"Main Event" Jey Uso and Charlotte Flair won the 2025 men's and women's Royal Rumble matches, respectively. Jey's win was a surprise, while Flair was met with mixed reviews because she was already an established star. In one of the episodes of WWE: Unreal, EVP of creative writing Ed Koskey made a wild pitch of Chelsea Green automatically winning the Women's Royal Rumble Match.

As part of the plan, Green would have been the No. 30 entrant, following a double elimination that would have left her as the winner by default. According to Jordan Mendoza of USA Today, Green's "jaw was on the floor" when she watched the episode of WWE: Unreal. She couldn't believe that there was a pitch for her to win the Women's Royal Rumble Match.
