The 2025 Royal Rumble is shaping up to be one of the most star-studded in WWE history, and Monday’s WWE Raw added even more firepower to the already stacked lineup. From international sensations to dominant champions, the Rumble fields on both the men’s and women’s sides just got significantly more intriguing.

Penta, the Mexican wrestling phenom, officially declared his entry into the Rumble during a vignette that aired on Raw. After earning buzz for his thrilling matches against Chad Gable and Pete Dunne, Penta made it clear he’s here for one reason: to test himself against the best. If that wasn’t enough to get fans hyped, Penta later crossed paths with Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker, staring longingly at Breakker’s gold—because nothing says “dream match” like a tense staredown with a title on the line.

Speaking of Breakker, the champ confirmed that he too will be in the Rumble, adding another layer of intrigue. Not to be outdone, Carmelo Hayes announced his Rumble entry after Raw went off the air, showing that even the quiet moments post-show can shake up the landscape. Meanwhile, Chad Gable is looking to settle his “Lucha Libre problem” with Dominik Mysterio after the Rumble. If Penta can survive the chaos, he’s bound to have Gable waiting for him.

Over in the women’s division, Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria threw her name into the Rumble mix, only to find herself face-to-face with Ivy Nile. Not only is Nile gunning for Valkyria’s title, but she’s also entering the Rumble, making her intentions crystal clear: she wants to be the last woman standing and a champion by the time WrestleMania rolls around.

These new additions join an already stacked roster, with stars like Logan Paul, Raquel Rodriguez, and IYO Sky already confirmed. With just days to go, the anticipation for the Rumble is at a fever pitch. Who will come out on top and punch their ticket to WrestleMania?

I like ice cream, taking a back seat, wondering who I am, and pretending kayfabe is real. May or may not be the Real Dark Brandon. For the LOLZ. MALARKEY!
