The anticipation for WWE Royal Rumble 2025 is reaching fever pitch as superstars from the Women’s division prepare to battle it out for a WrestleMania 41 title shot. While we already know that the Men’s Royal Rumble is already stacked, WWE hasn’t treated the buildup for the Women’s Royal Rumble as much. The first major Premium Live Event of 2025 is ready to be hosted in Indianapolis.
The Royal Rumble has been a major platform for the women of WWE since its introduction in 2018, and this year’s edition promises to be no different. With star power, comebacks, and redemption arcs all in play, let’s take a look at the top five favourites to win the WWE Women’s Royal Rumble 2025 match.
Charlotte Flair
Queen’s Return: Charlotte Flair, a dominant force in WWE, has been absent from the ring since December 2023 due to an injury suffered in a match against Asuka. However, reports indicate that she is on the brink of an in-ring return, and what better way to make a comeback than by winning the Royal Rumble? Flair has been one of the most decorated champions in WWE history, and winning the Rumble could set her up for a blockbuster title match against Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 41. The Queen reclaiming her throne is a story WWE fans would love to see unfold.
Iyo Sky
Iyo Sky entered last year’s Royal Rumble event as the WWE Women’s Champion, but things have taken a different turn in 2025. Without a title around her waist, Iyo is determined to prove that she is still a top-tier superstar in the division. Rumors suggest that she is being groomed for a major showdown with Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 41, and winning the Royal Rumble would be the perfect way to solidify that bout. With her high-flying abilities and fearless attitude, Iyo Sky is a serious threat in this year’s Rumble match. WWE has kept Sky away from limelight and this could be a perfect opportunity for them to shock the world.
Bianca Belair
Bianca Belair has been away from the singles title picture for quite some time, but The ‘EST’ of WWE has the perfect opportunity to change that by winning her second Royal Rumble match. Having already won the Rumble in 2021, Belair knows what it takes to go the distance in the 30-woman battle. If she manages to emerge victorious again, she could find herself headlining WrestleMania 41 in a dream match for the World Title.
Liv Morgan
Liv Morgan was arguably the best female superstar in WWE throughout 2024, dominating the Women’s division for most of the year. However, after losing her Women’s World Championship to Rhea Ripley at WWE RAW’s debut episode on Netflix, Morgan is on a mission to reclaim what she believes is rightfully hers. Having been the runner-up in the Royal Rumble for the past two years, she is determined to finally get her moment. A victory at Royal Rumble 2025 would set up a thrilling rematch against Ripley at WrestleMania 41.
Becky Lynch
It’s been months since Becky Lynch was last seen in a WWE ring, but The Man is never far from the biggest moments. After being absent since May 2024, Lynch is rumored to make her return at the Royal Rumble, and she is one of the betting favourites to win it all. Having already won a Royal Rumble match in 2019, Lynch could make history by becoming the first woman to win the match twice.
