The 2025 Royal Rumble from Indianapolis began with Alicia Taylor introducing Stephanie McMahon, who thanked the crowd and said this year's Rumble was the biggest in history, The Women's Royal Rumble was the first match of the night.
After weeks of vignettes, Charlotte entered at Number Twenty Seven. I said in the predictions that her return and victory was reminiscent of Cody's return where he went on to win in 2023 and that is exactly how it panned out.
DIY's Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa won the Two out of Three Falls match against Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin by Two Falls to One. The Street Profits attacked everyone involved, sending a message that they want the Tag Team Championships.
To no one's surprise, Cody Rhodes is still the WWE Champion, defeating Kevin Owens, it was a good Ladder Match, you could sense the two characters really hated each other, which bought the intensity. Owens will probably blame Sami Zayn for the loss who appeared during the fight, this could lead to Owens vs Zayn at Elimination Chamber in Toronto.
It was now time for the Men's Rumble. Rey Mysterio and Penta, two of the greatest Luchadores in the game started off proceedings, iShowSpeed was a impromptu participant, replacing Akira Tozawa who was taken out by Carmelo Hayes, Speed's appearance will make astronomical numbers on Social Media, especially when Bron Breakker speared him.
Jacob Fatu was excellent in this match, as expected, we haven't seen the best of him yet, he's still in second gear. Say his name and he appears, Joe Hendry was entry number 15, his involvement was always expected, even more so when he won the TNA Championship a couple of weeks ago.
Word to Jim Ross, business picked up from Number 16 to 30 in terms of star power. Punk eliminating Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns was a talking point which sparked rumours of a triple threat at WrestleMania. We shall see if this is official in due time.

After over an hour. Number 20 was the lucky number as Jey Uso shocked the world to win the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble Match, lastly eliminating John Cena, Cena congratulated Jey for his win, Congratulations to Jey, its his time to finally win the World Heavyweight Championship from The Ring General, Gunther, in April.
Main Event Jey Uso is going to WrestleMania! YEET!
