It is almost time for one of the marquee WWE shows of the year, WWE Royal Rumble 2025 to arrive, and ironically it is also the first Premium Live Event of the year. Like every year, it is the 30-men Royal Rumble match which has the fans talking. From John Cena, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Drew McIntyre to many more, the battle royal match will feature some big names, and it is one of those Rumbles where the storyline is not gravitating around one individual. Therefore, it is almost impossible to predict who will be the last man standing in the squared circle.

WWE Royal Rumble is Built to Surprise Fans
Aside from speculating about the potential winner, the one aspect of the match that keeps the WWE universe on its edge is who will be coming out at the tone of the buzzer. There are always some surprise entrants who are expected and this time as well, there are some names who the enthusiasts can bet on.
There is a possibility that Hulk Hogan will show up and considering the negative reception he got from the crowd on WWE Raw's Netflix debut, it makes sense for the legend to make an entry at the Royal Rumble. Moreover, CM Punk calling out his name during a promo makes it even more interesting. Then there is The Rock, who can also be a Royal Rumble entrant as has had an on-and-off feud going on with the current WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes.

Will Brock Lesnar Make a Return at WWE Royal Rumble 2025?
Leaving others aside, if there is one superstar who the fans are relentlessly hoping to witness at the event is none other than the former world champion Brock Lesnar.
Brock Lesnar's WWE return has been a topic of discussion for a while now and the Royal Rumble 2025 comes as a perfect occasion for the beast to mark his comeback. Some rumours suggest that Lesnar might indeed return at the showpiece event. However, there is nothing concrete about the speculations and one would have to wait and watch as if the plans are in place for his return, then WWE has so far done a good job in keeping them discreet.
Brock Lesnar's last WWE appearance came at the WWE SummerSlam 2023, where he famously raised the arm of Cody Rhodes after losing to him. Since then, he has been absent from the tapping, but the speculations of his return never died down.
