Royal Rumble 2025 approaches rapidly. Only a few days before it takes place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, there has been speculation not only about who will win the rumble fight and will be the main event of WrestleMania 41, but also on who will occupy the position No.1 in combat.
Taking this into account, we take a look at five superstars that could be the first to enter the Royal Rumble this Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
#5. Sami Zayn could have a change to Heel in the Rumble
It is going through a difficult time, with consecutive losses against Drew McIntyre and the incidents with Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes, in which he accidentally kicked both superstars in the face.
#4. The Knight wants to turn the situation
He has recently been stagnant at the MID-Card, and it is not clear if he will have another chance for the United States Championship and the reigning champion Shinsuke Nakamura.
Despite being one of the main faces in WWE and a fans favorite, he seems to have lost his impulse. Entering the rumble first and getting as far as possible would help you take a turn to the situation and build some impulse.
#3. Jacob Fatu has the impulse on his side after Saturday Night's Main Event
He dominated Braun Strowman on Saturday Night's Main Event and had the impulse on his side when he entered the Royal Rumble. WWE is expected to drive him forward, and an outstanding performance in Rumble's fight could be exactly what he needs to emerge as a main star in SmackDown.
Being dominant in the ring would also ensure a long career in Rumble's fight, so it would make sense that Wwe's Creative had it entering the fight in No.1.
#2. Jey Use had the position No.1 at the Royal Rumble in 2024
It was No.1 last year, and it could be No.1 again this year. Jey use lost the opportunity to become world champion last weekend, and now wants to turn the situation.
In the Royal Rumble of 2024, it was not eliminated late in combat, and this time, it could be the same for Master Yeet. Since he is a fans favorite and one of WWE's most popular fighters, it would not be a surprise if he reached the last three or four superstars in the rumble.
#1. John Cena will compete in the rumble for the last time
It will be his last appearance in the Royal Rumble, and will receive an ovation of the foot of the fans, regardless of whether or not. Entering No.1 would allow John Cena to make history and become one of the few superstars won by the Royal Rumble from position No.1.
On the other hand, being in No.1 could limit its possibilities to last until the end and could mean that WWE Creative does not plan to win the Rumble for the third and last time in his legendary career.
