John Cena, CM Punk and Roman Reign to shine at the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble.
WWE RAW on Netflix greatly impacted John Cena, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns’ careers. John Cena got the power of his fan behind him which motivated him to announce that he will win the Royal Rumble. Roman Reigns defeated Solo Sikoa in a brutal match with all odds stacked against him and became the Undisputed Tribal Chief.
CM Punk also defeated Seth Rollin in the most physically tiring match of the Netflix premiere. These three legends will light up the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble set to air on February 1, 2025, from Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Indiana at 6:00 PM ET. The match will be the toughest with all three legends trying to win it and enter Wrestlemania as a Championship match contender.
John Cena has entered the last stage of in-ring career. He previously stated that Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and Wrestlemania would be his last major event and he will hang his boots after December 2025. He gave the crowd what they came for when they got the first glimpse of John Cena entering the ring at RAW’s Netflix Premiere.
The 16-time World Champion initially denied to be the champion for one last time. He stated that it’s a long process and asking WWE to give him a title shot would be an injustice with locker room talents. The crowd wanted Cena to become the 17-time world champion. This motivated Cena and he said that he was previously entering Men’s Royal Rumble as a contender but now he would win it for his fans.
