WWE Royal Rumble 2021 -- Social media reacts to all the best matches - ESPN

9:29 PM ET

The 34th edition of the WWE Royal Rumble takes place Sunday at the WWE Thunderdome, the souped up and tricked out Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, that has turned the home of the MLB's Tampa Bay Rays into a high-tech, visually impressive broadcast playground, home to all of WWE's tentpole events including RAW, Smackdown and recent pay-per-view events.

The Royal Rumble match is one of the most touted and creative of all time among wrestling enthusiasts and lapsed fans alike. Though Wrestlemania will always be the "Super Bowl of sports entertainment," if there is one match that is deemed appointment viewing on the yearly wrestling calendar, it's the Royal Rumble.

This year's event once again features a women's and men's Rumble match, as well as multiple WWE titles on the line.

Last year, the Royal Rumble was the final major WWE event with a live audience before the pandemic (over 42,000 in Houston at Minute Maid Park), and this year's event will be the first Royal Rumble in history without a crowd, which will make social media even more fun to follow during the event.

Here are some of the best reactions from social media:

Pregame

WWE Championship: Drew McIntyre vs. Goldberg

It was short and sweet, as Drew McIntyre survived Goldberg's barrage and retained the WWE championship over the legendary Hall of Famer Goldberg. Following the match, the two embraced in mutual respect.

WWE SmackDown Women's Championship: Sasha Banks vs. Carmella

Sasha Banks retained the WWE SmackDown women's championship over Carmella, who put in a valiant effort. Banks is coming up to 100 days as champion and recently revealed she will be getting a Star Wars action figure for her role as Koska Reeves in "The Mandalorian."

Bad Bunny and Booker T

Women's Royal Rumble

Bianca Belair, the favorite to win the Rumble going into the match, was the third to enter, and in a Ric Flair 1992 Rumble-esque performance, she outlasted everyone to win and earn a title match at Wrestlemania. The final four came down to Natalya (who was the 30th entrant), Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair and Belair. After Natalya was eliminated, Belair tossed Charlotte Flair off the apron to end her Rumble hopes, bringing it down to Belair and Ripley. After the two paused the hostilities against each other to safely get back into the ring, they went back and forth, until the pair ducked clotheslines at the ropes back-to-back. But Belair's connected, sending Ripley over the ropes and making Belair the winner.

Rosenberg wins 24/7 title

WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens

Roman Reigns defeated Kevin Owens in a Last Man Standing Match to retain the WWE Universal Championship. The hard-hitting contest spilled outside of the ring and to multiple parts of the WWE Thunderdome, including Reigns hitting Owens with a golf cart backstage and Owens jumping off an elevated platform on the forks of a forklift onto Reigns. After being handcuffed by Owens, Reigns was set free by Paul Heyman and Reigns locked Owens in a guillotine choke, allowing the referee to administer a 10 count to end the match in favor of Reigns.
