Royal Rumble 2025 had the potential to be the best Royal Rumble in the history. It even had the possibility to surpass the glory of Royal Rumble 2001. Both of the Royal Rumble matches had an excellent star studded lineup. It may be debatable to say but the lineup of the men's Rumble match was even stronger than the famous Rumble of 1992.
There had been multiple rumors about the potential winners of both Rumble matches. Now it is pretty much safe to say that the women's Rumble match came out with one of the most predictable Rumble winners in the history of WWE. The lineup of this match was definitely great but was it really as good as expected?
Why Royal Rumble 2025 Will Go Down As One of The Worst Rumbles in WWE History
Honestly speaking, not only the predictability, but the overall Rumble match was just bad. The best pop of the match was the return of Alexa Bliss, and surprisingly, she received a jobber treatment. Nia Jax being pushed s the impact player of the match and how she eliminated wrestlers at once does not make any sense either. She is already 40 and she is not a future prospect. She had absolutely no need for this monster push.
One more thing that needed to be said was selecting Charlotte Flair as the winner of the Rumble match. WWE did not put any kind of effort into building a new star throughout the entire 2024. All they focused on was building Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan's feud on RAW, and Nia Jax & Tiffany Stratton on SmackDown. Apart from Stratton, all of them were already stars. So picking Charlotte Flair had been an extremely lazy choice.
The men's Royal Rumble match of 2025 was won by Jey Uso
Now let us talk about the men's Rumble match. The women's Rumble match was just disappointing but the men's Rumble match can go down as the worst ever Rumble match. It indeed had the potential to go down as the best Rumble match ever as it had star power like Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, John Cena, and other big names in one single match, they went for a typical mid card wrestler as the winner of the match.
One may argue that Jey Uso is presently extremely over with the fans and he is also one of the top merch sellers of WWE right now. Since he is getting the promotion enough profit he deserved this push. If this is the argument for Jey's main event push, LA Knight is also quite over with the fans and he is also one of the top merch sellers.

It has been more than a couple of years and he is still one of the most over wrestlers of WWE. But the promotion did not consider him and Jey was picked. Maybe, LA Knight would have get the same main event push if he was a Samoan. It is pretty much clear that the Samoan wrestlers are suddenly getting excellent treatment from WWE. Maybe this is the biggest reason behind the push for Jey.
The abnormal overpushing of Logan Paul is also quite unacceptable. When regular maineventers like Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest could not even get into the final six, Logan Paul finished in the top 3. Moreover, there are multiple negative sides to the Royal Rumble 2025, and as time passes by, it is very unlikely that this event will be remembered for any kind of positivity.
