The WWE Royal Rumble will kick off WWE’s 2025 Premium Live Event lineup and is set to take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.

As always, the Royal Rumble is a key milestone, starting the road to WWE's biggest show of the year, WrestleMania.
This year's Royal Rumble is highly anticipated, with the event’s surprise entrants and high-stakes matches making it one of the most exciting shows on the calendar. As the event marks the official start of WrestleMania season, fans have already begun speculating about who might win the Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble matches. However, this tradition has also led to the circulation of fake lists detailing the supposed entrants for both matches.
Fake Lists and Speculation: What We Know
As is typical each year, fake entrant lists have begun making the rounds online. These lists feature names like John Cena and The Rock for the Men’s Royal Rumble, with Cena even listed as the winner.

WWE Denies Fake Lists
News outlets such as Ringside News have confirmed that these circulating lists are "100 percent fake." According to sources within WWE, the official entrant list and match orders have not yet been finalized by the WWE production team, who state, "Production and entrant orders are never done a month before the event." Therefore, any information circulating ahead of time is purely speculative and inaccurate.
