Bully Ray on Top Contenders Motives for Royal Rumble Win – Bully Ray recently shared his thoughts on why three WWE stars have compelling reasons to win the upcoming Royal Rumble, focusing on CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Drew McIntyre. On the January 13 episode of WWE RAW, Punk expressed his lifelong ambition to headline WrestleMania, making the Royal Rumble victory crucial for him. Rollins, fresh off defeating Punk a week earlier, made it clear he intends to stop Punk’s dreams from coming true. Meanwhile, McIntyre added his own twist by playing mind games with both of them.
Discussing this on “Busted Open,” Bully Ray highlighted the personal stakes behind each competitor’s goal. “For Punk, this has been a lifelong thing since the day he left WWE. We know how important it is for CM Punk to be in the main event of WrestleMania,” Ray began. “We now know how important it is for Seth Rollins to ruin that dream, for CM Punk, just because he’s bitter and a sore loser. And then we heard from Drew, we know how important it is for Drew. So, yeah, all 30 men want to win the Rumble because they all want to a shot, and there’s real deal, individual issues that we heard about last night.”
While Punk has never won the men’s Royal Rumble match, both Rollins and McIntyre have tasted victory. Rollins took the win in 2019, and McIntyre followed in 2020. Punk, for his part, made it to the final two in the 2024 edition but was ultimately eliminated by Cody Rhodes, who went on to main event WrestleMania and complete his own redemption story.
