn't really drag. It was a good match already but the final three just knocked the ball off the park. Charlotte, Ripley and Belair tore the house down. Charlotte got eliminated by Belaor and Ripley and she just smiled at them; So badass. When WWE gave two new and fresh up and coming stars as the final two of a Rumble, I was extremely excited. Belair and Ripley gave an incredible finishing performance and I would have been okay with either women winning but Bianca was my pick and I was elated that she won. ****"
[6.0] "This was possibly the worst women rumble ever, not so many good spots, many botches, and some eliminations were so random, and Liv Morgan should have stayed way more. Bianca only kinda saved this match. Generally 90 percent of this match was so average, only the last 5 minutes were fantastic."
[3.0] "It is the same boring womens' Royal Rumble with wrestlers that have difficulties to eliminate the opponents. In fact, Victoria, Jilian Hall and Torrie Wilson are in poor conditions. There are a lot of botches, but the final part with Belair and Ripley is impressive. **3/4"
[7.0] "I enjoyed this rumble a lot. The right person won and the right people were in it. This rumble did a great job showcasing new talent and bringing back some old talent. ***1/2"
[8.0] "An incredible showing and probably the match of the night all things considered, and one of my favorite Rumbles here in the last few years, to boot. Everyone played their parts really well. The opening with Bayley and Naomi was super fun, and then Bianca appearing took everything to the next gear. Billie held a lot of the early stuff together with her comedy and her really entertaining dynamic, and the mini-story of her trying to find a partner, stay with the Riott Squad, and get back together with Peyton was all just really entertaining and a little heartfelt besides. Meanwhile, Rhea Ripley looked like an absolute monster as soon as she showed up - as it should be. There wasn't a single thing I really didn't like here, except maybe just how fast all the NXT girls like Ember and Dakota went out, but just seeing them on that stage was nice, and we had Rhea dominate, so it's hard to complain too loudly. Bianca, Charlotte, and Rhea were the perfect final three, too, and the spots with Bianca and Rhea working together - and then working together to get themselves back in the ring for a proper final sequence? Wonderful. Once it was down to those two I was happy to just enjoy the ride and see who walked out the winner, as both were clear standout stars, and I wasn't disappointed. Here's hoping Bianca really does put the EST in Wrestlemania."
[8.0] "An absolutely fantastic Rumble - probably the best and most consistent women's RR yet, and one that absolutely put the men's to shame. A good choice of early entrants, and Billie Kay having such a key story in the opening stages was unexpected but an absolute delight. She was genuinely hilarious on the commentary booth, the entrance ramp and once she got in the ring too, and there's an impressively detail-rich story being told with just her facial expressions and pauses. Fun moments from the likes of Lacey Evans, Naomi & Carmella, and some great showdown segments for the final three (and then the final two) competitors. It's not perfect - some impressive performers got disappointingly little to do, and Natalya was a total bore as the #30 entrant (as well as trying to callback to her short-lived alliance with Lana, which is not fondly remembered, if it's even remembered at all) - but this was thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. Absolutely star-making performance for the winner, and an honestly outstanding performance from Billie Kay as well. Easily the match of the night."
[3.0] "Wanna make it clear that this rating is not related to the result, that was the exact right decision and the post-match was an incredible and emotional moment. This fell into the trap of many Royal Rumbles, with a majority of the match being competitors crowded in every corner trying to lift each other up at a glacial pace with little story throughout. The Billie Kay stuff early on was funny, but it got way too much screen time, with it often taking up nearly half of the time between entrances. The early payoff was fun with her joining forces with Jillian Hall, but Jillian looked very bad in the ring and was obviously not fit to be in the match. Their eventual split was pretty dumb too, it just kinda happened to happen without any real reason behind it. Shayna Baszler was a highlight early on, but her aura is noticeably weaker than back in the 2020 rumble. Though I think Belair was probably the best choice to win, Rhea Ripley was the best part of this match, they really let her dominate as she should have, and her explosiveness alongside her imposing aura really let her shine in that role. The stuff with Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans was very dumb, Charlotte is supremely unlikeable and seemed to be leaning into that most of the match but then we? re meant to feel sympathetic for Charlotte because her notoriously unlikeable dad is backing a different heel now? Very awkward and poorly executed, made me want to see the spotlight on someone else rather than whatever resolution they? re building towards here. The stuff with Lana and eventually Natalya kinda sucked, Lana? s character is essentially that she? s a bad, annoying wrestler and somehow we? re expected to sympathize with her and believe her to be a serious competitor against women presented as actual threats. I wanna say Natalya is a bad heel, but in all honesty she? s a bad face too, a good wrestler who is remarkably bad at evoking emotion from the audience outside of sympathy pops for being a Hart. Nia Jax was terrible here too, I don? t remember Nia being this out of shape and visibly clumsy, but I also haven? t seen any of her matches since nearly two years ago so it? s hard to say if that? s just me not remembering how bad she really is. The stuff with her, Tamina, and Shayna was nonsensical, why is it so hard for wrestlers and agents to understand that it doesn? t make logical sense for partners to betray each other before the very end of the rumble.. Then Nia and Shayna coming back into the ring after they were eliminated made sense I guess, but it really didn? t serve anyone who was still in the match or the match itself, though that doesn? t seem to be on the forefront of the minds of the people who put this match together. The ending was pretty good, it felt a little overly choreographed but it was still a nice moment to see Belair finally ascend to the mountaintop. Overall a pretty bad match with a good ending. Go out of your way to see the last few minutes and avoid the rest of the match."
[10.0] "Thought this was fantastic! I could have lived without the R Truth bit but other than that I enjoyed pretty much everything in this Rumble, particularly the awesome performances of Belair and Ripley, I couldn't have been more pleased with the winner and the runner up. Absolutely awesome finishing sequence, had me on the edge of my seat."
[7.0] "Not a high-end Rumble by any means, but I thought this flowed pretty well from bell-to-bell, and the action was solid throughout the whole thing with especially Bayley & Rhea Ripley delivering some fun moments. It was a good one overall."
[7.0] "Not bad, but the elimination of Alexa Bliss in that way was awful. We are talking about the most important woman in Raw at the moment. You can not eliminate her like a "comedy girl"."
[8.0] "Good rumble and better than the men's. Love that Bianca won the whole thing, plus a lot of great moments sprinkled throughout, like the surprise of Victoria and the Alexa part."
[8.0] "I don't really care for WWE, and don't have a spot soft for women wrestling, but I can appreciate a good wrestling match when I see it. A match that lasts for an hour and when it is over, you wonder where were those minutes that just passed. Such an easy watch, Bianca Belair bumped her ass off, giving us the most cool spots of the match. She battled it out with most relevant wrestlers. There were memorable cameos and the Billie Kay comedy spots were on point. This was the better rumble match of the two."
[9.0] "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Rumble, booked exactly the way that a Rumble should be. You had your nostalgia pops, your comedy workers, a steady flow and actual honest-to-god storyline continuity between numerous wrestlers. Most importantly you saw a number of women working hard to grab the proverbial brass ring. Baszler had technically won in the pre-show but worked like someone pissed off at getting shown up by the former tag champs. Rhea Ripley absolutely hulked up and made up a lot of lost ground to recent bad booking. Naomi was absolutely stellar and reminded everyone that the only reason she isn't considered one of the luminaries of the "Women's Revolution" is that she was just a few years ahead of her time, while Bayley may not have been as dynamic in the ring but continues to perfect her heel character. Belair, like a lot of marathon Rumble winners, admittedly spent a lot of time in the corners resting, but she looked phenomenal when it counted, getting beautiful exchanges with a lot of the established stars and had outstanding moments with both Naomi and Ripley in getting back up from pending elimination. Loved the symbolism of Belair and Ripley, easily the two standouts of their crop of incoming women's talent, joint-eliminating Charlotte, then they had a hellacious closing final two between them. The women's Rumbles have been works in progress, with the first having a lot of sweet but self-serving nostalgia pops that allowed the company to pretend it cared about women before 2015, the second being mostly garbage until Becky punched her way in, and a forgettable 2020 Rumble. But this was the complete package, and barring the occasional ugly spot (Shayna deserves a bonus for forcing herself to punch as bad as Nia to not completely outclass her) everything you could want from a Rumble."
[6.0] "(Don't usually go for this format but fits a Rumble) // Pros: The right final 3 was in there. They know they have 2 people in Bianca and Rhea they need to build up and strap a rocket to (or at least I hope so? ); Lana was used exactly as she should have been. Got a symbolic amount of revenge after the weird "taking you out of the blowoff match" deal; While there was a moment with too many people in the ring at once without a lot happening, I never felt at any point like the Rumble was dragging. Even when it was "just there", they just kept pushing it along; No eliminations purely for miss-guided and unnecessary heat; This new camera works wonders with Ripley's entrance. Just looked badass as hell; Glad to see Victoria showing up! // Cons: Jerry Lawler... Why is this guy being thirsty af on my ears in 2021? ; Bayley's elimination was wasted by bad execution, bad camera work and way too early. It should have been a big deal for Bianca to eliminate her and that's why it should have happened within the final 5; Because Rhea Ripley was derailed by a non-sensical loss last year at Wrestlemania, the fact that the Charlotte elimination was a joint venture, and not just her alone, takes away the small redemption that moment should have been. Plus, Bianca already eliminated Bayley (which, they failed to make a big deal) and was the iron woman of the match, she did not need to take part in that moment; // While I'm happy they are pushing Belair and I can't fault this too much in the score, I truly believe Rhea should have won. I think it was important to make Bianca a star but it was to build up another Rumble where she would eventually win (next year maybe? ). Rhea actually needed this and just by Survivor Series 2019 alone has more of a main-roster resume to take this next step. Match was fine enough but I can't say there was anything exciting in it for the most part either. Bianca is a can't miss star... Please don't defy those odds WWE."
[5.0] "The match was simply boring. Nothing creative was shown and it seemed like bookers didn't really care about the 90% of the match. The final few minutes were quite good though, and i am pretty excited for the winner. But that doesn't save this completely uncreative and generic rumble match"
[4.0] "This women's rumble match is definitely not worth to watch. Every elimination moments before final 3 are distracting and sloppy. This is the worst women's rumble match so far."
[0.0] "what did everyone else watch? This was an embarrassing match with so many botches, sloppy choreographed spots, and awful camera work. Final 2 were solid choices but this match should be nowhere near an 8/10. The surprises were so called legends who just came in and couldnt wrestle. This has got to be the worst royal rumble match of all time."
[7.0] "decent rumble, some nice surprises, glad to see two newer women being the final two in Bianca and Rhea, as opposed to the normal people being given chance after chance, but if you're a fan of the women on NXT I wouldn't watch this as they were all essentially geeks just there to be thrown out, with the exception of Rhea who got to shine even in defeat, good rumble, dragged a bit in the middle but a decent watch overall"
[4.0] "People are being too generous imo, as soon as billie kay entered everything went downhill and only picked up after natalya was eliminated. I really enjoyed rhea and bianca being the final two, that was really cool"
[7.0] "Very enjoyable match and the hour flew by like nothing. Good mix of talent from all three brands as well as surprise entrants; somehow they got me enjoying a Jillian Hall bit in the Year of Our Lord 2021. The obvious MVPs of this match were Naomi (who I'm happy to see back) and Bianca Belair, and the obligatory Kofi Kingston Wild Royal Rumble Spot Naomi does every year was pretty unique and imaginative. Really cool seeing Belair and Ripley as the final two, and it's nice to see WWE give the win to a young up-and-coming star who could actually use the win and deserves a title shot at Wrestlemania, unlike certain other Royal Rumble matches I could mention.... Also if she decides to stay on Smackdown, having two Black women compete one-on-one in a title match for the first time ever at Wrestlemania (actually I think the first time ever regardless of event or TV show? ) would be really cool."
[10.0] "Women's Royal Rumble Match was awesome! Kept me excited throughout and loved seeing Victoria again. Bianca Belair deserved to be the winner of the Women's Rumble, and I can't wait to see her become Smackdown Women's Champ at WrestleMania."
