10-time world champion returning to WWE to win the Men's Royal Rumble will happen, says Vince Russo (Exclusive)

While the 2025 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event is still months away, the rumor mill is already abuzz with speculations about who could win the Men's and the Women's Royal Rumble Matches. Former WWE head writer Vince Russo has also given his prediction about the marquee match, noting that he sees The Rock winning the 30-man affair.

The Great One was last seen in action at WrestleMania XL, where he and Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a tag team match. The Final Boss also showed up at Bad Blood 2024, where he had an intense staredown with Roman, Cody, and Jimmy Uso. It is widely speculated that the Hollywood star will face The American Nightmare at WrestleMania 41. Many people believe that the build-up for the same could start at the 2025 Royal Rumble.

A fan also proposed the same during the recent edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW podcast, noting that he sees The Brahma Bull winning the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble Match. Vince Russo, who has been iterating the same thing for the last several weeks, agreed with the fan:

"Anthony knows. Anthony, find a sports bookie that will make that bet, bro." [From 27:30 onwards]
