It's that time of the year again when WWE fans anticipate a Royal Rumble event full of stellar action, surprises, and of course the start of the patented Road to WrestleMania.

While the two Rumble matches themselves are obviously the star attractions here, the wider Royal Rumble card has shaped up nicely, with Cody Rhodes defending his Undisputed WWE Championship against former friend Kevin Owens, and the Motor City Machine Guns get the chance to reclaim the WWE Tag Team Championships as they challenge #DIY.

As for the over-the-top bouts, both the men's and women's Royal Rumbles are coming together very nicely. For the men, heavy hitters such as CM Punk, Roman Reigns, John Cena, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn, and Logan Paul are amongst to be confirmed for the Rumble, whereas the women's match will include major names like Charlotte Flair, IYO SKY, Bayley, Bianca Belair, Naomi, Nia Jax, Liv Morgan, and Lyra Valkyria. As is ever the case when it comes to the Royal Rumble, there's also plenty of speculation as to who may make a surprise appearance, with Becky Lynch, Jordynne Grace, and even the Rock among those rumoured to be at this latest WWE Premium Live Event.

Away from the Royal Rumbles, the rivalry between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens continues to rumble on. With Owens growing frustrated with the American Nightmare's willingness to team with Roman Reigns, KO finally snapped on his now-former-friend after WWE Bad Blood back in October. Since then, the Prizefighter has yet to get the better of Cody in a formal match, although the Canadian has left Rhodes laying a number of times, most notably hitting the Undisputed WWE Champion with a Package Piledriver following the pair's match at Saturday Night's Main Event at the end of 2024. With Kevin Owens nowadays claiming ownership of the classic Winged Eagle belt, that title and Cody Rhodes' Undisputed WWE Title will be held above the ring in a ladder match at the 2025 Royal Rumble.

As for the other title match scheduled for Royal Rumble, the Motor City Machine Guns find themselves with a chance to become two-time WWE Tag Team Champions as they go up against the #DIY tandem of Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. Similar to the issues between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin were long-time friends with Gargano and Ciampa, but that all came to an end with #DIY utilised underhand tactics to dethrone MCMG for those titles.

Given how the Royal Rumble matches themselves often tend to sneak past the one-hour mark, it looks as if WWE is taking a four-match approach when it comes to the Rumble card. Then again, it wouldn't be a total surprise to see another match added by the time the PLE starts, with WWE under Paul 'Triple H' Levesque usually putting together five-match line-ups when it comes to its Premium Live Events.
