Alleged 2025 WWE Royal Rumble match list surfaces online

A supposed leaked document detailing the complete lineup for the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match has emerged on X. The list includes 31 names for the traditional 30-participant match, with John Cena listed as the winner and The Rock appearing in a non-existent 31st entry position.

The document surfaced ahead of the 38th annual Royal Rumble event, scheduled for February 1 at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium. The match traditionally offers its winner a World Championship opportunity at WrestleMania.

The alleged list features a mix of current roster members, part-time performers, and NXT talents, including Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Andrade, and AJ Styles among the early entries. Later numbers are assigned to prominent names like Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns, and The Rock.

Mustafa Ali emerges as potential Royal Rumble returnee

As rumors continue to circulate about potential Royal Rumble participants, former TNA X-Division Champion Mustafa Ali has addressed speculation about his possible WWE return.

During an appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Ali discussed maintaining positive relationships with WWE personnel since his September 2023 departure.

The former 205 Live competitor has established himself in TNA Wrestling’s championship scene during his time away from WWE. A Royal Rumble appearance would mark Ali’s first WWE appearance in nearly two years, adding another layer of intrigue to the event’s traditional surprise entrant spots.
