The road to WrestleMania 41 has begun with an important stop: the Royal Rumble 2025. In this event, the last person standing in the ring will earn the chance to challenge a champion in the main event of WrestleMania. The Royal Rumble 2025 will take place on Saturday, February 1 at 5:00 PM, with broadcasts on Netflix and Peacock.
One of the most anticipated matchups of the night is the one between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens, who have maintained an intense rivalry for weeks. This time, they will face off in a ladder match where the WWE Undisputed Championship of the American Nightmare will be at stake.
As for the men's Royal Rumble, notable figures such as Penta Zero Miedo, John Cena, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, Rey Mysterio, Sami Zayn, LA Knight, Jey Uso, and Shinsuke Nakamura have been confirmed to participate. Meanwhile, for the women's competition, the presence of Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Bayley, Nia Jax, and Naomi has been announced.
The Royal Rumble is one of the most anticipated events of WWE, thanks to its unique stipulation where 30 wrestlers enter the ring every minute until the quota is complete. Participants are eliminated by being thrown over the top rope and touching the ground with any one foot. This format ensures the presence of major stars in the industry and exciting moments throughout the event.
Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis will be the venue where 30 men and 30 women will compete to the death for the opportunity to shine on the Showcase of the Immortals.
