WWE Royal Rumble 2025 Stadium

Royal Rumble 2025 will take place live from the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is a multi-purpose stadium and is the home of the NFL side Indianapolis Colts. With a capacity of around 65,000 spectators, the event is also reported to host WrestleMania and SummerSlam sometime in the future.

Which Title can the Royal Rumble winner challenge for?

The highlight of the night is always the eponymous Royal Rumble match. The winner of the Royal Rumble match has traditionally been awarded a match against the world champion at WrestleMania, which is usually the main event of The Grandest Stage of Them All. For WrestleMania XL, the winner of the Men's Royal Rumble Match can go for either the World Heavyweight Championship or the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. For the Women's Royal Rumble Winner, the choice remains between the WWE Women's Championship and the Women's World Championship.

For the 2020 and 2021 Royal Rumble, the NXT Championship was also an option for the winner and the same was exercised by Charlotte Flair who challenged then-NXT Women's Champion Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 36. However, the option seems to have been scrapped now. In 2022, The Money in the Bank winner Austin Theory cashed in his briefcase on the United States Champion Seth 'Freakin' Rollins. Thus, it is also possible that the Royal Rumble winner can also use his opportunity on a title other than the world title. However, the probability of that happening is almost zero.

Royal Rumble 2024 Results

Fatal Four Way Match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship

Randy Orton, sidelined by injury in 2022, returned at Survivor Series with fire in his eyes, his sights set squarely on The Bloodline. Roman Reigns, still clinging to the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship with the help of his kin, had become Orton's ultimate target. LA Knight, fueled by his own thwarted attempts at the title, promised to dethrone Reigns, but fate had other plans. AJ Styles re-emerged, first backing Knight and Orton against their common enemy, then leaving everyone reeling with a surprise betrayal. His personal vendetta with Knight overshadowed the title chase, creating a tangled web of rivalries.

SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis organized a triple threat clash between Orton, Knight, and Styles. The winner, he declared, would earn a shot at Reigns at the Royal Rumble. The Bloodline struck the match, leaving all three contenders battered and the match in utter chaos. Responding to the mayhem, Aldis reshuffled the deck. He threw Orton, Knight, and Styles into the Royal Rumble title match with Reigns himself, transforming it into a thrilling fatal four-way showdown.

Logan Paul (c) vs Kevin Owens - United States Championship Match
