WWE Premium Live Event WWE Royal Rumble in Indianapolis, Indiana, The Shows Rundown and Previews List:

  • Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens have been engaged in a blood Feud since October of 2024. After feeling like Rhodes betrayed him at WWE Bad Blood for teaming with former rival Roman Reigns , Owens has since been rebellious, dangerous, and quite frankly losing his mind. He even sidelined put Randy Orton with a major injury. On December 14th, 2024 edition of Saturday’s Night Main Event , after losing to Rhodes, Owens put Rhodes in a Package Pile-Driver—a devastating move that is banned in the WWE—that landed Rhodes on his head and neck region. Owens feels like he won the match after Rhodes cheated to win, so he has been carrying the iconic Winged Eagle Belt that was used in the 80s and 90s ever since. Now at the Royal Rumble, they’ll hang both the current Undisputed WWE Championship and the Winged Eagles WWE Championship belts above in a Ladder Match. This is the match will potentially be the ending of their rivalry, which begs the question; Who will come out of the Royal Rumble as WWE Champion?
