One of WWE’s greatest traditions is drawing near: The 39th annual Royal Rumble arrives on Jan. 31.
For every superstar on the roster who wants to be under the bright lights and hold championship gold, the importance of the Royal Rumble is unrivaled, because the winners of the men’s and women’s matches earn a shot at the world championship belt of their choice at WrestleMania. And this year will make history as WWE expands its global reach and ventures to Saudi Arabia, where the Royal Rumble will be held outside of North America for the first time.
The 2025 Royal Rumble ended in a stunner: Jey Uso eliminated John Cena to win the match en route to WrestleMania, where he defeated Gunther to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Who will be the lucky winners this year? Scroll on for everything to know about the upcoming Premium Live Event.
