70,437 fans were in attendance in the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana to see a wild Royal Rumble event. Two title contenders were crowned in the men's and women's Royal Rumble matches, Jey Uso and Charlotte Flair. This night also saw the end of two major rivalries as Cody Rhodes took down Kevin Owens in a ladder match while DIY survived 2-Out-of-3 Falls against The Motor City Machine Guns.
This was a special night that allowed many stars to stand out, but not everyone could be a winner on this night. These are the real winner and losers from Royal Rumble 2025. When Chelsea Green first returned to WWE in 2023 in the women's Royal Rumble, she lasted just five seconds.
In 2024, she lasted 17 minutes again without an elimination. In 2025, she may have still been an earlier elimination, but Green stood out, pulling out two eliminations while lasting longer than her previous two years combined. The early stretch of this contest relied on the Women's United States champion's comedic timing, setting a strong foundation.
It may take several more years for Green to get to the final stretch of the Rumble, but her steady improvement and integral role in WWE is clearer than it has ever been. WWE did very little to hype anyone but Charlotte Flair as an option to win the women's Royal Rumble match. This left fans to speculate on possible dark horse candidates.
Bianca Belair stood out due to the potential of a fresh rivalry with Rhea Ripley. However, that speculation did not play .
