The road to WrestleMania begins at the 2025 Royal Rumble. The Rumble is one of the WWE’s biggest events because it kicks off the year with arguably the company’s most famous match. The Royal Rumble match is a 30-person, over-the-top battle royal that starts with two people inside the ring. Every 90 seconds to two minutes, another superstar enters the ring. This process will continue through the 30th participant. There are no pinfalls or submissions. Eliminations occur when superstars are thrown over the top rope and their two feet hit the floor.
There are two Royal Rumble matches: one for the men and one for the women. The winner of the Royal Rumble match wins a world championship match at WrestleMania. The Royal Rumble is the perfect mix of drama and excitement, making it a great event for casual and diehard wrestling fans. Who will earn a championship opportunity?

Stream WWE Royal Rumble 2025 live on Peacock
The Royal Rumble streams exclusively in the United States on Peacock. Although the WWE recently signed a deal to bring Raw to Netflix, the WWE’s Premium Live Events (PLEs) will stay on Peacock through the rest of the year and into 2026. However, that only applies to the U.S., as Netflix will broadcast PLEs in several international markets.
Peacock offers subscribers two paid plans: Premium and Premium Plus. Premium costs $8 per month, and Premium Plus costs $14 per month. Both plans will stream WWE PLEs, including the Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, and WrestleMania.
