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? Find out how to watch the Royal Rumble below.

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.

2024 US Open Men’s Final: How to watch a live stream
Aerial view of Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens.

A new US Open champion will be crowned in the men's final on Sunday afternoon. After years of watching Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic dominate, new competitors -- including Jannik Sinner, Jack Draper, Frances Tiafoe, and Taylor Fritz -- are rising stars in the sport.

It all comes down to one final match. The 2024 US Open Men's Final will feature world No. 1 Jannik Sinner versus No. 12 Taylor Fritz. If Sinner wins, it will mark his second Grand Slam of 2024 and cement him firmly as the best in the world. For Fritz, the entire country will be behind him at Arthur Ashe as he looks to become the first American man to win a Grand Slam since Andy Roddick's US Open win in 2003.

After the monumental All In at Wembley Stadium, AEW is back in the United States for All Out, the company's September pay-per-view event. In years past, All Out ran over Labor Day weekend.

How to watch WWE Bash in Berlin 2024: start time, live stream, matches
Logo of the WWE Bash in Berlin poster.

Following SummerSlam, the WWE takes its show to Europe for the next Premium Live Event (PLE), WWE Bash in Berlin. It will also be the first livestreaming WWE event in Germany. Since May, the WWE has run five of its last six PLEs outside the U.S., a strong sign of the company's expansion to new markets under TKO.

One match to focus on is the World Heavyweight Championship between Gunther and Randy Orton. Gunther defeated Damian Priest for the title at SummerSlam. Born in Austria, Gunther should have the home crowd advantage in Germany. However, Orton remains one of the most popular wrestlers in the company, and "The Viper" will do everything in his power to land an RKO and become a 15-time world champion.
