CM Punk Declares for 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble – CM Punk made his intentions clear following his monumental victory over Seth Rollins during the WWE RAW on Netflix premiere on January 6, 2025. In a fiery post-match promo, Punk declared that he will be competing in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match, setting his sights on the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and the World Heavyweight Champion Gunther.
Punk, in a post-show interview with Jackie Redmond on WWE and Netflix’s digital channels, explained his determination:
“46 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.”
With the Royal Rumble set for Saturday, February 1 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Punk’s declaration is expected to add fuel to the already intense competition. Alongside Punk, John Cena also declared his entry into the Men’s Rumble match on Monday’s show, marking another chapter in his retirement tour.
In a touching moment, Punk also dedicated his victory to Chris Bey, the TNA wrestler who suffered a serious injury at an event in October 2024, showing solidarity for his fellow performer.
The Royal Rumble promises to be a star-studded affair with high stakes, as Punk and Cena lead the charge for an unforgettable night in Indianapolis.
