Cena won after reversing a Phenomenal Forearm and hitting a third and fourth Attitude Adjustment on Styles to become a 13-time WWE Champion. Both of them acknowledge the bout as their best, and rightly so, as it's still discussed as the best title bout in Royal Rumble history.

Following the 2025 Royal Rumble, in which Cena was the runner-up, he announced his participation in the Men's Elimination Chamber match. Presumably, WWE will follow the same format as last year and have the winner earn a championship match at WrestleMania 41.

WWE Royal Rumble 2025 didn't go according to John Cena's way, as he was eliminated by Jey Uso, who won the gimmick match.
