Below are a couple of top Royal Rumble 2025 news stories of the day, featuring Cody Rhodes and John Cena.
• Cody Rhodes defeated Kevin Owens in a brutal Ladder Match to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship at Royal Rumble 2025.
During the post-show, Jackie Redmond gave the following update on The American Nightmare:
“Cody Rhodes is dealing with multiple injuries. I can’t confirm the intensity or severity of those injuries, but what I will tell you is that they are bad enough that Cody will not be addressing the media in tonight’s press conference.
In fact, his in-ring status might even be up in the air as well. What I can confirm is that Cody Rhodes will still attend Friday Night SmackDown in Memphis.”

During the post show, Cena said he’s going to compete in the #1 Contender Elimination Chamber match on March 1, and he plans to main event WrestleMania 41.
Here’s what he said:
“I’m going to the Elimination Chamber to win, and I’m going to main event my final appearance at WrestleMania, and win a 17th Championship, because that’s what’s best for business.”
Cena also noted that he’s flying back to Hungary to film a movie and is going to give his 5 other opponents in the Elimination Chamber one month to slander his name and bolster their self confidence.
