Two of the most well-known figures in professional wrestling, Carmelo Hayes and Penta El Zero Miedo, have made audacious remarks in the lead-up to WWE’s Royal Rumble 2025, which has increased anticipation to unprecedented levels.

Carmelo Hayes on John Cena: “He’s a Threat”

One of WWE’s fastest-rising stars, Carmelo Hayes, the former NXT Champion, has his sights set on John Cena, one of the greatest names in wrestling history.

Hayes has made it apparent that he views the 16-time world champion as an important hindrance to his own career, despite speculations that he may have been involved in the Royal Rumble event.

During a recent interview, Hayes was asked about Cena possibly entering the Rumble, and his response was both respectful and competitive:

“John Cena is a legend, no doubt. But right now, I’m the future of WWE, and I’m not letting anyone—no matter how big their name is—stand in my way. Cena is a threat, but I’m a different kind of beast. If he steps in that ring with me, he’s gonna find out real quick.”

Since his debut, Hayes has made waves on the main roster, and a strong showing in the Royal Rumble might be the next step in establishing himself as a top-tier talent.

One of the night’s most memorable moments might result from a possible confrontation with Cena within the 30-man over-the-top-rope battle.

Penta El Zero Miedo Prepares for WWE Royal Rumble Debut

Penta El Zero Miedo, a former AEW and Lucha Underground star, has announced his participation in the Royal Rumble, which will be his much awaited WWE pay-per-view debut. The masked luchador, who is renowned for his amazing aerial skills and unconventional style of attack, used social media to promote his debut in one of the most famous matchups in WWE history.

Penta posted on X (formerly Twitter):
“Royal Rumble… CERO MIEDO! The world will see what happens when the Lucha Brothers step into WWE’s biggest fight!”

The wrestling community was shocked by Penta’s WWE deal, and his involvement in the Rumble gives the event a sense of unpredictability. Fans are interested in seeing how his distinct style fits into the WWE roster, and given his experience in large international promotions, he might be a dark horse to advance far in the competition.

Royal Rumble 2025: The Stakes Are High

With 30 superstars competing for a chance to win the world championship at WrestleMania, the WWE Royal Rumble is one of the most exciting events of the year. The Rumble is expected to be full of must-see moments, with Hayes keen to establish himself, Penta making his debut, and Cena speculated to return.

Will Carmelo Hayes demonstrate his readiness to defeat Cena and other legends? Will Penta El Zero Miedo surprise the WWE Universe by bringing his lucha style to the main stage? Royal Rumble 2025 is quickly approaching, so fans won’t have to wait long to find out!
