5 Biggest unanswered questions after WWE Royal Rumble 2021

WWE answered a lot of important questions at this year's Royal Rumble pay-per-view but still left a lot of unanswered questions at the same time. Maybe that is due to the fact that the company now only has two pay-per-view events before WrestleMania 37. However, it still was quite jarring to see several Superstars without solid paths on the Road to WrestleMania.

With Roman Reigns possibly running out of opponents on SmackDown, among other situations, there are a lot of questions the company needs to answer. These questions are going to be important to the quality of the overall card at WrestleMania, and perhaps even the high-profile matches.

As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and be sure to tell us what you think WWE has planned for WrestleMania 37.

With the 2021 Royal Rumble now officially being a part of the history books, here are five questions that WWE has still left unanswered.

#5 What does WWE do next with Bill Goldberg?

Where does WWE go next with Goldberg?

While Goldberg might have lost his WWE Championship match against Drew McIntyre at the Royal Rumble, that doesn't necessarily mean he's done. Goldberg just has way too much star power for him to be done after an appearance at the Royal Rumble.

WWE should use Goldberg in some kind of a dream match at WrestleMania 37. Maybe the company could do The Fiend versus Goldberg, which would be a neat little blockbuster, to say the least. WWE could even go for some kind of a home run by inserting him into a title match.

In the end, Goldberg's star power shouldn't go unused during WrestleMania season, and it should be an honor for whoever faces him. A Firefly Fun House match exploring the career of Goldberg and his controversial win over The Fiend would be a nice idea too.

#4 What will WWE do with Becky Lynch?

WWE needs to do something big with Becky Lynch this year

It's no secret that WWE fans have missed Becky Lynch ever since she took some time off last year, which is a part of what makes her potential return so interesting. Not only is it a chance for Lynch to pick up where she left off as Champion, but it could also mean a chance to face Ronda Rousey in singles action at WrestleMania 37.

Dream matches aside, rumor has it that Becky Lynch will be returning soon, which begs the question of what the company has planned for her. With options like Stephanie McMahon, Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair, Shayna Baszler, and Nia Jax, Lynch could make a huge statement upon her comeback.

In the end, Becky Lynch has a lot of options heading into WrestleMania 37, and there seem to be no wrong answers. For example, what if WWE put Lynch against Nia Jax, who was responsible for injuring her two years ago? It would be a nice way to revisit one of the most iconic moments in modern history and could be a very high-profile match.

#3 Will WWE go ahead with Edge versus Roman Reigns?

Is WWE really planning Edge versus Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 37?

WWE had Edge win the 2021 Men's Royal Rumble on Sunday. While Edge hasn't decided on who his opponent will be at WrestleMania, some believe the stars are aligned for a huge showdown with Roman Reigns.

Of course, nothing is locked in as of yet, but it really does seem like the company wants to go in the aforementioned direction.

In all honesty, WWE is making Edge seem like the quintessential underdog. The promotion may use this tactic to create a feeling that winning at WrestleMania is his destiny. After all, Edge won the Royal Rumble from the No. #1 position and did so after being shelved for months with an injury. He even defeated his longtime rival, Randy Orton, to win and punch his ticket to WrestleMania 37.

If nothing else, WWE may have wanted Edge to overcome these odds to help solidify the character as a babyface, only for Reigns to eventually shatter his dreams. Now, all the company needs to do is have Edge challenge Roman Reigns, and go from there. That seems like one of the few possible ways forward for Edge and makes the most sense based on current rumors.

#2 Why is WWE holding off on The Fiend's return?

WWE might just have something special planned for The Fiend

WWE surprised the world at the Royal Rumble by holding off on The Fiend's return, which has raised a lot of questions about the character's future.

It has also raised important questions about whether he will get a title shot at this year's WrestleMania, making for a very tense situation.

If nothing else, WWE not bringing The Fiend back at the Royal Rumble was a very odd move, but it could be explained if a few factors are taken into consideration. The first factor is that WWE Network is moving to Peacock in March, creating the need for the company to do something big for their first pay-per-view on the new network.

Another big factor in all this is the fact that fans always seem polarized by The Fiend. Not only does this effectively alter the creative direction of those who face him, but it also takes away television time from other crucial storytelling.

Had The Fiend returned at Royal Rumble, he might have affected the momentum of several other stars at the same time. That's another reason why WWE could be making the right choice by saving his return for the near future.

#1 Will WWE have a main title change hands before WrestleMania 37?

Will WWE take the RAW Women's title off Asuka before WrestleMania 37?

Believe it or not, it looks like WWE could make at least one main title change between now and WrestleMania. It would be an absolute surprise if someone like Roman Reigns lost the title, which shifts the focus to Drew McIntyre. Unfortunately for McIntyre, he has a lot of factors working against him at the moment.

In fact, between WrestleMania being two months away, and The Miz circling with the Money in the Bank briefcase, McIntyre might not be in a good place over the next few months. Two other Superstars that don't seem to be in the right place are Asuka and Sasha Banks, who are the RAW and SmackDown Women's Champions, respectively.

Bianca Belair won the Women's Royal Rumble as a babyface, and she needs a good heel to create some huge momentum on the Road to WrestleMania 37. Of course, the company could just choose either Asuka and Banks to turn heel, but neither Superstar really has the motives to do so. It's almost like something big is going to happen to the Women's Division before WrestleMania 37. Either that or Drew McIntyre could lose the WWE Championship down the road.
