Charlotte Flair
14-time WWE World Champion Charlotte Flair is set to make her WWE return after a year-long hiatus at the Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday. Flair will compete in the 2025 Women’s Rumble match in her return.
According to WrestleVotes, WWE Creative is considering having Flair win a championship “sooner rather than later” following her return at the 2025 Royal Rumble.
“Sources confirmed to us that the presentation of Charlotte Flair has been decided upon and will feature her as the ‘Top Girl’, playing into the Flair family legacy. In more Charlotte Flair news, we are told creative is heavily considering having her win championship gold sooner rather than later upon her return to the ring. So we can expect Charlotte to be catapulted to the top of the women’s division starting this Saturday,” WrestleVotes said.
Becky Lynch & AJ Lee’s possible WWE return
Becky Lynch has been absent from the WWE ring since June 2024 when her contract with the promotion expired. Following her appearance in the Raw Netflix promo video fans started speculating about her return.
While Lynch has signed a new contract with the WWE, Sean Ross of Fightful reports that Becky is ready to return and is just waiting for the perfect storyline.
“It’s a creative situation with her. She’s under contract, that’s confirmed, but it’s all from a creative aspect right now. It’s what’s been waiting on,” Sean Ross Sapp said.
PWInsider has reported that Lynch will be at the Royal Rumble event this Saturday. However, it is unclear if she will be a surprise entrant in the women’s Royal Rumble match.
Since the return of CM Punk, fans have wished and hoped for AJ Lee to return to WWE. Ahead of the Royal Rumble PLE the speculations and rumors about her return are rife.
According to Fightful Select, people within the Stamford-based promotion have not heard anything about Lee returning at the Royal Rumble PLE. Although they acknowledged the possibility, they emphasized that any potential comeback plans would be kept tightly under wraps.
“She always looks like she’d fit right back in on TV, and I’m sure she’s aware that if she decided she wanted to be in the Royal Rumble tomorrow, that could happen.”
CM Punk also during an interaction with Jackie Redmond where she was asking WWE stars who they would want to see make a surprise appearance in the women’s Royal Rumble teased Lee’s return.
“There’s a big one that I’m not going to say because I’m gonna get in trouble.” Punk said.
This comment has led many fans to believe that Lee is indeed making her return at the 2025 Royal Rumble PLE. However, there is no clarity as of now that she will make an appearance at the Lucas Oil Stadium.
New Netflix teaser for Royal Rumble
In a recent teaser released by Netflix for the 2025 Royal Rumble PLE featured multiple big stars including John Cena and Roman Reigns. However, when fans looked closely they realized that the Rock was also featured in the video.
The Rock was featured in the number one countdown graphic, and his appearance in the video has fueled speculations about his appearance in the Rumble match.

Matt Cardona has been the recent addition to the plethora of stars that are rumored for an appearance in the Rumble match. According to Fightful, rumors have surfaced from outside WWE sources suggesting that Matt Cardona may make an appearance at the Royal Rumble.
Former TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace has also been one of the names that is rumored for an appearance. While Grace shuts down the rumors stating that she is hosting her mom’s 50th Birthday party, a new report from PWInsider claims otherwise. According to PWInsider, Jordynne Grace will “100%” be in the city for the Royal Rumble PLE.
According to reports from WrestleVotes on Backstage Pass, Omos is expected to be in attendance at the Royal Rumble event in Indianapolis, Indiana, but it remains unclear whether he will participate in the 30-man Rumble match.
