Royal Rumble match results 2025: Order of entry and elimination for men's and women's

The 2025 WWE Royal Rumble is headed to vaunted Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN on Saturday for what should be quite a fun show in the world of professional wrestling. There is a lot of excitement for the Ladder Match set between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens for the Undisputed WWE Championship and even the WWE Tag Team Championship match between DIY and Motor City Machine Guns with a two-out-of-three-falls stipulation.

But let's be real. Every WWE fan tuned in for this show to watch the Royal Rumble matches themselves.

The Men's and Women's Royal Rumble matches with 30 competitors entering the ring and the winner getting the opportunity to main event WrestleMania in just a couple of months is what this is all about. To put it as simply as possible, there's a reason that the show itself is named after the match and why this PLE (or previously pay-per-view) has been going strong for nearly 40 years at this point.

It's been reported that the Women's Royal Rumble match will kick off the show on Saturday night with the Men's Royal Rumble match likely to be the main event. One thing, however, that fans are always looking for with so many competitors and so much action throughout these matches is for how things actually transpired in the hour-plus-long showdowns.

That's where we come in as we'll be tracking not only the order of entry but the order of elimination for everyone in the Women's and Men's Royal Rumble matches on Saturday for the 2025 live event.

Women's Royal Rumble Match results: Order of entry and elimination

Let's dive into the Women's Royal Rumble match to open the show in Indy as we started off the match with an opportunity to face Tiffany Stratton (for now) in the main event of WrestleMania 41. We got the match started off with Iyo Sky earning the unfortunate No. 1 spot and then Liv Morgan joining her in the ring.

There were nearly a dozen and a half competitors still in the ring when Nia Jax entered at No. 29 but she went on a ridiculous run of eliminations to clear out the field. However, Charlotte Flair, the eventual winner, was able to catch her in a compromised position on the ropes and dump here.

The big news out of the Women's Royal Rumble, though, was clearly the return of Alexa Bliss, which no one saw coming and got the Indianapolis crowd hyped. The 30th entrant, Nikki Bella, also had plenty of fans oohing and aahing throughout the entrance and trip down to the ring, though some admittedly were hoping for something even bigger (AJ Lee, perhaps?).

Who won the Women's Royal Rumble match?

Charlotte Flair emerged as the winner of the 2025 Women's Royal Rumble match on Saturday night after entering the ring at No. 27. This is the second career Royal Rumble match win for Flair, who will now look to add to her title reigns once again as she goes on to main event WrestleMania 41.

Men's Royal Rumble Match results: Order of entry and elimination

It's now time to get into the Men's Royal Rumble match that began with the legendary WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio getting the No. 1 entry spot into the match. He was soon joined by newcomer Penta in the ring to kick off the match as we keep track of entrants and the order they're eliminated in.

There were a few big surprises throughout, perhaps the most exciting of which was TNA Champion Joe Hendry making his WWE and Royal Rumble debut on Saturday night. Though we do have to shout out IShowSpeed, who made a surprise appearance in the match after Akira Tozawa was attacked by Carmelo Hayes on the entrance ramp.

However, it was more powerhouse performances from the likes of Bron Breakker and Roman Reigns that stole the show. Both were absolutely dominant and, just as importantly, Reigns was eliminated basically alongside Seth Rollins and CM Punk, which resulted in a massive brawl ringside and seemingly set up what could be an iconic triple threat match at WrestleMania 41.

Who won the Men's Royal Rumble match?

Jey Uso won the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble match with a great finish against the legendary John Cena. He'll now go on to the main event of WrestleMania for what should be a phenomenal match, whichever champion he chooses to face.
