WWE Royal Rumble Streams on Netflix for First Time

The WWE Royal Rumble 2025, set to air on February 1 from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, is generating significant anticipation due to its live streaming debut on Netflix, marking a first for the event. Major stars like John Cena, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins are confirmed participants, with potential surprise appearances from Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and possibly TNA's Jordynne Grace and Josh Alexander. The event will include 30-person battle royals for both men's and women's divisions, and a ladder match featuring Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Despite the excitement, the event's buildup has been criticized for lack of interaction among confirmed participants, which was a strong element in previous years. Additionally, the event promises to showcase rising talents from NXT, including Trick Williams and Oba Femi, who are expected to make significant impacts during the matches.
