Royal Rumble 2025 Review.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Given the fact that I've talked to death about my love for this event over the past few days, i'm going to jump straight into the show. Cody Rhodes. Kevin Owens. Cm Punk. Seth Rollins. Bayley. Bianca Belair, and. Naomi, and of course my Tribal Chief Roman Reigns, were all seen showing to the stadium in Indianapolis.

Stephanie Mcmahon Opens The show.

Stephanie Mcmahon opened up the PLE, and what she said resonated with me. She said that this is the biggest Rumble in history, due to the fact that its being simulcast, between Peacock in the United States, and Netflix, for vast 80 percent of the globe were WWE had previous TV rights deals. What this said to me, is, oh what a difference five years make. Five years ago, here in the UK. WWE aired on BTSport, the now TNTSports. At the time this was considered to be a massive deal, as the Company's pressents here in the UK, gained way more traction, under the watch of the network, and now were here. Globalisation isn't just near, it's here, because the company is more profitable than ever.

Pat Mcafe Intro Video.

Look. I get it. I know that Pat Mcafe is a required taste, but. I like him, he has a form of energy, that if you bottled it up and sold it, you would be extremely well off.

The Womens Royal Rumble.

I didn't think this was the best Womens Rumble, but I also didn't hate it. The returns of Alexa Bliss. Charlotte Flair, and. Nikki Bella, and the NXT entrants, like. Roxanne Perez. Lash Legend. Jaida Parker. Stephanie Vaquer, and. Giulia, made for great suprises, and the debut of TNA's Jordyne Grace, was an added bonus. However, due to a lack of storyline, the match suffered from pacing issues. As the 30 ladies were wittled down to just 3. The exchanges between Nia Jax. Charlotte Flair, and. Roxanne Perez, were decent. Flair eliminated Jax, and she and Perez, gave us a possible taste of what is to come in the future. Flair eliminated Perez, and is now heading to Wrestlemania, to face an opponent of her choosing. I didn't like the ending. I just feel that WWE have gone to the well of Charlotte Flair, far to often, over the past decade. This should've been time for change in my opinion.

DIY vs The Motorcity Machine Gunns WWE Tag Team Championship.

I'm not sure what to make about this. I liked the action in all three stages, that led to the falls, I just think that it looked out of place, and should've been featured as a main event, set for television, and not for a PLE, and the return of The Street Profits, felt lazy, and predictable. DIY retained their belts 2-1 on the night.

Kevin Owens vs Cody Rhodes WWE Undisputed Championship Ladder Match.

I loved this. It was a bloodstained masterstroke, in solid booking, that the fans were up for. The ladders were broken apart and used as weapons, and the physicality spots, in which ladders were used as a third compatriot, were borderline sickening, the selling of concern, from Sami Zayn, and. Nick Aldis, along with KO getting busted open, added to the drama, but it was Cody who retained his belts, as he incapacitated KO, by slamming him through a cleverly placed ladder, from the announcers table, to the ring apron. This brought the PLE back into business.

Mens Royal Rumble.

From the perfect start of Rey Mysterio vs Penta, and the in built Storyline, sparking up a creative weave, that was a study in contrast, in comparison to the Womens Match. And Logan Paul, a man that reminds of wrestlings answer to a bag of black liqourice, something that I can't stand. I do understand why he's important to this scenario. By having a hand in eliminating Cm Punk. Seth rollins, and. Roman Reigns, he has created a universal, multiverse, paradox situation, which is a wrestling bookers, best form of a dream. The final 3 entrants, saw him. John Cena, and. Jey Uso have a series of great exchanges. That led to Jey taking out Cena, to book his place in the main event of Wrestlemania. I loved this ending. As the early hours of the morning started to dawn here in the UK. I had two trains of thought go through my mind, the first. Was that the Aftermath of the mens Rumble from a storytelling view through the looking glass, is going to have a serious after burn, that is going to be felt, even after the next PLE in one months time, and the second one, was the fact i'm no differant to the thousands that were in attendance, because just like them. I was yeeting all over the place. I'm a 37 year old man, and I acted like a child for fun. But that's the power of wrestling, it can make you believe, and feel, because at the end of the day. Isn't that the whole point?

Overview of WWE's Royal Rumble 2025.

From the shows midcard leaving me with a sense of just feeling whelmed, and both Rumble Matches being a heavy study in contrast. I have to say I enjoyed this Royal Rumble PLE Event. 

WWE's Royal Rimble 2025 is a 8/10.
