Massive names, including 4 WWE legends, may compete in the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble, says Sam Roberts
The 2025 WWE Royal Rumble is set to take place at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, on February 1. Meanwhile, WWE analyst Sam Roberts claimed the upcoming Men's Royal Rumble Match could become the most star-studded affair in the company's history.
John Cena will embark on his Retirement Tour in 2025. The Franchise Player recently confirmed that he would be at the upcoming Royal Rumble Premium Live Event. On his Notsam Wrestling podcast, Roberts predicted that the 47-year-old would compete in the Men's Royal Rumble Match. Meanwhile, he pointed out that several other legends, including The Rock, Randy Orton, and CM Punk, could also participate in the prestigious match for a world championship shot at WrestleMania 41.
The RAW Talk host added that other top names could also participate in the Men's Royal Rumble Match. His list included Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Drew McIntyre, and potentially Cody Rhodes if The American Nightmare lost the Undisputed WWE Championship before the PLE.
"I think he'll [Cena] be in the Battle Royal, but we'll see. However, if John Cena is in the Royal Rumble, this year's Royal Rumble has the opportunity to just be star-studded upon star-studded. You're talking about, I mean, think about what you could have in the Royal Rumble this year. You could have John Cena, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, Jacob Fatu—who knows? Maybe Cody Rhodes; maybe The Rock," he said.
The 41-year-old WWE analyst named more potential entrants, including Jey Uso and Drew McIntyre, stating that the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble Match could become the biggest star-studded affair of all time.
"You're talking about Bron Breakker. Maybe AJ Styles will be back, Drew McIntyre, and Jey Uso. And there are other names that I'm not gonna say because people go on Twitter and act like I'm breaking news when I'm just wildly speculating. But there are so many names that are possible for the Royal Rumble this year. I think this could be the most star-studded Royal Rumble of all time!" he added. [49:56-51:11]
The WWE analyst predicted the winner of the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble
On a previous edition of his Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts suggested John Cena could fail to win the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble Match. However, the analyst said that The Doctor of Thuganomics could later win the Men's Elimination Chamber Match.
Meanwhile, the 41-year-old predicted that Roman Reigns would win the Men's Royal Rumble Match for the second time in his career.
"In my mind, Roman Reigns wins the 2025 Royal Rumble. John Cena wins the 2025 Elimination Chamber," he said.
It will be interesting to see if Sam Roberts' predictions about the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble Match come true.
