WWE Royal Rumble 2025: Predicting All 30 Entrants
23. Penta
As aforementioned, poor Chad Gable will do his best Chavo Guerrero impression by being fed to the debuting Penta on the 13 January edition of Raw. Chavo bumped around nicely for WWE newbie Rey Mysterio back in 2002, and Chad will be expected to do the same for a certain Lucha Bro once he brings his brand of mayhem to company screens via Netflix.
After that, Penta can move fowards to the Rumble and into his first proper feud.
How cool would it be if he locked horns with Bron Breakker and got an IC Title rivalry right away? Failing that, if Triple H wants to wait on Rey Fenix and put Penta in a tag-team scenario, he can always bump into Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa. The New Bloodline will be seeking some fresh meat to target anyway, and warring with them guarantees screen time for the Lucha Bros.
It's win-win.
24. Roman Reigns
Jim Ross would pause for a second to let the music ring out and the audience react, then he'd say: 'Well, it looks like business has just picked up'. A line like that would be ideal for Roman Reigns once he enters the Rumble. This feels like a rarity for Roman - he hasn't been in the 30-man match since playing runner up to Drew McIntyre in 2020.
If Penta does fancy doing something with Fatu and Solo, then he better hurry, because 'Tribal Chief' Reigns will slap both silly almost as soon as he enters the fray on 1 February. Roman will become one of the match favourites instantly due to his immense star power, no doubt, but he might end up being eliminated by an invading Rock or due to CM Punk's slow roll towards victory.
Either one works well as a means to get him out of there.
