The 2025 Royal Rumble was also historic for being the first Premium Live Event held in Indianapolis as part of a new partnership between WWE and Indiana Sports Corp. This agreement will bring WWE's three largest stadium events—WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble—to the city in the coming years.

The men’s WWE Royal Rumble 2025 boasted one of the most stacked and unpredictable fields in recent memory. WWE teased several paths for many top stars to main event WrestleMania. As a result, a field filled with current and future Hall of Famers—in addition to many former Rumble winners—went to war in the most anticipated Royal Rumble in years.
