Ric Flair Shares Why John Cena Should’ve Won 2025 WWE Royal Rumble

Legendary WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair endorsed 16-time World Heavyweight Champion John Cena in his attempt to claim the 2025 Royal Rumble title. Even though Cena was a heavy contender, he failed to clinch the win, leaving fans crestfallen as they had set their hopes high on him.

In the 2025 Royal Rumble event, John Cena and Jey Uso were left as the last two contenders. Making his entry at number 23, Cena proved his strength by knocking out Finn Bálor, Braun Strowman, and Logan Paul from the ring. As the match approached its end, Cena and Uso fought on the edge of the ring. In an attempt to execute an Attitude Adjustment, Cena was thwarted as Uso countered by pushing him off the edge, securing his win.

Following the defeat, Cena disclosed his next step – participating in the Elimination Chamber bout. With an impressive 16 world titles under his belt, a number he shares with The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, Cena continues to stand among WWE’s most illustrious champions. More recently, Flair expressed his desire for Cena to win the Royal Rumble event.

Ric Flair gives his take on John Cena’s WWE Royal Rumble outcome

On Gabby AF, Ric Flair expressed his opinions regarding John Cena’s defeat at the 2025 Royal Rumble. In a playful manner, he admitted that he secretly wished for Cena’s win, as it would have prolonged his presence on WWE TV, boosting his visibility during WrestleMania 41 preparations.

He expressed that he was rooting for John strongly, as the media would have been discussing him on television for the next three months if John had won, but it helped keep him focused. Jey is fantastic, and The Usos are exceptional performers, both individually and as a team. They may appear to be big kids, but people often underestimate their size. They weigh around 230 to 240 pounds; they’re not small-sized individuals. They can perform the same feats that Rey Mysterio can. [Source: WrestlingInc]

Although John Cena didn’t win at the Royal Rumble, he’s not giving up. He’s gearing up to face off against five other wrestlers in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match this weekend. It will be exciting to see if Cena can emerge victorious, set his sights on challenging Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship, and potentially break Ric Flair’s record.
