The 2025 Royal Rumble pay-per-view event featured numerous surprises and returns and officially kicked off the Road To WrestleMania 41.

Charlotte Flair triumphed in the Women’s Royal Rumble match, securing a title shot at WrestleMania 41. Jey Uso won the Men’s Royal Rumble match and punched his ticket to The Showcase Of Immortals.

As we previously reported here on eWn, Royal Rumble 2025 set a new record for the highest gate revenue from any single-night event in WWE history.

On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that WWE Royal Rumble 2025 became the most-viewed Royal Rumble and PLE in the company’s history.

Meltzer said, “This was the most-watched Royal Rumble around the world in history and actually the most-watched WWE pay-per-view event ever in history. The Rumble because there were a lot more viewers on Netflix than there were via whether it was pay-per-view in the old days or television after the pay-per-view or local streaming services that bought the network or the network or whatever, so more people watched this royal rumble than watched any night of WrestleMania ever, let alone every Royal Rumble ever. So that record will be broken at WrestleMania, but it was, in fact, the all-time record.”
