“BOOHOO!” Logan Paul Responds to Royal Rumble Fan Incident

Logan Paul isn’t too concerned about a controversial scene that unfolded at WWE 2025 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event. In a moment that has since gone viral, Paul grabbed a fan’s camera during his entrance and smashed it by throwing it to the floor.

This clip sparked much criticism of Paul with many believing the former U.S. Champion crossed a line. Instead of an apology, however, Paul simply wrote, “boohoo” and turned off his comments, shutting down any chance for discussion. The dismissive response has only fueled more debate about whether Paul’s effort to be a heel in wrestling has crossed a line.

After being eliminated by John Cena, Paul shared expletive-filled argument with Kai Cenat at ringside in which h told the streamer “This is all your fault!” Cenat fired back, telling Paul to “Shut the f* up! You suck!” leaving fans to speculate on whether more is to come from the pair.

WWE Royal Rumble Winners Hit With Dislikes & Social Media Reactions

Jey Uso and Charlotte Flair have punched their tickets to WrestleMania 41 by winning this year’s Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble matches. Though these were historic wins for both Superstars, not every WWE fan is on board with what transpired in Lucas Oil Stadium.

On YouTube, WWE shared a clip of Flair becoming the first-ever two-time Women’s Royal Rumble winner. While this was a huge moment for Flair, the video has been met with thousands upon thousands of dislikes, far more than those who liked the video.

This response comes after years of fans taking issue with Flair’s booking, believing she is handed opportunities that others would benefit more from. WrestleMania 41 will mark Flair’s eigthth championship match at WrestleMania, a feat that many in WWE today have yet to accomplish even once.

The response to Jey Uso’s shocking win has also been mixed among fans. While some have praised WWE for giving a genuine surprise, many believe the spot was wasted on Jey. On X (formerly Twitter) fans shared their issue with Jey’s victory and Triple H’s booking.

WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce has confirmed that both Jey Uso and Charlotte Flair will be on tonight’s show, likely to address their WrestleMania prospects. It remains to be seen what response the pair receive as many are far from pleased with this year’s Royal Rumble winners.

Jey Uso stunned the wrestling world by winning the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match, last eliminating John Cena to punch his WrestleMania 41 ticket. In his first interview appearance since his shocking victory, Jey told the Nightcap podcast what he was thinking at the moment of his victory.

“Oh s***. Oh s***. I’m sitting in the ring, and I’m telling you, when I pushed him off, I just watched him. Oh s***. Oh s***. I won the Royal Rumble.”

Cena wasn’t the only notable name Jey Uso eliminated to win the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match. Along the road to victory, the ‘Main Event’ star tossed out United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura and former Bloodline ally Sami Zayn.

What’s Next for Jey Uso?

With his victory, Jey has earned himself a WrestleMania main event, either against World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER or Undisputed WWE Champion (and former tag-team partner) Cody Rhodes. After the Royal Rumble, Jey said he was going to become World Heavyweight Champion, teasing a rematch with the Ring General.

Rey Mysterio Endorses Penta After Iconic Royal Rumble Moment

Wrestling legend Rey Mysterio is doubling down on his endorsement of Penta less than 24 hours after their surreal encounter in the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble.

During the match, the two luchadors shared a memorable handshake—an instant classic Royal Rumble moment. Following the event, the Hall of Fame icon posted a photo of the exchange on social media with the simple yet powerful caption: “Respect.”

Penta has long expressed deep admiration for Rey Mysterio, calling him a trailblazer who paved the way for luchadors in mainstream wrestling. He has also described sharing the ring with Mysterio as a career milestone, emphasizing his deep respect for the legend’s legacy.

Mysterio is also a fan of the man with Zero Fear. Following his impactful WWE debut at the Raw Neflix debut, Mysterio said:

Latest On Alexa Bliss’ Shocking WWE Royal Rumble Return

Alexa Bliss shocked the WWE Universe with her surprise return at the 2025 Royal Rumble, entering the match at the #21 spot. The match marked Bliss’ first appearance for WWE in over two years, and has left fans wondering what’s going on with The Goddess.

Bliss’ return came after several reports stating that she and WWE but new reports suggest her comeback was more than just unexpected—it was a carefully orchestrated swerve by WWE “far apart” in contract negotiations. It had even been reported that some in WWE believed that the two would not be able to reach a new deal, and as a result, Bliss’ tenure with WWE would end.

On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer claims that sources within WWE have confirmed Bliss has signed a new contract. With that said, he doesn’t believe it was as “last-minute” as sources indicated and argued that WWE was “pulling a swerve.” News of Bliss re-signing with WWE was kept a closely within the company, with Meltzer adding “It was people in the office they fooled too, and high-up.”

Whether WWE intentionally misled insiders or Bliss’ contract was genuinely finalized at the last moment, one thing is certain, she’s back, and her WWE future is secure. Now, fans can look forward to seeing much more of the pint-sized powerhouse who is ready to make an impact in the ring once again.

Trish Stratus Reveals WWE Debut Tribute At 2025 Royal Rumble

Trish Stratus made her in-ring return at the 2025 Royal Rumble PLE as part of the eighth-annual Women’s Royal Rumble match. Though Stratus didn’t secure a title match at WrestleMania 41, the WWE Hall of Famer proved she can still deliver ‘Stratusfaction’ in the squared circle.

Speaking with Stratus after the match, Byron Saxton alluded to Trish’s gray and pink attire possibly being a nod to her WWE debut attire from Sunday Night Heat in 2000. The WWE Hall of Famer confirmed this to be the case and was pleased to give fans a throwback.

“Good eye! I just felt that we’re kicking off the 25th anniversary of my career which is huge for me. I’m honored to still be coming back and doing that. Dipping my toe into the current landscape, I thought it was kind of a neat way to come back to this moment and do a little callback. I like a little callback and I know you guys do to.”

It remains to be seen if fans see Trish Stratus back in the ring in the near future, though Trish teased in the interview that her days in the ring may not be over yet. Whatever the case, Stratus continues to prove herself as a legend in the ring with a fun throwback during this year’s Women’s Royal Rumble match.

Triple H Reveals Immediate Reaction To WWE Hall of Fame Announcement

Triple H says his Hall of Fame induction is one of the most meaningful things of his career for him.

The Game was surprised by the trio of Nick Khan, Undertaker, and Shawn Michaels who announced him as the headliner for the 2025 Hall of Fame during a WWE Townhall meeting earlier this week.

The former World Champion was asked how he felt about the announcement during his appearance on the post-Royal Rumble media scrum. Triple H noted that he had previously been inducted as part of the DX, but going in alone is very different:

“I’ll be honest. We did it with DX. It was a lot of fun. It’s different when it’s you. While I’ve been a part of all of these, and I’ve seen some talent see it as the biggest honor. I’ve seen other talent be like, ‘Yeah, whatever.’ But for the most part, our talent all see it as sort of the ultimate pay of respect to you and your career.

I’ve had the honor of calling a lot of people to tell them, ‘We’re going to induct you in the Hall of Fame,’ or be there in person to say to them, ‘We’re going to induct you into the Hall of Fame’ and watch them cry and watch them get emotional. Because of our passion for what we do, it hit me up way harder than I thought it would.”

It Was oddly Comical And Surreal: Triple H

Triple H said that when Taker and HBK first came out, he thought that they were there to promote some WWE project. The WWE creative head claimed that it was a very emotional moment when the reality dawned on him:

“When we left there, it was a kind of an oddly comical and surreal moment. Then Taker was there, and Shawn was there. We went straight upstairs and went into a meeting and everything else. As it slowly started to dawn on me, I thought like, ‘Here we go.’

The same moment that I watched everybody else have, that emotions, all flooding over you. Of your career, the people you’ve worked with, what it meant to you, the fans that you’ve met around the world, the moments that you’ve been able to create and share. Fortunately for me, this is not, I’m not out of the business.

I have the maybe almost more enjoyable point in my life of being able to watch all these guys do it now. Help them get there and put it all together. But it was emotional, and I’m excited for it. I wish it wasn’t at WrestleMania, so I could focus on it more, but it’s one of the most meaningful things in my career.”

AJ Styles Reacts To Being Eliminated By Logan Paul After Royal Rumble Return

AJ Styles is looking forward to what’s next for him in WWE after his Royal Rumble return.

The Phenomenal One almost recreated the moment of his WWE debut from back in 2016 at tonight’s show. Returning from an injury he suffered in October last year, Styles showed he had no ring rust.

The former World Champion was interviewed by Cathy Kelley after the show. When asked about his return, Styles noted that he wore almost the same gear as his WWE debut as well and said that the fan reaction is what keeps him going:

“Did you notice that I wore the same gear, too? Pretty much the same colors, everything, pretty much. Wow, almost the same experience with the fans. The WWE Universe. You know, it really, it’s been a minute because I’ve been hurt and I’m back.

But man, that feeling that you get when you walk down that aisle and thousands of people are screaming. I don’t know if it gets any better than that. Does it get much better than that? I don’t think so. I don’t know, it’s why I’m still doing this.”

AJ Styles ended up becoming one of the two people being eliminated by YouTube star Logan Paul alongside CM Punk. When asked about the elimination, AJ said that he is not alone ‘in the shame’ but expressed interest in moving forward nonetheless:

“I’ll never live that down, getting eliminated by Logan Paul. But you know what? I got out there and I did what I needed to do. I stayed long there, was in there with the big dogs, and I held my ground.

Unfortunately, I didn’t see the one coming behind me, who apparently jumped on the table, scaffold his way back over to the steps and caught me off guard. But this is the WWE. You will lose. You will win. Accept it. Move on. Next Big Thing.”

Joe Hendry Reacts To His Royal Rumble Appearance

Joe Hendry is back on his quest to get a match against John Cena after his Royal Rumble appearance.

The TNA Champion continued the tradition of representing the Anthem-owned promotion at the first WWE PPV of the year by entering the men’s Royal Rumble at #15. Hendry got a moment to shine in the Rumble, having the spotlight all to himself for his big pose before being eliminated by Roman Reigns.

The viral star was interviewed by Cathy Kelley backstage after the show where he was asked about his participation in the event. Joe Hendry first claimed that it isn’t the last time he crosses paths with the OTC before once again calling out John Cena for a match:

“It’s unusual for Joe Hendry to be at a loss for words, but say his name, and he appeared here in Indianapolis at the biggest Royal Rumble of all time. Roman Reigns, congrats. You threw Joe Hendry over the top, and I’m willing to bet this isn’t the last time that you and I cross paths.

But before I go, I do want to share a little bit of knowledge that was bestowed on me by one John Cena. He gave me four words, and it was, ‘Fortune favors the bold.’ So here I am, boldly saying John Cena’s name,”

Joe Hendry was also asked when we’ll see him next on WWE TV and the TNA champion said that he’ll appear at ‘any show’ if enough people say his name.

John Cena was unsuccessful in his quest to win the Rumble tonight as well but he’s already announced that he’ll be entering the Elimination Chamber. You can check out more about it here.

Nikki Bella Names Potential Future Opponents After Royal Rumble 2025 Return

Nikki Bella already has future opponents in mind after her WWE return at the 2025 Royal Rumble event.

The WWE Hall of Famer was the final entrant of the Women’s Royal Rumble match, following other surprise entrants such as Jordynne Grace and Charlotte Flair. While she did not win the bout, Bella showed that she hadn’t lost a step since her last Rumble appearance in 2022.

The wrestling veteran was interviewed by Jackie Redmond backstage after the match. When asked how she felt about the crowd erupting for her return, Bella said that she had to be very careful not to get emotional:

“Oh my goodness. It’s crazy. The crowd just gets you right back into who you are out there. What I sometimes have to be careful is I always want to go into ultimate heel Nikki mode, it’s just like where I thrive. It gives me very Bambi vibes.

You almost try not to get emotional because it’s been so long. I love my WWE Universe family. I love my family back here. Then when you hear the crowd react like that, you’re just like, ‘Oh my Gosh.’ It gives you all the feels.”

Want To Kick Her Off Her High Horse: Nikki Bella

Nikki Bella also named the people she would like to get in the ring with after her return including a number of veterans as well as the Women’s US Champion Chelsea Green:

“There’s a lot of people. I feel like there are parts me of that have unfinished business, long business, with Charlotte Flair, but also with Liv Morgan. That would probably be my most unfinished business with. It’s great to see some of my girls back here.

We still have Naomi and Nattie. I’ve never caused chaos to Bayley, that’s someone…and someone who I’ve really been loving and I kind of want to kick her off her high horse is Chelsea Green.”

WWE 2K25 will feature a special Bloodline Edition, celebrating Roman Reigns’ faction and the wider Anoa’i family. Recently, the OTC was asked for what he thinks Afa and Sika, both of whom passed in 2024, would make to the Bloodline storyline.

“I think they’re looking down on us and they’re proud. I think they’re looking at what they started and they’re seeing what we’re developing.”

Reigns and his family have played a pivotal role on WWE for years now, a period of time that has seen wider changes to the company at large. When asked if this was the ‘Bloodline Era’ Reigns left it to others to define this period of time, but felt the name was apt.

“I don’t think you can go wrong by saying it’s the Bloodline era, the Tribal Chief era. We are the center of the storm. We make everything happen. All roads run through us. Even Cody Rhodes.”

The Bloodline saga has continued to develop, with eyes now on new arrivals including Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga. As for Roman Reigns, it remains to be seen what’s next for him after a different family member stood tall at the 2025 Royal Rumble PLE.

Drew McIntyre Stormed Off After Botched Royal Rumble Elimination (Report)

Drew McIntyre’s elimination from the 2025 men’s Royal Rumble reportedly did not go according to plan.

The former world champion entered the Rumble at #17 and survived till all 30 participants had entered the match. Right after the final entrance of Logan Paul, however, he was eliminated from the bout by Damian Priest.

PWInsider is now reporting that something went wrong with McIntyre’s elimination at the show and the wrestling veteran was not very happy about it.

According to them, Drew was “screaming and cursing” that “someone had to get their moves in” at the expense of other stories in the match when he got back to the gorilla position.

The Scottish Psychopath did not stick around for long after this. Drew McIntyre reportedly ‘loudly stormed out of’ the Lucas Oil Stadium before the conclusion of the main event.

The former Royal Rumble winner has carved a unique persona for himself with his out-of-the-box ideas and incredible character work over the past couple of years, so everything related to him has to be taken with a grain of salt.

Though if the reports are true, we’ll have to see how the management handles the situation and where McIntyre ends up on the WrestleMania card.

The report further states that McIntyre “pretty loudly stormed out of the building” and left well before the Royal Rumble match concluded.

It remains to be seen whether this frustration will have any long-term impact on his WWE status or upcoming WrestleMania plans.

Following her victory, Flair opened up about the emotional journey during the WWE Royal Rumble Post-Show press conference.

When my knee injury happened in December, I kept thinking, ‘I can’t go out this way.’ It made me realize how far I’ve come and why I started in the first place.”

Flair also expressed gratitude for the fans who supported her through her rehab journey, saying their encouragement helped her push forward.

“As a performer, sometimes you wonder, ‘Do I still got it? What am I coming back to do?’ But winning the Royal Rumble for a second time made me realize—I’m here to do it all over again.”

She also shared a lighthearted moment from her entrance, revealing she struggled to remove her robe due to the long hiatus.

“Good thing I remembered how to wrestle because I couldn’t get my robe off,” she joked.

Flair’s victory cements her place in WWE history, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown at WrestleMania.

TNA World Champion Joe Hendry Appears At WWE Royal Rumble 2025

Someone in Indianapolis must have said Joe Hendry’s name, as the TNA World Champion appeared in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match. Hendry entered the match at #15 to a huge pop from the crowd inside Lucas Oil Stadium. On commentary, Michael Cole shared highlights of Hendry’s career, including his victory over Nic Nemeth at Genesis.

Despite the ovation, Hendry’s time in the Men’s Royal Rumble match wasn’t a long one. The Scottish star was thrown about by Roman Reigns, who was the #16 entrant.

Hendry’s appearance in the WWE Men’s Royal Rumble match is just the latest showcase for the TNA World Champion. Hendry appeared in WWE NXT in 2024 and challenged then-NXT Champion Ethan Page at No Mercy. Though Hendry failed to win the richest prize in NXT, the Scottish star remains one of the most popular stars in pro wrestling today.

Hendry’s role in the Royal Rumble comes after WWE and TNA announced a multi-year partnership that has promised plenty of crossover between the two companies. Though Joe Hendry didn’t win the Men’s Royal Rumble match, this may not be the last time fans see the TNA World Champion in a WWE ring.
