WWE Royal Rumble 2025 leaked participant list is real or not revealed

An alleged leaked document detailing the complete lineup for the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble matches has been confirmed as inaccurate. The list, which circulated on social media, contained notable inconsistencies, including an impossible 31st entry in the men’s match.

The apparent leak claimed Charlotte Flair would win the women’s match over Becky Lynch, while suggesting John Cena would emerge victorious in the men’s contest after eliminating The Rock. The Royal Rumble premium live event is scheduled for February 1, 2025, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Last year’s event saw Bayley and Cody Rhodes secure victories in their respective matches at St. Petersburg, Florida. The winners traditionally earn championship opportunities at WrestleMania.

Kevin Owens faces title ultimatum before Royal Rumble clash

SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis issued a directive to Kevin Owens regarding the Winged Eagle Championship, leading to a ladder match against Cody Rhodes at Royal Rumble 2025.

The championship contest’s timing allows WWE to feature distinct marquee matches across their upcoming events.

The scheduling decision positions the ladder match away from RAW’s Netflix debut on January 6, where Roman Reigns faces Solo Sikoa. This arrangement potentially enables Reigns to participate in the 30-person Royal Rumble match following his Tribal Combat.
