WWE ROYAL RUMBLE 2025 predictions, odds and full match card

One royal rumble fight feels as unpredictable as ever, and the other seems to have one truly logical choice for who beats their ticket to a World Cup’s chance in a main event at Wrestlemania.

Careers with Lucas Oil Stadium Saturday (6 pm Peacock) as the road to Wrestlemania 41 in Las Vegas begins.

Royal Rumble winners can be one of the potentially most polarizing – or sometimes universally loved decisions WWE can make.

The Post’s Pro Wrestling -Paltist Joseph Staszewski tries his best to predict how it all will play out when the bell rings.

2025 WWE ROYAL RUMBLE FULL MATCH CARD

DIY (Johny Gargano and Tomas Ciampa) over Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelly and Chris Sabin) to keep WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS (Two-out-of-three falls)

Motor City Machine Guns has been a breath of fresh air to wwe tag team division, and just the fact that a two-out-of-three falls championship match is on a larger live event is a big step forward in it Completed year- plus in the division.

DIY removed the Belts from MCMG in early January when Gargano deceived them with kindness before eventually turning his heel with Ciampa for the first time. Since then, DIY has been using pretty deadly to run interference to keep MCMG away from their championships – including those who crash the team’s last match on December 6th.

While rather deadly, being warned that they are being played – with DIY dangling a possible title shot for them – they moved closer to accepting it fully on smackdown.

This could go both ways based on whatever decision rather deadly taking to probably determine the match in the third fall. The story still feels like has legs and places to explore so WWE won’t take the titles to DIY yet.

Cody Rhodes Over Kevin Owens to preserve the undisputed WWE championship (Ladder match)

It’s a shame that Kevin Owens’ fine work will not be rewarded with a legitimate world passing – though he has got Masquerade as one with the famous Winged Eagle Championship for more than a month since he claimed he beat Rhodes on “Saturday Night’s Main Event. “

You do not pull the trigger on a title change to the heel of the third match in the trilogy until Rhodes can enter Wrestlemania 41 with a whole year as a master. What is important here is how Rhodes wins, and so many things are possible in a ladder fight -with the “American nightmare” apparently in a heel -swing spiral.

Owens has already told Sami Zayn in so many words that he expects him to have his back and help him win so they can meet each other at Wrestlemania. It is also possible Randy Orton – as Owens stacked drives to take him off TV in history for months – comes back and costs his former roof partner match. Whatever happens, Owens will be on his next coward – against either Zayn or Orton.

Charlotte Flair wins the women’s royal rumble

Betting Favorites: Charlotte Flair 1/2, IYO Sky 2/1, Becky Lynch 3/1, Bianca Belair 4/1, Jade Cargill 5/1 Jordynne Grace 15/2 (Paddy Power)

WWE only then begins when they join Bayley and Iyo Sky in the match.

Charlotte Flair got a special vignette that called the goat to announce her return to Royal Rumble from a severe knee injury after more than a year out of action. WWE WOMEN’s Champion Tiffany Stratton has not been shy to have a dream match with flair that is absolutely wrestlemania worthy.

Belair, who won the Royal Rumble in 2021 and continued to beat Sasha Banks on Wrestlemania, feels like one of two wild cards in this match because fans have wanted to see her versus women’s world champion Rhea Ripley for years at Wrestlemania and WWE has Teased it occasionally. She would also be a great opponent for Stratton as the master can make the case, she is bigger, faster and stronger than EST. The other is former TNA Knockouts -Master Jordynne Grace. She would be a fantastic fresh face for ripley to squarage with.

Outside of the idea that Jax or Morgan wins to get their title party, the list of viable candidates feels thin. Becky Lynch – if she returns – has already celebrated with Stratton and Ripley. Bayley seems to go towards a program for Roxanne Perez. Jade Cargill, who is facing her mystery attack, feels like her wrestlemania history.

Flair is the logical choice after WWE called her the goat in her vignette, restore it and exploit the good feelings about her return to create to Dream Match with Stratton.

John Cena wins the Lord’s royal rumble

Betting Favorites: Cm punk: 1/1, John Cena 7/4, Roman Reigns 10/3, Seth Rollins 5/1, The Rock 9/1, Drew McIntyre 9/1 (Paddy Power).

The gentlemen’s royal rumble is stacked and could be John Cena’s to lose.

The 16-hour world champion is on the star-studded list of wrestlers that have declared the fight, including Roman Reigns, CM PUNK, DREW MCINTYRY, SETH ROLLINS, JEY USO and SAMI ZAYN. All of them would be fine wrestlemania – head events – with Cena as bet as he begins his retirement tour.

As significant as would be to beat Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, Royal Rumble should be about moving on to challenge to the more prestigious title of Cody Rhodes’ undisputed WWE championship. If you look at the list, really only give Cena, Punk and Reign’s opinion to do it – unless the rock or Randy Orton gets an unexpected look.

Rhodes considers Cena a mentor, and the two are close by, so protegee, who stands between mentor Cena and breaks Ric Flair’s record with a 17th world’s reigning period, would be very exciting. Rhodes’ character seems to be in the early stages of a heel turn, and perhaps an interaction with Cena accelerates it.

Punk and Rhodes beautifully laid out the tension among the two friends who could carry their story to close Raw this week. Reigns Winning would give us the same wrestlemania main event for three equal years-self-punk perhaps it is forcing it to become a triple threat match via the advantage he is owned by Paul Heyman.

Also, keep an eye on the side spaces that take place between McIntyre, Rollins, Punk, Uso and Zayn – all have been connected in one way or another in the past year, as an interesting bloodline subpoen has brewed.

If there are surprises, I expect them from the TNA page after the announced partnership between the two brands earlier this month. Nic Nemeth, Joe Hendry and Moose all feel like potential names to look for as it is a potential AJ Styles Return.

A match between Wwes two biggest baby facts in the last 20 years feels too good to go ahead and let the other pieces – punk vs. Roman Reigns and Gunther vs. Logal Paul – easily fall on wrestlemania.
