Bianca Belair has punched her ticket to WrestleMania.
Bianca Belair has made history as the first-ever African American woman to win the Royal Rumble and she has become only the second African American to win the Royal Rumble in history, the first was The Rock in 2000.
Entering the match at number 3 and, last eliminating Rhea Ripley, Bianca has now earned the right to choose whether she will challenge the WWE Raw Women's Champion, the WWE SmackDown Women's Champion, or the NXT Women's Champion.
Bianca now joins Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Asuka as the only female WWE Royal Rumble winners.
The match itself came down to Charlotte Flair, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair. Bianca and Ripley teamed up to eliminate Charlotte Flair and it came down to the former NXT standouts. After several false finishes, Bianca was able to get Rhea Ripley over the ropes.
With this victory, Bianca set a new Royal Rumble record for the women lasting 56 minutes and 49 seconds to punch her ticket.
THAT'S RIGHT! The EST of WWE is headed to #WrestleMania!
