WWE Royal Rumble 2025 results, highlights, analysis: Jey Uso, Charlotte Flair win matches

The journey to WrestleMania is officially underway, and two spots have been secured.

The 2025 Royal Rumble officially kicked off the start of WWE's biggest time of the year, as the iconic first premium live event took place Saturday in front of a record crowd at Lucas Oil Stadium. The night was headlined by the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches. Each had 30 entrants, and only one emerged. On the women's side, a former winner won for the second time, and in the stacked men's side, an underdog came through for a shocking victory.

The WWE Tag Team Championships were on the card in a two-out-of-three falls match, and that match ended with the return of another pairing. Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens took their heated rivalry into another Undisputed WWE Championship bout, and it ended in brutal fashion.

Here's a recap of all the action from the 2024 Royal Rumble:

30-Men's Royal Rumble match winner

There were plenty of big names in the match and a case could've been made for any of them. However, in the end it was Uso and John Cena as the final two stars left. They each traded blows, with Uso's super kicks and Cena's Five-Knuckle Shuffle. The two stars went over the ropes on the edge of the ring, and Cena looked like he would win his third Royal Rumble when he got the Attitude Adjustment set up. However, Uso jumped off and back in the ring and pushed Cena out. Cena was just as shocked as the entire WWE world, and he went back in to congratulate the winner.

Ladder match for Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Kevin Owens

Owens sent Rhodes off the top rope and into the ladder in the craziest spot of the match. Officials came ringside to check on both stars, who were clearly damaged, and Sami Zayn then came out. The two stars eventually got up, and Rhodes executed a Cross Rhodes. The champion suddenly felt rage and busted Owens' face open. The two met at the announcer's table, and Owens tried the piledriver again, but Rhodes turned it around sent Owens through the ladder, breaking it in the process. With Owens down, Rhodes climbed the ladder and claimed both championships to retain.

Two-out-of-three falls match for WWE Tag Team Championship: #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) (c) vs. Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin)

With one pinfall needed, all four competitors tried to get the upper hand, going off on each other. Ciampa got Sabin on his own with a drop knee maneuver, but the pin attempt was unsuccessful. The Motor City Machine Guns then thought they had the victory in their hands, only for Gargano to break the pin attempt at the last second. Gargano went for a kick on Shelley, but it went haywire when he accidentally kicked Ciampa. Gargano looked to be done when two people in hoodies appeared and distracted the referee. It turned out to be the Street Profits, and Angelo Dawkins used a crutch to hit Shelley. It was the turning point and the champions got the second pin to retain. Their reward? A beatdown from the Street Profits.

30-Women's Royal Rumble match Winner

There were several great spots in the match, but the final three came down to Bayley, Jade Cargill and Liv Morgan.

All three ended up on the edge of the ring, and Morgan and Bayley tried to get the powerhouse Cargill out of the match. It took several attempts, but Morgan was able to eliminate Cargill, but Bayley seized the moment by taking out Morgan before she could even realize it and winning her first Royal Rumble match while also breaking the record of longest time in the ring for a women's match.

How does the Royal Rumble match work?

The 30-person match starts off with two entrants, and every two minutes, another competitor enters the match.

The only way to be eliminated from the match is to be thrown over the top rope of the ring and both feet must hit the floor. If only one foot hits the floor or goes under the top rope, the competitor may re-enter the ring. The match goes until there is one person remaining in the ring that hasn’t been eliminated. The winner of the match then gets a guaranteed championship match at WrestleMania.

What is Royal Rumble?

WWE’s Royal Rumble features a unique format for a Premium Live Event. The main match is an epic 30-person battle, kicking off with two Superstars squaring off in the ring, with new contenders entering at 90 second intervals, until all 30 have arrived. Superstars who are tossed over the top rope, with both feet making contact with the arena floor, are disqualified from the match.

The last standing superstar, outlasting all others, will win a grand prize – the champion have the Guaranteed chance to headlines the WrestleMania.

Once the 30-man bout is done, they’ll run back the entire clock and get 30 female WWE Superstars in the right to do it all over again for the same prize.
