The Royal Rumble delivered shockers, surprises, and history-making moments, and Wrestling Tonight is here to break it all down!
Jey Uso pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Royal Rumble history, eliminating John Cena to secure his spot in the WrestleMania 41 main event. Michael Cole called it the biggest upset in Rumble history, and now Uso faces a career-defining decision—will he challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship or Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship in Las Vegas?
The surprises didn’t stop there. The Women’s Royal Rumble saw the long-awaited return of Charlotte Flair, making a stunning comeback after over a year away due to injury. Entering at #27, she powered through the field and eliminated Roxanne Perez to become the first woman in history to win multiple Royal Rumble matches. Meanwhile, the night was packed with unforgettable moments—AJ Styles made a shocking return, TNA Champion Joe Hendry had a surreal WWE debut, and even internet sensation IShowSpeed got involved in the chaos.
Beyond the Royal Rumble, WWE made headlines with a mix of celebration and controversy. Paul "Triple H" Levesque received a surprise WWE Hall of Fame induction, marking an emotional milestone for the industry legend and creative mastermind. But elsewhere, Janel Grant’s explosive lawsuit continues to rock WWE, now involving Brock Lesnar, Nick Khan, and other top names.
The company is also making major business moves, with the announcement of WWE Evolve—a new developmental show set to premiere on Tubi under the guidance of Gabe Sapolsky. Meanwhile, MLS made waves by shifting its studio operations to WWE headquarters, marking an unexpected crossover between sports and entertainment. And in the independent scene, chaos erupted when Joey Janela and Derek Bostic reignited an old feud in a wild ringside brawl.
Over in AEW, big moves are happening as well—Megan Bayne has officially signed with the company, Grand Slam Australia’s start time is set, and Moxley vs. Cope is locked in for Revolution in Los Angeles. And as the wrestling world looks ahead, Dark Side of the Ring is returning with a stacked Season 6 lineup, featuring deep dives into Big Van Vader, Tony Atlas, Billy Jack Haynes, and more.
