WWE Royal Rumble 2025 takes place tonight (Sat., Feb. 1) from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. It begins at 4 pm ET with the Countdown show leading right on into the main course at 6 pm ET on Peacock in the U.

The road to WrestleMania 41 begins in Indianapolis as the Royal Rumble emanates from the Lucas Oil stadium. The main attractions of the night will be the men's and women's Royal Rumble matches with a lot of big names and surprises expected to be part of the matches.

After nearly two decades as the face of WWE, Cena will hang it up at the end of 2025. That means he will compete at the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania for the final time. There is a chance that he will also compete at SummerSlam as well in August.

This is the most excited I’ve been for a Royal Rumble in a long time. Unlike most recent years in which there were, at best, a small handful of wrestlers with even remote chances of winning, the 2025 version is wide open.

Huge stars like Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and John Cena are set to be at Lucas Oil Stadium for the event, with Reigns and Cena both competing in the Men’s Royal Rumble match. Now, WWE Shop is celebrating Cena’s farewell stop in Indianapolis with a new collection of merch themed after the city and its football team, the Indianapolis Colts.

John Cena will compete in his final WWE Royal Rumble match on February 1. John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL), one of Cena's legendary rivals, expects the returning star to leave Indianapolis as a three-time Royal Rumble winner.

Indy's Royal Rumble is the first stop on John Cena's WWE retirement tour. My son will be there to see his hero and the superstar who he wanted to be.
