CM Punk declares for WWE Royal Rumble
CM Punk will take part in the 2025 men’s Royal Rumble match.
Punk declared for the 2025 Royal Rumble in a post-match promo following his victory over Seth Rollins on Monday’s WWE Raw premiere on Netflix.
On the post-show streaming on WWE and Netflix digital channels, Punk was interviewed by Jackie Redmond and sated his intention to enter and win the Royal Rumble, calling out Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, and World Heavyweight Champion Gunther by name:
“46 [Punk’s age] is just a number. 1 through 30, just numbers. Royal Rumble, you’re next on the list. Gunther, I’m coming for you. Cody, I’m coming for you. I’m Mr. October. I’m Game 7. I am clutch. I am the best in the world.”
John Cena also declared for the men’s Rumble match on Monday’s Raw on the first stop on his retirement tour.
This year’s Royal Rumble PLE will be held Saturday, February 1 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Punk also dedicated his victory on Raw to TNA wrestler Chris Bey who suffered a serious injury at an event last October.
