The 2025 Royal Rumble is fast approaching, and a few superstars have already declared their attendance for the match. Top stars like CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Drew McIntyre have confirmed their participation in the match as they aim to secure a title shot at WrestleMania 41.
At the same time, Jey Uso is another WWE Superstar who has declared for the Royal Rumble. However, WWE may be forced to remove the Yeet Master from the premium live event for one reason: his title match against Gunther at Saturday Night's Main Event on January 25.
The former Intercontinental Champion has become the No.1 contender to the Ring General's World Heavyweight Championship. It will look to dethrone Gunther and become world champion for the first time in his career.
Still, his title opportunity could rule the 39-year-old out for the Royal Rumble Match, at least temporarily. WWE Creative could bring him back to the Match if he loses to Gunther at Saturday Night's Main Event, or he could keep him out and write him off TV for a few weeks with an injury.
