Major name teases first-ever WWE Royal Rumble appearance
A major star teased their first appearance at WWE Royal Rumble today on social media. The Premium Live Event takes place every January and typically features several surprises.
Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton took to social media today to promote Royal Rumble 2025. The NBA star appeared on the September 17 edition of NXT and potentially teased competing at Royal Rumble by noting that there are always surprises at the Premium Live Event. Next year's Royal Rumble will go down at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
"INDY, it’s almost time! Royal Rumble tickets will be available Friday November 15th with presale beginning Wednesday November 13th. The Rumble is always full of surprises👀," he wrote.
Cody Rhodes won this year's Men's Royal Rumble and went on to defeat Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania XL. Bayley won the Women's Royal Rumble match and defeated her former Damage CTRL stablemate, IYO SKY, to capture the WWE Women's Championship at The Show of Shows earlier this year.
WWE legend reveals what he said to Triple H backstage at Royal Rumble 2024
Wrestling veteran Diamond Dallas Page (DDP) disclosed what he said to Triple H while backstage at WWE Royal Rumble 2024.
Triple H currently serves as the promotion's Chief Content Officer and has guided the company to a ton of success as of late. Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter in an exclusive interview earlier this year, DDP shared what he told The Game at the Premium Live Event. DDP stated that Triple H had done a great job so far, and he congratulated him for putting on a great event.
"I don't really play those things, like, 'If I was doing it, I would do it this way,' because I think Triple H has done an unbelievable job of storytelling. I said to him last night [at the Royal Rumble], I got a chance to see him just half a minute, but always the classiest guy in the room. I just gave him a big hug and said, 'Man, great Rumble, bro.'"
