The WWE Royal Rumble is set to take place on February 1, 2025 from Lucal Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The 38th Royal Rumble marks the first stop on the road to WrestleMania 41.

Female WWE stars have only had a Royal Rumble since 2018. Asuka won the first edition but lost to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 34. Becky Lynch won the next year, followed by Flair in 2020.

Stomping to the ring, Becky Lynch would be confronted with the familiar face of Nia Jax, who the Irish Lass Kicker immediately took it to. Skip ahead 13 minutes, and it would be Nia and then Charlotte Flair who Becky would eliminate on her way to winning the Rumble and earning herself a main event spot at WrestleMania 35.

Due to the move of Monday Night Raw on Netflix, which took place on January 6, 2025, WWE was 'forced' to move the Royal Rumble. One of the most important events on the calendar will not take place in January,
