Whether he will achieve so remains to be seen, but a win at the Royal Rumble will clinch him a title shot at WrestleMania 41. The last time LA Knight fought for a major title in WWE was his match against Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship.
#6. Jey Uso aims to win the Royal Rumble Match for the first time ever
The Yeet Master had an incredible run in 2024, which saw him claim his first-ever singles title in WWE, and now wants to take it to the next level and become World Champion.
He will enter the Royal Rumble ready to win it, but before that, he will get a title match against the reigning World Heavyweight Champion Gunther at Saturday Night's Main Event on January 25.
#5. Drew McIntyre will compete at the Rumble
The Scottish Warrior targeted The OG Bloodline upon his return, but on Monday, he re-ignited his feud with Seth Rollins and CM Punk before declaring for the Royal Rumble.
He has his sights set on Roman Reigns, but at the same time, he wants to become champion again at WrestleMania.
#4. Seth Rollins wants to stop CM Punk from winning the Rumble
The Visionary is trying to recover from his loss to CM Punk in the main event of the RAW premiere on Netflix last week. He declared for the Rumble Match to prevent CM Punk from getting a title shot at 'Mania.
At the same time, though, he knows that a win in Indianapolis will make sure that he will main event WrestleMania 41, bringing him very close to becoming World Champion again.
#3. CM Punk wants to dethrone Gunther or Cody Rhodes
In his first match on RAW after more than a decade, CM Punk stood tall and triumphed over Seth Rollins. Now, he wants to take the next step and get a title opportunity at WrestleMania 41.
He knows he will have to overcome several top stars to achieve his goal, but he has shown he can overcome all obstacles.
#2. Roman Reigns wants the Undisputed WWE Championship back
Now that he has reclaimed the Ula Fala, Roman Reigns wants his Undisputed WWE Championship back. He can't face Cody Rhodes at the Royal Rumble since The American Nightmare will put his title on the line against Kevin Owens.
Thus, he wants to win the Rumble and go on to main event 'Mania against Cody Rhodes for a third year in a row.
#1. John Cena will compete at the Royal Rumble for the final time in his career
This will be a big moment for The Cenation Leader, who will compete at Royal Rumble for the last time in his career. John Cena has made it clear that he would win it, as he wants a title shot at 'Mania in search of his record-breaking 17th World Championship.
The 16-time World Champion will have his first match in WWE in a very long time, but he wants to win the Rumble for a third time and get a title shot in his final WrestleMania.
