The 2025 Royal Rumble is fast approaching. It is the first major premium live event of the year, is considered one of WWE's biggest PLEs, and has huge implications for WrestleMania 41.

The 2025 Royal Rumble will take place this Saturday, February 1, in Indianapolis. The venue is Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the NFL team Indianapolis Colts. The start time is 6 p.m. ET/ 3 p.m. PT.

The match card for the event has yet to be finalized, but it currently features the Men's and Women's Royal Rumble Matches. The respective winners will be guaranteed a title shot at WrestleMania 41.

In addition, Cody Rhodes will put his Undisputed WWE Championship on the line against Kevin Owens in a Ladder Match, while DIY will defend their WWE Tag Team Titles in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match against Motor City Machine Guns.

It is unclear yet if the other titles will be defended at the Rumble or if any match will be added to the card, but the go-home editions of RAW on Netflix and SmackDown this week will shed more light on what the final match card will look like.
