Royal Rumble 2025, the first premium live event of the year, will take place on February 1. 30 male and female superstars will compete in their respective matches to get a title match at Wrestlemania 41.

It’s been fairly established that entering the Royal Rumble late enhances your chances of winning the match and advancing to WrestleMania: 14 men’s Rumble winners have entered the match in the last five spots (including Alberto Del Rio’s entry at #38 in 2011).

According to a recent report, a fan-favorite WWE Superstar is unfortunately going to miss the 2025 Royal Rumble due to recently suffering an injury.
