Royal Rumble 2025 received mixed reactions from the fans. But there are mostly negative reactions due to the shocking victory of Jey Uso and an extremely predictable victory of Charlotte Flair on the women's half. By the reaction of the crowd, it looked like the fans were really happy with both of the victories, but in reality, things were different.
In addition to that, there were some other negative sides about the two Royal Rumble matches too. The strong run of Logan Paul was not accepted by the fans either. When top stars like Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre could not even get into the final 6, Logan Paul finished in the top 3. This had been a huge matter of criticism for the fans and Paul always receives main event status bookings where he is nothing but a part timer.

"Unfortunately, I didn’t see the one coming behind me, who apparently jumped on the table, scaffold hi s way back over to the steps and caught me off guard.But this is the WWE. You will lose. You will win. Accept it. Move on. Next Big Thing.”
There had been a lot of questionable booking decisions in the Royal Rumble match including Styles getting eliminated by Logan Paul. A huge number of fans are arguing that if only getting over with the fans and getting WWE money can get you such success, why was LA Knight neglected then? Maybe he could have won too if he was Samoan.
