Former US Champion to win the Royal Rumble 2025? Chances explored

2025 is almost here, and the Royal Rumble is the first major PLE on WWE's calendar. It is a huge event, that could shape The Road to WrestleMania 41 for many superstars, especially those participating in the Rumble match. The upcoming one promises to be a doozy, and could even see a former US Champion stand victorious as the last man in the ring.

The former US Champion in question fooled everyone with suggestions that he had retired from pro wrestling. Logan Paul will be looking to win the Royal Rumble 2025. The 29-year-old will be back in peak wrestling condition in a few weeks, and when he does return next year, he has set himself a loft goal. A goal that can easily be accomplished by winning the Rumble match.

The Maverick recently appeared on the RAW on Netflix Kickoff show, where he was announced as the newest member of the red brand. As usual, Paul mouthed off to the WWE Universe in attendance, but in the process, he made a huge statement. He claimed that he would be a "future WWE World Champion." That is easier said than done, but winning the Royal Rumble definitely does make it a bit easier.

It certainly would be a dream come true for Logan to win the Rumble match. After all, he would have his pick of World Champions if he came out on top. But at this point, this is nothing more than speculation. Only time will tell how things unfold.

Logan Paul won't be the only one looking to win the Royal Rumble

If Logan Paul hopes to become a World Champion he will be hoping to be the last of 30 men in the ring come February 1, 2025. But he won't be the only one looking to win the Royal Rumble. In fact, a former five-time World Champion has already made it clear that winning the event is part of his grand plan.

The Best in the World, CM Punk made it clear that after helping The OG Bloodline win at Survivor Series: War Games he plans on main-eventing WrestleMania 41. But, to do that, he knows he must focus on winning one of two events. The Elimination Chamber match or, as has been mentioned several times already, the Rumble match.

However, even CM Punk is just one of the many superstars in the locker room looking to main event WrestleMania.
