Royal Rumble (2025

Royal Rumble (2025)

The 2025 Royal Rumble, also known as Royal Rumble: Indianapolis, is an upcoming professional wrestling event produced by WWE. It will mark the 38th annual Royal Rumble and is set to take place on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. This will be the first Royal Rumble held outside of January. The event will air via pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming, featuring wrestlers from both the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. It will also be the first WWE PPV event to stream on Netflix in most international markets following the merger of the WWE Network under the service in January 2025.

The Royal Rumble match remains the highlight of the event, with the winner traditionally earning a world championship match at that year's WrestleMania. For 2025, the winners of the men's and women's Royal Rumble matches will have the option to choose which championship they want to challenge for at WrestleMania 41. The men's winner can choose between Raw's World Heavyweight Championship or SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Championship, while the women's winner can select between Raw's Women's World Championship and SmackDown's WWE Women's Championship.

Production Background

This year’s Royal Rumble will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Since its inception in 1988, the Royal Rumble has been one of WWE’s five biggest events, alongside WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Money in the Bank. Traditionally held every January, the Royal Rumble’s unique format involves participants entering the ring at timed intervals, unlike a traditional battle royal where all competitors begin in the ring at once.

On June 24, 2024, WWE announced a partnership with Indiana Sports Corp, resulting in the 2025 Royal Rumble, a future WrestleMania, and a future SummerSlam being held at Lucas Oil Stadium. The date of the 38th annual Royal Rumble was confirmed for February 1, 2025, making it the first Rumble to fall outside of January. In addition to traditional PPV broadcast, the event will be available for livestreaming on Peacock in the U.S. and Netflix in most international markets. This marks the first WWE PPV to be streamed on Netflix following the WWE Network's integration into the service in January 2025. Tickets for the event went on sale on November 15, 2024. The official theme song of the event is "Von Dutch" by Charli XCX.

On January 9, 2025, WWE entered into a multi-year agreement with Cosm, in which select WWE PPV and livestreaming events will be broadcast from Cosm’s immersive LED domes located in Los Angeles and Dallas. The 2025 Royal Rumble will be the first WWE event to be broadcast from these cutting-edge venues.

Storylines

The event will feature matches based on scripted storylines, with results predetermined by WWE’s creative team for the Raw and SmackDown brands. These storylines are developed through WWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.

On November 13, 2024, it was announced that John Cena would compete in the 2025 Royal Rumble match. This marks his final Royal Rumble appearance, as Cena confirmed during the 2024 Money in the Bank event that he would retire at the end of 2025. On the January 6, 2025 episode of Raw, Cena confirmed that he would compete in the Royal Rumble match to pursue his 17th world championship at WrestleMania 41.

At Bad Blood in October 2024, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes temporarily allied with his longtime rival Roman Reigns to face The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu). After Rhodes and Reigns’ victory, a confrontation with Kevin Owens led to Owens turning heel, attacking Rhodes. This conflict would continue through the following months, culminating in a Ladder Match at the Royal Rumble between Rhodes and Owens, where both the Undisputed and Winged Eagle titles will be suspended above the ring.

#DIY (Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano) has been embroiled in a storyline involving their quest to regain the WWE Tag Team Championship after losing the title in August 2024. Their relationship became strained as Ciampa adopted a more aggressive persona. This tension culminated in a heel turn for both Ciampa and Gargano when they attacked other teams. They would go on to regain the Tag Team Championship in December 2024. At Saturday Night's Main Event in January 2025, the Motor City Machine Guns defeated Los Garza and Pretty Deadly, setting up a two out of three falls match for the Royal Rumble between #DIY and Motor City Machine Guns for the Tag Team Titles.
