Massive WWE names are expected to participate in the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble Match. Meanwhile, WWE analyst Sam Roberts suggested a top RAW star may win the match if Roman Reigns does not.
Speaking on his Notsam Wrestling podcast, the 41-year-old discussed the upcoming Men's Royal Rumble Match. Sam pointed out that the OTC was his first pick to win the match. However, the analyst also claimed that in case Roman doesn't win, CM Punk can be the one to overcome 29 other competitors and reserve his spot in the main event of WrestleMania 41.
The RAW Talk host suggested Punk could enter the Royal Rumble at number one with The Second City Saint's former rival, Drew McIntyre, entering at number two. He proposed that the two could remain until the end, with the two-time WWE Champion eliminating The Scottish Warrior to win the match.

"If not Roman Reigns, maybe [CM] Punk. Maybe Punk is the winner, you know, I don't mind that. What if Punk and Drew are number one and two, and Punk and Drew are also the last two, and then Punk eliminates Drew, and he's the winner? Yeah, yeah, could be," he said. [1:10:51-1:11:09]

CM Punk to face a former WWE Champion at WrestleMania 41? Veteran predicts
CM Punk was reportedly planned to square off with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40 before The Best in The World suffered an injury, forcing WWE to change directions. The anticipated match will now take place on RAW's debut on Netflix on January 6.
Speaking on his Cheap Heat podcast, former 24/7 Champion Peter Rosenberg suggested Punk could now face Roman Reigns at the upcoming Show of Shows in Las Vegas.
"So, I was doing an interview with my friend Jonathan Zaslow, who does a nice wrestling program, and he was suggesting to me the thought that if we're getting CM Punk and Seth Rollins on 1/6, does that mean that likely CM Punk and Seth Rollins is not a WrestleMania match anymore? So, do you think now that CM Punk is gonna try to get Paul Heyman to return the favor at WrestleMania, and we're gonna get CM Punk [vs.] Roman Reigns at WrestleMania this year?" Rosenberg said.
It will be interesting to see if The Straight Edge Superstar wins the Men's Royal Rumble Match or if he battles the OTC at WrestleMania 41.
