Royal Rumble 2025 features Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens in a Ladder Match. This rematch follows their encounter at Saturday Night’s Main Event in December, where Rhodes emerged victorious.
Current storyline patterns suggest Drew McIntyre’s involvement in the championship match. McIntyre’s ongoing pursuit of Roman Reigns, who competes in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match, creates an intriguing dynamic. Based on recent developments, McIntyre could interfere in the Ladder Match, targeting Owens rather than Rhodes.
The potential alliance carries historical significance, as McIntyre and Rhodes previously formed The Dashing Ones in 2010, capturing the WWE Tag Team Championship during their partnership. McIntyre’s own history with Roman Reigns includes a near-victory at Clash at the Castle 2022, where Bloodline interference prevented him from winning the championship.
