The men’s WWE Royal Rumble 2025 boasted one of the most stacked and unpredictable fields in recent memory. WWE teased several paths for many top stars to main event WrestleMania. As a result, a field filled with current and future Hall of Famers—in addition to many former Rumble winners—went to war in the most anticipated Royal Rumble in years.

After coming up short in the Men's Royal Rumble Match, John Cena set his sights on the Elimination Chamber with a promise to headline WrestleMania.

Following the 2025 Royal Rumble, in which Cena was the runner-up, he announced his participation in the Men's Elimination Chamber match. Presumably, WWE will follow the same format as last year and have the winner earn a championship match at WrestleMania 41.
