John Cena is a two-time Royal Rumble winner

If Cena ends up winning the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble match, it would make him only the second superstar to win the annual free-for-all thrice. Only one man in the history of WWE has won the classic match thrice. WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin won the match in 1997, 1998, and 2001.

As for John Cena, his first Royal Rumble win came in 2008 in what's considered by many fans as one of the most shocking moments in WWE history. Cena was out with an injury and wasn't supposed to return for a long time. He came out at #30 to one of the biggest pops in the history of WWE. He went on to throw Triple H out to win the match. Five years later, Cena eliminated Ryback to win the 2013 Royal Rumble Match.
