WWE Royal Rumble 2025 features John Cena aiming for a record, while JD McDonagh faces injury setbacks.

WWE Royal Rumble 2025 is set to electrify fans on February 1 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. This highly anticipated event marks the 38th edition of the Royal Rumble, featuring the signature 30-men and 30-women rumble matches. Among the confirmed participants for the men`s rumble are heavyweights like LA Knight, John Cena, CM Punk, Jey Uso, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Rey Mysterio, Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, Logan Paul, Penta, Chad Gable, Bron Breakker, and Carmelo Hayes. Notably, several of these competitors are former Royal Rumble winners, including Cena, who has the opportunity to match Stone Cold Steve Austin`s record of three victories in this iconic match.

In unfortunate news, JD McDonagh suffered a serious injury during WWE Raw on January 28, 2025. His risky springboard moonsault flip resulted in a painful landing, leading to broken ribs and a punctured lung. This injury will sideline McDonagh for several months, forcing him to miss the upcoming Royal Rumble event.

On the international front, WWE is making waves with its first-ever Premium Live Event in Paris, France, titled "Clash in Paris," scheduled for August 31, 2025, at Paris La Défense Arena. Following this event, WWE Raw will be broadcast from the same venue on September 1, 2025. WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque expressed enthusiasm for this venture, highlighting the success of last year`s Backlash France in Lyon.

In a heartwarming moment, a WWE Hall of Famer captured attention in India by participating in the holy dip at the Mahakumbh 2025 at the sacred Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj, with the video of this legendary wrestler going viral on social media.
