**LAS VEGAS, NV –** WWE has announced a major title match for its Royal Rumble 2025 event. On the December 27th edition of SmackDown, General Manager Nick Aldis revealed that Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will defend his title against Kevin Owens in a high-stakes Ladder Match. This blockbuster bout will be a key attraction for the February 1st event, which will also feature the traditional men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches.
Speculation is already rife about potential additions to the Royal Rumble 2025 card. One highly anticipated return could be Becky Lynch’s, rumored to appear on the January 6th premiere of WWE Raw on Netflix. Lynch’s presence at a recent WWE media event and her appearance in a Raw Netflix commercial strongly suggest her WWE comeback is imminent. Her return could intersect with the ongoing feud between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan, potentially setting up a future championship clash between Lynch and Ripley. Before that, however, a rematch between Lynch and Morgan could be on the cards, revisiting their previous rivalry. Several other potential matches are also being considered for inclusion in the Royal Rumble 2025 lineup.
