The Royal Rumble has fewer matches than most WWE event. That’s the downside of two showcase battles royale that can last more than an hour each.
Despite this, the Rumble remains arguably the most fun of all the company’s live events. WWE’s first big showcase since Raw debuted on Netflix should be a spectacle in all the best ways, ranging from the 30-person dueling rumbles to the world championship ladder match between actual champion Cody Rhodes and people’s champ Kevin Owens.
The premium live event preshow starts at 6 p.m. ET. The 2025 Royal Rumble begins at 7 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on Peacock from Indianapolis’s Lucas Oil Stadium. Here’s the match card so far, in no particular order.

- Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Kevin Owens in a ladder match for the Undisputed WWE Championship
