Expected Runtime for WWE Royal Rumble 2025 Revealed

WWE’s 2025 Royal Rumble is set to electrify Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis this Saturday, and fans now have a clearer idea of how long the event will run.

According to WWE’s official YouTube schedule, the Royal Rumble post-show livestream is set to begin at 10 PM ET (3 AM UK time). Since the main card is scheduled to start at 6 PM ET, this suggests the event will run for approximately four hours—assuming there’s little to no downtime between the main show’s conclusion and the post-show kickoff.

A four-hour runtime aligns with past Royal Rumble events, especially given the jam-packed card. The two 30-person Royal Rumble matches alone typically consume nearly an hour each, making up a substantial portion of the show.

Beyond the marquee Rumble matches, the event features several high-stakes championship bouts, including:

  • Undisputed WWE Championship – Ladder Match: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Kevin Owens
  • WWE Tag Team Championship – 2-out-of-3 Falls Match: DIY (c) vs. Motor City Machine Guns

These matchups add to an already lengthy program, reinforcing the expected four-hour duration.
