Published on

WWE kicks off the road to WrestleMania 41 with a historic crowd and a new global streaming deal


Summary

– Stephanie McMahon opened the 2025 Royal Rumble with a message to fans at Lucas Oil Stadium

– Over 65,000 fans attended, making it the largest Royal Rumble in history

– The event marked WWE’s first Royal Rumble under its global Netflix streaming deal

The 2025 Royal Rumble started with a surprise appearance from Stephanie McMahon, who welcomed the crowd in Indianapolis. The event drew a record-breaking attendance of over 65,000 fans, marking a major milestone in WWE history.

McMahon, who has largely remained away from WWE since stepping down from her executive role, received a loud ovation from the audience. She thanked fans for their support and acknowledged the event’s significance, now airing on Peacock in the U.S. and Netflix worldwide.

With WWE officially entering its Netflix era, this Royal Rumble was a historic moment for the company. The Road to WrestleMania 41 is underway, and the new streaming deal is expected to drive even more global interest.

While McMahon’s future involvement with WWE remains unclear, her presence at the Royal Rumble showed she is always welcome to return for special appearances. With Triple H in charge, it wouldn’t be surprising if she plays a role in other major WWE moments moving forward.
