Several key figures from WWE’s development and talent management were present at the 2025 Royal Rumble pay-per-view event, including Shawn Michaels, Terry Taylor, Steve Corino, and Matt Bloom.
On Friday and Saturday, the women had extensive rehearsals for the Royal Rumble match. While the men’s rehearsal schedule was not confirmed, Fightful Select is reporting that the women’s preparation received high praise, particularly for the “iron woman” performances of Roxanne Perez, Liv Morgan, and IYO SKY.
Reports indicate that the timing for the Royal Rumble 2025 entrances was less strict than usual, likely due to the unique layout of the ramp and a more relaxed production setup.
Michael Hayes was reportedly overseeing operations backstage during the 2025 Royal Rumble pay-per-view event. The women’s Royal Rumble match was produced by Petey Williams, TJ Wilson, and Kenny Dykstra, while Shane Helms took charge of producing the men’s Royal Rumble match.
