WWE Royal Rumble 2025 Predictions: AJ Lee Will 100% Be There
By Mark Justice
Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Liv Morgan vs. Becky Lynch [WWE Women's World Title]
When Rhea Ripley dethroned Liv Morgan on the Raw Netflix Debut, Becky Lynch was supposed to return to the WWE after being out of the ring for eight months. However, her return was reportedly scrapped for the Undertaker to have a "passing of the torch" moment with Rhea Ripley. Since Liv Morgan has a rematch clause and Becky Lynch was an intermediary for the Ripley-Morgan saga before she left in May, a triple threat match amongst these three women would be an effective way to close this chapter. Since Ripley just won the title, the correct booking decision is for her to retain.
Prediction: Rhea Ripley
Men's Royal Rumble [Battle Royal]
The top favorites to win the Men's Royal Rumble seem to be men who already won the Royal Rumble, such as John Cena, Roman Reigns, The Rock, Seth Rollins, and Drew McIntyre. However, in order to share the wealth, there is one dark horse, CM Punk, who could shock the world with his first Royal Rumble victory in what is truly long overdue. There could also be many surprise returns, such as Goldberg, AJ Styles, and Brock Lesnar, but they are unlikely to win the Rumble since they will still be getting their feet wet in some major feuds on their road to WrestleMania upon return.
While it is very likely that we could get a 2-time Rumble Winner this year, it would be wiser for WWE to crown a new Rumble Winner this year as a way to establish a new star in the main event scene. Since John Cena, Roman Reigns, The Rock, Seth Rollins, and Drew McIntyre have already had their share in the limelight for WrestleMania Main Events, CM Punk is the one who really need this victory. He has made it a mission to main event WrestleMania in his final run in the WWE and that anticipatory secret favor he has with Paul Heyman must lead to that ultimate goal one way or the other.
Prediction: CM Punk
