One of the biggest events of the wrestling year is set for Saturday night in Indianapolis. The 2025 Royal Rumble kicks off from Lucas Oil Stadium with 30 men and 30 women each competing to earn a spot in the main event of this year’s WrestleMania.
This year’s pay-per-view features two Royal Rumble matches, one in the men’s and women’s divisions, as it has every year since 2018. CM Punk, John Cena and Roman Reigns are some of the high-profile superstars who have announced their entry to the 30-person match. Bayley and Nia Jax are among the talent pool in the women’s match.
Elsewhere on the card, undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes will defend his title against friend-turned-rival Kevin Owens in a ladder match. The two have ramped up their rivalry over the past few months and now meet in one of wrestling’s most iconic gimmick matches. In the card’s other title match, WWE tag team champions #DIY will put their belts on the line against former champions Motor City Machine Guns. #DIY and MCMG will battle in a two-out-of-three falls match that has the potential to steal the show.
Take a look below at the confirmed matches for Royal Rumble and glance at the crystal ball to see what may come. The event takes place…
