The 2025 Royal Rumble is shaping up to be an explosive event, with multiple storylines and rivalries converging in the ring. Taking place this Saturday, February 1 at 6pm ET / 5pm CT, from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, the first WWE Premium Live Event (PLE) for the year kicks off the road to WrestleMania and here you will find a detailed guide on how to watch it on TV & streaming for under $6.
In the Men’s Royal Rumble, Sami Zayn will have to deal with loyalty to his friend Roman Reigns, who in turn is the target of Seth Freakin’ Rollins and Drew McIntyre. CM Punk, meanwhile, has a score to settle with all of them, while both sides of The Bloodline will be represented in the battle royal. The return of John Cena adds an element of excitement, looking for one last shot at glory. The tension is palpable and the unknown as to the winner is at its highest.
In the Women’s Royal Rumble, the return of Charlotte Flair marks a new chapter in the division. Nia Jax cements herself as the dominant force, Liv Morgan resurfaces with a bodyguard, Bianca Belair and Naomi enter as champions, and the rivalry between IYO SKY and Bayley is far from over. Each of these women represents a threat and a potential Rumble winner. The results of both battle royal battles will be crucial, setting the stage for WrestleMania 41. The stage is set for a night of surprises and unforgettable moments.
But that’s not all because there are other two bouts that will keep the wrestling fans at the verge of their seats: Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens’ Ladder Match for the WWE Undisputed Championship has been captivating for months, and Motor City Machine Guns vs #DIY in a 2-out-of-3-falls match for the WWE Tag Team Championship is bursting with narrative and wrestling excellence.

WWE Royal Rumble card & predictions
- Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens battle in a Ladder Match for the Undisputed WWE Championship: Eventhought Kevin Owens will steal the show, Cody Rhodes will retain and regain his Winged Eagle title. Why? Because he will have to face the winner of the 30-man Royal Rumble match in the main event match at WrestleMania 41.
- Men’s Royal Rumble Match: The Royal Rumble 2025 is unpredictable, but CM Punk is emerging as the favorite for the men’s battle royal over Roman Reigns. The Original Tribal Chief, usually the top contender, may have to settle a debt with Punk after their alliance at WarGames. Seth Freakin' Rollins could be an interesting option, but he seems too emotional to be the sole survivor of this bout. For fans favourite Jey Uso, it’s feels too soon for him to enter the picture for a major championship in WWE, and Sami Zayn will have to deal with Kevin Owens after his battle with Cody Rhodes. Although John Cena returns, it’s unlikely that his road to the WWE Championship will start with a Royal Rumble victory, but he could be one of the last participants to be eliminated over the top rope.
- Women’s Royal Rumble Match: WWE’s women’s division is at an all-time high across all three brands, with exciting returns and NXT debuts anticipated at the Women’s Royal Rumble. Nia Jax looks to reassert herself as a dominant figure, Liv Morgan promises to be a constant threat and Bayley should never be counted out, but two candidates stand out: Bianca Belair, after a year in tag team wrestling, returns to singles competition, and Charlotte Flair, who is more likely to emerge as the winner of the Royal Rumble, reaffirming her position as the “Ultimate Boss” of WWE.
- WWE Tag Team Champions #DIY vs. Motor City Machine Guns (2-out-of-3 Falls Match): The Motor City Machine Guns have performed phenomenally since their arrival in WWE and could recapture the titles, but it’s no sure thing. #DIY has allies like Pretty Deadly, and a big comeback is possible in this match. Action and uncertainty reign in this clash for the tag team championships, but Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa are more likely to retain their titles.
