John Cena, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk among the favorites as WWE gets underway with WrestleMania season, starting with the 2025 Royal Rumble.
The road to WrestleMania 41 officially begins at Indianapolis as 30 superstars battle for a world title opportunity in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match Sunday (PHL).
The winner will earn the right to challenge for either the Undisputed WWE Championship or World Heavyweight Championship, currently held by Cody Rhodes and Gunther, respectively, on the grandest stage in Las Vegas.
With 18 of the 30 competitors already declared, the match is shaping up to be one of the most star-studded in recent history.
John Cena, CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, LA Knight, Jey Uso, Drew McIntyre, Rey Mysterio, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bron Breakker, and Sami Zayn are among the big names vying for a main event spot at WrestleMania.
Reigns, Rollins, McIntyre, Nakamura, and Cena all have prior Rumble wins, while Cody Rhodes, who has won the last two Rumbles, looms as an outside threat should he enter.
With Logan Paul, Penta, Chad Gable, Carmelo Hayes, Damian Priest, Santos Escobar, and Jacob Fatu also confirmed, expect a mix of rising stars and dominant forces to shake things up.
Surprises are always expected in the Rumble, making this year's edition even more unpredictable with more than a third of the participants still left as mystery.
Will a former Rumble winner reclaim glory, or will a first-time winner rise to the occasion? The 2025 Royal Rumble match officially kicks off WrestleMania season in the WWE.
