WWE Royal Rumble 2025 is all set to hit the TV screens of millions of WWE fans worldwide on February 1, 2025, when the 38th annual instalment of the event will take place at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The event has already sold over 60,000 tickets, which will be one of the largest attendances in the event’s history.
WWE has already announced a stacked card for the Royal Rumble event. In addition to both Men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches, Cody Rhodes is slated to defend his Undisputed WWE title against Owens in a ladder match. However, the news that has caught everyone’s attention is John Cena’s participation in the Men’s Rumble match, and there is a very good reason why he should be the Ironman in the match at WWE Royal Rumble 2025.
Why John Cena Should Be the Ironman of Royal Rumble 2025?
John Cena returned to the WWE on RAW’s episode on Netflix, kickstarting his ‘retirement tour’. During his return, Cena announced that he would participate in the Men’s Royal Rumble match at WWE Royal Rumble 2025 to chase his 7th World title at WrestleMania 41. This will make Cena’s first Rumble appearance since 2018.
Now, Since Mr Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect will be participating in the Men’s Royal Rumble match, it would be a very wise decision for the veteran to be the Ironman in the match at WWE Royal Rumble 2025, which would be essential to navigate through his journey to chase his 17th World Title on the ‘Road to WrestleMania’.
During his appearance on RAW, John Cena made it clear that he wanted to earn his shot at the World Title and found himself having self-doubts since he had not been able to win a one-on-one match in the company for several years. WWE has stuck lightning in the bottle with this angle since the story of his struggles would drive fans even crazy to root for Cena in his journey to win his 17th World Title.
Apart from the storyline and self-doubts angle that WWE would be able to run when Cena becomes the Ironman by entering, earning and lasting longer while still falling short of winning the match, it would be extremely telling of Cena’s endurance, stamina, and skill, which will further make the WWE Universe believe that The Goat can still go in the ring.
