How crazy would it be if Penta won the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble? It’s a possibility, as the newly signed luchador is one of 15 men confirmed for the Men’s Royal Rumble.

Given how memorable that moment was, it’s easy to overlook that the ‘08 Rumble was good but not in the true upper echelon of Royal Rumbles. Still, there was plenty of other action to enjoy here, not least the brilliant moment of seeing long-time rivals Roddy Piper and Jimmy Snuka lock horns at MSG once more - all as a giddy CM Punk watched with childlike glee.

Let's take a look at the list of male superstars, who have announced their arrival in this year's WWE Royal Rumble.

John Cena has announced his desire to win the Royal Rumble match for the third time in his glorious career. If he were to triumph in the 2025 edition, the 16-time world champion would equal the record of a legend like Stone Cold Steve Austin and write a new page in wrestling history.
