WWE Royal Rumble 2021 Fastest Eliminations: Natalya, Shotzi Blackheart, Ember Moon Face Huge Upsets

The Women’s Royal Rumble match was a mix of NXT call ups, main roster Superstars, and surprise veteran returns. Unfortunately, with everything going on, the elimination of Shotzi Blackheart came across as upsetting for the WWE Universe.

Shotzi Blackheart entered the match at number 5, with her entrance captivating the fans. Regrettably, she was the first to be eliminated from the match after Shayna Baszler overpowered her.

According to the fans, Blackheart was eliminated way too quickly. While the fans knew she wouldn’t win the match, WWE could have given her some more time to show off her skills.

She has been proving herself as a pro-wrestler night after night on WWE NXT. Given her organic popularity amongst vast sections of the audience, a longer run at the Rumble could have done wonders for her career.

Apart from Shotzi Blackheart, the other two Superstars who were eliminated the fastest are Natalya and Ember Moon.

Natalya was the number 30 entrant of the match. Even before she could make an impact, Bianca Belair eliminated her.

Coming to Ember Moon, she entered the match at number 28. She was attacking Shayna Baszler when Nia Jax entered the ring at number 29. Before Moon could react, Jax eliminated her.

Shotzi Blackheart is the future of WWE

Blackheart earned significant respect after her match with Io Shirai in September 2020. Following that match, WWE fans insisted that the company consider her for a move to Raw or SmackDown. Even though she hasn’t been moved yet, there’s a chance it might happen soon.

The fact that she can play both heel and babyface at par proves just how good she is inside the ring.

Blackheart started her career as a pro-wrestler in the independent scene. When she signed on with WWE, her only aim was to reach the top.

Even to this day, she continues to work towards that goal. As a result, she has been improving herself with every passing match.

Considering her rising fame, there’s a good chance WWE will make the call of moving her to the main roster. However, even if the move doesn’t happen anytime soon, Blackheart has gathered significant fan following in NXT.
