Charlotte Flair wins the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble
The Queen is headed to WrestleMania 41.
Charlotte Flair won the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble in her grand return to WWE, last eliminating Roxanne Perez to seal the victory.
The match began with two former Women’s World Champions, as IYO SKY entered at the unenviable No. 1 spot, with Liv Morgan entering at the equally unlucky No. 2, setting up an early showdown between two of WWE’s best.
The ring quickly filled up as NXT’s Roxanne Perez (No. 3), Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria (No. 4) and Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green (No. 5) all entered the fray, only for the four Superstars to team up on the loudmouthed Green.
The first former Women’s Royal Rumble winner to enter the match was WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Bianca Belair at No. 10, and The EST stacked her opponents and beat them down in the corner.
2024 Royal Rumble winner Bayley entered at No. 12, and the other half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Naomi entered at No. 15, which led to all three members of Pure Fusion Collective being eliminated at one time.
The paradigm shifted when Jordynne Grace entered at No. 19 in her first match as a WWE Superstar. Grace promptly eliminated NXT’s Jaida Parker (No. 16) and hit a stunning Death Valley Driver on Piper Niven (No. 17).
The stunners came later in the match, as former Raw and SmackDown Women’s Champions Alexa Bliss (No. 21) and Charlotte Flair (No. 27), current NXT Women’s Champion Giulia (No. 28) and WWE Hall of Famers Trish Stratus (No. 25) and Nikki Bella (No. 30) all entered the match.
Jax eliminated several Superstars at the same time, setting a new record for most career eliminations by a female Superstar with 29 as well as most eliminations in a single Women’s Royal Rumble Match with nine. After Jax’s dominant run, the field whittled to just Flair, Jax, Perez and Bella.
After The Irresistible Force tossed out Bella, The Queen and The Prodigy teamed up on Jax and eliminated her. Seconds later, Flair nailed one final Big Boot to send Perez flying off the apron to the floor to become the first two-time winner of the Women’s Royal Rumble.
WWE Tag Team Champions #DIY def. The Motor City Machine Guns – 2-out-of-3 Falls Match
Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano walked out of Indianapolis with their title as they defeated Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match.
#DIY used some veteran savvy to fake a tag and trick Shelley, leading to Ciampa still being the legal man. Ciampa took advantage by cracking his opponent with a running knee strike to give his team the all-important first fall.
The champions continued to press the challengers and made sure Shelley couldn’t tag out, but one well-timed kick allowed Sabin to finally get in the match and change the momentum for his team.
With the script flipped, MCMG neutralized Gargano and hit Skull and Bones to even the matchup at one fall apiece.
Ciampa and Sabin battled inside the ring, and the champion nailed the Fairytale Ending and Project Ciampa, only for the challenger to somehow kick out.
The two teams battled to a near stalemate when, out of nowhere, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins attacked Sabin and Shelley, allowing Ciampa and Gargano to hit Meeting in the Middle to win the bout.
After the match, The Street Profits also brutalized the champions and held the gold high over their heads.
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes def. Kevin Owens – Ladder Match
The bitter rivals couldn’t wait to brutalize one another as Kevin Owens smashed Cody Rhodes through a ladder before the two battled throughout the enormous crowd.
Champion and challenger finally got back in the ring and battered each other with ladders, but Rhodes found himself dangling from the titles, only to be caught in mid-air with a Powerbomb.
Owens’ relentless attack on Rhodes was nearly punctuated by a Package Piledriver on a ladder, but it backfired when The American Nightmare hit a back body drop onto a separate ladder.
Despite Rhodes fighting back, Owens grabbed him off the ladder and hit another Powerbomb, this time on a ladder set up in the corner.
The challenger went for broke and executed a devastating avalanche fisherman suplex onto a ladder, forcing SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis and even Sami Zayn to come to ringside to assess the carnage.
A quick Cross Rhodes gave the champion the advantage, but Owens rallied and attempted another Package Piledriver onto a ladder. Rhodes, however, countered with a huge Alabama slam from the announce table to the ladder positioned between the table and the ring.
With Owens down and out, The American Nightmare scaled the ladder and retrieved both titles to win the match.
Jey Uso wins the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble
YEET! Jey Uso earned a world title match at WrestleMania by outlasting 29 other Superstars and winning the 2025 Royal Rumble.
The Royal Rumble began with some serious lucha star power as WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio entered at No. 1 with Monday Night Raw’s newest sensation Penta starting at No. 2.
Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker came in at No. 7, sprinted to the ring, Speared Carmelo Hayes (No. 4) and tossed his former NXT rival over the top rope for the match’s first elimination.
As he walked to the backstage area, Hayes blindsided No. 7 Akira Tozawa with a ruthless forearm strike, and Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque replaced him with streamer iShowSpeed, who took a hellacious Spear from Breakker.
Jacob Fatu entered at No. 12 and cleaned house, eliminating Mysterio, Chad Gable (No. 3) and Andrade (No. 11) in a matter of moments.
TNA World Champion Joe Hendry entered the match at No. 15 to much fanfare before he too was dropped by Fatu.
The Tribal Chief himself Roman Reigns entered the match at No. 16 and eliminated The Miz (No. 14), Sheamus (No. 9), Hendry and Breakker.
Jey Uso (No. 20), AJ Styles (No. 21) and Braun Strowman (No. 22) entered the match with The Monster of All Monsters going right after Fatu, eliminating The Samoan Werewolf in stunning fashion.
Once that dust settled, John Cena (No. 23) entered his final Royal Rumble with longtime rival CM Punk entering right behind him at No. 24.
After the field was complete, chaos ensued when Punk eliminated Reigns and Seth “Freakin” Rollins (No. 25) at the same time before Punk quickly got tossed by Logan Paul (No. 30). A furious Rollins landed a devastating Stomp on Reigns before brawling with Punk and later followed up with a second Stomp on The Tribal Chief, this time into the steel steps.
After Cena clotheslined Paul over the top rope, Cena and Uso battled on the apron. Seconds later, the YEET man escaped a potential Attitude Adjustment, slid back into the ring and shoved Cena to the floor, securing his spot in the main event of WrestleMania 41.
