The 2025 WWE Royal Rumble is just around the corner, set to take place on February 1st at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. As fans eagerly anticipate the massive event, a WWE veteran has made a bold prediction about the upcoming Men’s Royal Rumble match. Jonathan Coachman, a wrestling veteran, recently appeared on the Behind The Turnbuckle podcast, where he shared his thoughts on the highly anticipated match.
According to Coachman, The Final Boss, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, will make a comeback and team up with John Cena, another WWE legend, to compete in the Men’s Royal Rumble match. In his mind, the two superstars will be the last two standing, with the winner earning a guaranteed title shot at WrestleMania. Coachman believes this scenario would be a fitting conclusion to the event, echoing the iconic face-off between The Rock and Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 18.
Coachman’s theory is not without merit, considering the two Legends have a storied history of competing against each other, with both holding victories over the other at WrestleMania. Their previous face-off at WrestleMania, during Cody Rhodes’ match against Roman Reigns, ended with The Rock delivering a Rock Bottom to the 16-time World Champion. This feud has been simmering beneath the surface, and a showdown at the Royal Rumble would be a thrilling addition to the event.
It’s worth noting that Coachman’s prediction is not solely his own vision, as he’s not the only one who believes The Rock will make an appearance at the Royal Rumble. According to veteran journalist Dave Meltzer, who recently appeared on the Keepin’ It 100 podcast, The Rock has been discussed as a potential winner of the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble. Meltzer revealed that people within the company have previously broached the idea of The Rock returning to win the Rumble and earn a title shot at WrestleMania. Ultimately, the decision lies with The Rock himself, and if he wants to win the Rumble, there’s no doubt he’ll do just that.
As the Royal Rumble draws near, fans are eagerly anticipating the chaos that will ensue as 29 superstars compete for the vacant title. With legends like John Cena and The Rock potentially joining the fray, the possibilities are endless. It remains to be seen whether Coachman’s prediction will come to fruition, but one thing is certain – the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble is shaping up to be an event for the ages.
