2025 Royal Rumble: 5 predictions for Major WWE Premium Live Event

Royal Rumble is one of this year’s WWE’s Marquee Premium Live events.

The event contains the annual Royal Rumble -Fight for both men’s and women’s divisions. The unique program consists of 30 participants coming into the ring with the last person in the ring standing and serving a shot at the World Cup in Wrestlemania.

The match starts with two participants in the ring with a new competitor who enters the ring every 90 seconds or so. The only way the participants can be removed is if they are thrown over the upper rope and both their feet hit the ground.

One of the best things about the fight is the feeling that anyone could win and anyone could be in the fight. WWE Legends, stars that recovered from injuries, or wrestlers that fans have not seen in a while, have been known to make epic returns and stun the audience.

The former WWE star edge, whose real name is Adam Copeland, talked to Fox News Digital in 2022 about what it was like to return to Royal Rumble in 2020 after being out of ring for about 10 years due to injuries.

“I expected that if we could keep it so underpacking as we could, then yes, just for the big shock of it,” he told Fox News Digital at the time when asked if he was expecting the wild audience reaction .

“Because, like everyone, I assumed it was done,” he said of what he thought of his wrestling career at the time. “So because of that I assumed there would be a pretty shocked answer and then you do it in a stadium and chances is there will be a pretty good reaction. Even though I thought it’s still not right that prepare me for every feeling that really shakes through your system at the time.

This year is no different. The road to Wrestlemania 41 is at best foggy at this time. Champions like Cody Rhodes, Gunther, Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton do not have opponents of the big few nights coming up on 19-20. April in Las Vegas.

2025 Royal rumble in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium will include the rumble matches, a ladder -match for the undisputed WWE championship between Rhodes and Kevin Owens, as well as a WWE Tag Team Championship -match between Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley and Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa.

Read below for five predictions for what can happen in case.

1. John Cena will be welcomed with open arms

WWE fans expected John Cena to be on weekly programming since returning to “Monday Night Raw” this month. But that has not been the case. He advertised himself for Royal Rumble, and when he comes back, his entrance will blow up the roof of the stadium.

2. Logan Paul, Penta steals the show

Logan Paul has stunned the wrestling audience with the movements he can pull off in the middle of a WWE ring. It has served him Street Cred among Hardcore Pro Wrestling fans and has characterized his trash on the microphone to make him one of the biggest heels on the guard schedule. He really got a penny from the crowd in Atlanta on Monday.

Paul had drawn some incredible moments with former WWE star Ricochet, and with Penta who joined Fracas for the past few weeks, it is probably that the two will pull something wild in the ring for the fans in Indianapolis.

Penta has been drawing tremendous praise since he debuted in WWE, and his debut in the Rumble match is certainly welcome.

3. Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn Begin Bitter Feud

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are best friends inside and outside the wrestling ring. They have been on almost every promotion together and have dominated for quite a long time. But their journey is on a crossroads.

Owens is already in a match for the WWE title against Rhodes early at night. He seems unlikely that he goes into the Royal Rumble -Fight. But with Zayn being friends with Rhodes, the possibility of Zayn costing Owens, the title is very much in play.

Look at its side that Owens costs Zayn in the rumble match and ignites a path with best friends-facing-bitter enemies.

4. There will be great returns and debut

Royal Rumble is always known for something wild, and it is probably something similar that will occur again.

The women’s rumble could include pro -wrestlers like Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella or Jordynne Grace. The latter signed an agreement with WWE after her contract with the TNA expired, Fightful Select Reported this week, although Grace was firm that she would not be in Indy this weekend. In addition, Jade Cargill suffered an injury to the screen and was written off by her story as a tag-team champion with Bianca Belair. She could potentially return to confront the person who “attacked” her.

The gentlemen’s side could also bring out a great return.

The cliff was always rumored to be involved in WWE stories in one way or the other, but his talk about kicking Raw’s Netflix debut left fans who wonder if he would try to tie loose ends with Rhodes, Roman Reigns and the rest of the bloodline.

OMOS has also had an impact on the Noah advance in Japan. The popularity of the 7-foot-3-wrestler increased as he spent time there and could possibly make at least one more performance in WWE. His former teammate, AJ Styles, has also been out of TV for a while, and a return at Rumble would surprise fans.

5. Cm punk and Charlotte Flair win rumble -match

CM PUNK was wounded in the Royal Rumble match last year, and it cost him months and an in-ringing place on Wrestlemania 40. His intense promo with Rhodes on “Monday Night Raw” was passionate and got an interest in wrestling fan. A punk-rhodes wrestlemania main event would certainly be the pro wrestling world this spring.

Charlotte Flair has not been seen in a WWE ring since she tore her ACL, MCL and Meniscus during a match on Smackdown on December 8, 2023. She has appeared in Vignettes on WWE programming in recent weeks and is set to a Rumble Return.
