Top 5 WWE matches of January 2021

#4 Men's WWE Royal Rumble match

In the main event of the show, the men competed in the annual Royal Rumble Match. In the build-up to this year's battle royal, it felt like the match could be anyone's for the taking. It was impossible to pick a clear frontrunner from RAW or SmackDown.

As the Royal Rumble drew closer, numerous stars declared themselves as entrants in the match. By the time the event started, most of the surprise entrants had already been revealed. Plus, the first two entrants, Edge and Randy Orton, had been announced prior to the event.

There were some great moments in this year's Men's Royal Rumble Match. Surprise returns from Seth Rollins, following his time on paternity leave, and Christian, who hasn't competed in WWE since 2014, made the match feel quite special. WWE Legends Kane and The Hurricane also had brief appearances.

Edge's win from the number one spot put him in the history books alongside a small handful of men in WWE. This victory also came on the eleventh anniversary of Edge's first Royal Rumble win back on January 31, 2010.
