The WWE 2025 Royal Royal is just around the corner and fans are excited, since the road to Wrestlemania will begin in a few days. The last Royal Rumbles have been very unpredictable. Cody Rhodes was victorious in the last two events and faced Roman Reigns in the main event of Wrestlemania on both occasions.
Among many winners of Royal Rumble in recent years, Cope is the only AEW star who has won the fight. Many WWE ex -stars have become All Elite in the last five years. Like Cope, there are many stars in the headquarters in Jacksonville that could win the Royal Rumble if they were signed with the sports entertainment giant.
Let's look at five AEW stars that Royal Rumble could win if they were still in WWE:
#5. Samoa Joe could have brought his power to the Royal Rumble
The Samoa submission machine has always been one of the best fighters in the world. After being presented as a dominant force in the NXT brand, it failed to take that impulse to the main roster. Then he left the global sports entertainment giant and is currently presented as a power in AEW.
If Samoa Joe had stayed in the Global Sports Entertainment Giant, he could have been driven to stardom under the creative direction of Triple H. It would also be a great option as winner of the Royal Rumble, since he could have attracted many looks at the main event of Wrestlemania.
#4. Toni Storm could win the Royal Rumble female
The timeless star became one of AEW's most popular stars since her character change in 2023. He is already a Women's World Champion of AEW and will seek to capture the title for the fourth time when in front of Maria May in Grand Slam Australia. In WWE, she was presented as a rookie.
If Toni Storm debuted in the headquarters in Stamford as Timeless, it would become great success and even win the Royal Rumble. His participation in the world title scene would be a great soda in the female division.
#3. Swerve Strickland could have illuminated Wrestlemania's stage
The former AEW world champion had a great 2024. He led the 'Age of the Dynasty' and restored the prestige of the AEW World Title in just a few months. Swerve Strickland rose to the main level in AEW after WWE did not know how to capitalize on it.
If Strickland returned to the company, the headquarters based in Stamford could correct his mistake making him the winner of the Royal Rumble. Similar to his fight at All in 2024 against Bryan Danielson, he could offer a star show against any consecrated or veteran star in the main event of Wrestlemania.
#2. Mercedes Mone could have been at the top of the female division again
The current TBS champion was already a star established in the global sports entertainment giant. During his time in the promotion, it was multi -champion, but stars like Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Bella had main places. Currently, the female roster is used much better under the creative leadership of Triple H.
The return of Mercedes Mone as CEO and not as The Boss in the headquarters in Stamford should instantly cement its legacy as a stellar figure. If I were present at WWE at this time, fans would want Royal Rumble to win.
The new and improved Mercedes would certainly become one of the greatest attractions of payment per event.
#1. Jon Moxley could have headed Wrestlemania from WWE against her shield brothers
The current AEW world champion has been the company's carrier for five years. He redefined the art of professional wrestling and attracted many looks to the new product. Although he was also a massive star in WWE, his character never did justice to his skills.
Death Rider would be a strong candidate to win the Royal Rumble if he were present in WWE today. He could also recover WWE's title at the main event of Wrestlemania and meet the prophecy by heading the greatest scenario of all.
He could also have faced one of his brothers from The Shield, Seth Rollins or Roman Reigns, in a great fight.
It will be interesting to see if these five stars are ever going to the headquarters in Stamford and win the Royal Rumble in the future.
