5 WWE Superstars who deserve to win the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble Match

The winner of the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble will earn a main event match against the World Champion of their choosing at WrestleMania 41.

WWE will present one of the most awaited events of the year, the Royal Rumble 2025. The show is set to take place on February 1, at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indiana, Indianapolis.

The field for the Men’s Royal Rumble has already taken shape with the addition of marquee names in the business, with some candidates worthy of winning the entire thing. Here are the top five WWE superstars who deserve to win the 2025 Men’s Rumble match:


John Cena


John Cena will compete in his last Royal Rumble match as part of his farewell tour that began on the RAW on Netflix debut show. Cena is all set to compete in the 30-man over-the-top-rope-melee to earn a chance at his 17th World title, a feat that fans believe he rightfully should get before his career comes to an end. The unwavering support for Cena and his status as a top name makes him very much deserving to win the Men’s Royal Rumble this year.


CM Punk


Winning a Royal Rumble match and earning a guaranteed main event title shot at WrestleMania has been on CM Punk’s bucket list for a long time. The Best in the World has all the momentum going after his huge victory over Seth Rollins on RAW on Netflix debut. His passion and lifelong dream of main eventing WrestleMania make him a top pick to emerge victorious this year in the Rumble match.


Seth Rollins

There is no better true workhorse in the company than Seth Rollins. The Visionary has always put the business before his own personal goals and has been one of the best WWE performers of the modern era. Following his defeat at the hands of CM Punk, Rollins needs to bounce back in a huge way and winning the 2025 Royal Rumble could be the opportunity to earn a ticket to his first singles WrestleMania main event in Las Vegas this year.



Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre emerged as one of the most popular WWE superstars of 2024. Yet, after all the hard work, success and fame, McIntyre has not had a proper championship run since 2020. WWE could capitalise on his entire year-long work and insert him back into the main event even by booking him to win the Royal Rumble for the second time, something he deserves for the tremendous work done last year.


Jey Uso


The year 2024 belonged to the rise of Main Event Jey Uso. The YEET man captivated the audience like no other, won his first singles title, and his fame increased by the week, with the YEET chants getting louder every week. With Jey declaring his intentions to become World Champion after a remarkable year, he is truly one of the top candidates who deserve to clinch victory in the 30-man Royal Rumble match.
