WWE Royal Rumble 2025: Match card predictions, winners, and rumoured returns

New Delhi: The WWE Royal Rumble 2025 is shaping up to be an electrifying event, with fans eagerly anticipating thrilling matches and unexpected returns. This year’s lineup promises intense showdowns and the potential comeback of several legendary superstars. In this article, we’ll delve into detailed predictions for the event’s key matches and discuss the stars rumored to make a surprise return.

Women’s Royal Rumble Match

The Women’s Royal Rumble is always a highlight, featuring 30 competitors vying for a championship opportunity at WrestleMania. This year, the competition is fierce, with both rising talents and seasoned veterans entering the fray. Charlotte Flair returns to the ring in the Rumble, with veterans like Mitchelle McCool and Layla could reunite inside the match. However, Iyo Sky has been a standout performer throughout the year, and she will be the one to watch out for.

Iyo Sky has been on a remarkable trajectory, showcasing her exceptional in-ring abilities and earning the admiration of fans worldwide. Her agility and innovative offense make her a formidable contender. A victory here could catapult her into the main event scene, setting up a compelling storyline (with Rhea Ripley?) leading into WrestleMania.

  • Predicted winner: Iyo Sky
  • Iron-woman: Jordynn Grace/Jade Cargill

In a tag team clash that promises high-octane action, DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) faces off against the Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin). Both teams are renowned for their chemistry and technical prowess, making this a must-watch encounter.

Given their extensive experience and recent momentum, the Motor City Machine Guns are poised to secure the victory. Their innovative tandem offense and strategic teamwork could overwhelm DIY, leading to a championship win. Additionally, the veterans are quite popular among the fans, and giving them the titles will help elevate the tag team division in the Road to WrestleMania.

Predicted winner: Motor City Machine Guns

Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Kevin Owens

The WWE Championship match features reigning champion Cody Rhodes defending his title against the relentless Kevin Owens. Both superstars have a storied history and a reputation for delivering show-stealing performances. While Kevin Owens presents a significant challenge, Cody Rhodes’ recent title defenses have demonstrated his resilience and determination. It’s anticipated that Rhodes will retain his championship, possibly through a hard-fought and closely contested battle.

This storyline has been the best rivalry in the American Nightmare’s reign and it can help him reach new heights. Kevin Owens is Mr. Royal Rumble due to his excellent main event showing in the past few years, and this Ladder Match can be the show stealer if done properly.

Predicted winner: Cody Rhodes retains the title

The Men’s Royal Rumble is always a spectacle, with 30 superstars battling for a coveted WrestleMania main event spot. This year’s lineup includes a mix of emerging talents and established names, making predictions particularly challenging. This year includes a massive talent pool, with CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, and many more are all main-eventers who have shown their determination to win the Rumble in the past few weeks.

This star-studded affair has the potential to become the best Royal Rumble ever. The unpredictability of this year’s Rumble has made fans go ga-ga on the internet with conspiracy theories about the potential winner.

John Cena’s legacy in WWE is unparalleled, and a Royal Rumble victory would make an excellent storyline about his hunt for the historic 17th Championship win. With this Rumble being his final one and the rumoured championship run, Cena’s win could set the stage for a marquee match at WrestleMania.

  • Predicted Winner: John Cena
  • Iron-man: Carmelo Hayes/Penta

Anticipated returns in WWE Royal Rumble 2025

 

Royal Rumble events are notorious for surprise returns, and this year is no exception. Several legends are rumored to make a comeback, adding excitement and unpredictability to the matches.

Women’s Royal Rumble Potential Returns:

  • AJ Lee: A former Divas Champion, AJ Lee’s return has been speculated for years. Her unique charisma and in-ring skills would be a significant addition to the women’s division.
  • Nikki Bella: According to recent reports, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella is in talks for a potential return at the Royal Rumble. Her comeback would undoubtedly elicit a massive reaction from the WWE Universe.
  • Trish Stratus: A WWE Hall of Famer, Trish Stratus has made sporadic appearances in recent years. Her participation would bring a nostalgic element to the match and inspire current competitors.
  • Jade Cargill: Jade Cargill has been putting up cryptic tweets whenever Naomi and Bianca Belair are interviewed, making it quite prevalent that “Big Jade” will come to take receipts inside the rumble match against a possible betrayer.

Men’s Royal Rumble Potential Returns:

  • Randy Orton: A multi-time world champion, Randy Orton’s return would inject star power into the Rumble. If Kevin Owens enters the Rumble after losing to Cody Rhodes, WWE can continue the Orton-Owens feud for the Road to WrestleMania.
  • Omos: The towering giant has been absent from WWE programming, and his return could shift the dynamics of the match, given his overwhelming physical presence.
  • Aleister Black: Known for his dark persona and striking ability, Aleister Black’s comeback would excite fans eager to see his unique style back in the ring. He is reportedly done with AEW, and a Royal Rumble without an unexpected return doesn’t feel like one. Hence, bringing back the ‘Black Mass’ to the company can do wonders for the company and the talent.

 WWE Royal Rumble 2025 promises to be one of the greatest rumbles ever in the history. From Cody Rhodes’ title defence to the highly anticipated Royal Rumble matches, expect an unforgettable night of wrestling.  WWE Sports News: Latest Cricket News, Cricket Live Score, Sports Breaking News from Sports Today
