The road to WrestleMania will officially kickstart on February 1, 2025, at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. WWE will host their first Premium Live Event of the year, WWE Royal Rumble 2025, featuring both the Men’s and the Women’s Royal Rumble matches.
This is an exciting time to be a WWE fan, as they will begin building up the hype for The Showcase of Immortals with WWE Royal Rumble 2025. So, let us see a few possible WWE superstars who might win the Men’s Royal Rumble match, guaranteeing them a title shot for the World Championship of their choosing at WrestleMania 41.
1. John Cena
‘John Cena made an exciting announcement to kick start 2025 when he appeared on WWE RAW’s debut episode on Netflix to start his ‘farewell tour’. Mr. Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect announced that he will earn his way to challenge for his 17th World Title by entering and winning the Men’s Royal Rumble match.
There have been rumours that John Cena is expected to face Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41. Moreover, the fans are largely supporting him to win the 30-man over-the-tope-rope melee. This could see Cena win the Royal Rumble match for the third time in his career at WWE Royal Rumble 2025 to challenge Rhodes for the title at WrestleMania.
2. CM Punk
CM Punk has been making headlines in the professional wrestling industry after defeating his arch-rival Seth Rollins clean in the main event of WWE RAW’s debut episode on Netflix. Now, the next step for The Second City Saint is to chase a WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
After defeating Seth Rollins on Monday Night RAW, Punk announced that he wanted to earn the right to challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Title, hinting at entering the Men’s Royal Rumble match. CM Punk is one of the top WWE superstars of all time and is an instant favourite to win the WWE Royal Rumble 2025 match.
3. Drew McIntyre
One of the most memorable Royal Rumble match victories in recent memory came at WWE Royal Rumble 2020, when the Scottish Warrior Drew McIntyre outlasted the entire competition to challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Title. Now, McIntyre could win the rumble match again to repeat history.
Drew McIntyre single-handedly stole the show last year with his terrific performances repeatedly in the WWE. Many in the WWE Universe believe that the Scottish Psychopath should be fighting for the World Title, and he seems like a top candidate to win the Men’s Rumble match at WWE Royal Rumble 2025.
4. The Rock
According to recent reports, The Rock might not compete at this year’s WrestleMania. But it does not change that he remains an odds-on favourite in the betting odds to win the Men’s Royal Rumble match at the WWE Royal Rumble 2025.
Earlier last year, there were reports that The Final Boss was set to face Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41. However, as per recent updates, the plans might have changed due to The Rock’s unavailability. We all know plans can change in the WWE on a whim due to The Rock, which has put him as one of the heavy favorites to win the Royal Rumble match.
