The Royal Rumble is among the most anticipated WWE premium live events among wrestling fans. Ahead of this year's edition of the PLE, the Stamford-based promotion might have revealed the run-time of Saturday's show.
The Royal Rumble 2025 will be the 38th edition of the premium live event. The show will air this Saturday from the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The event is scheduled to kickstart at 6 p.m. ET.
WWE's official YouTube channel has scheduled the upcoming PLE's post-show livestream to start at 10 p.m. ET. Considering there isn't usually a gap between the ending of the main event and the post-show, this year's premium live event might have a run-time of close to four hours.

Wrestling legend John 'Bradshaw' Layfield recently predicted 16-time World Champion John Cena as the winner of this year's Men's 'Rumble. The 30-man match will be The Cenation Leader's first in-ring appearance during his Farewell Tour.
During his recent appearance on Something to Wrestle, JBL named John Cena as his pick to secure the win this Saturday. The WWE Hall of Famer praised the 47-year-old and said that going with him as the choice to win this year's edition makes perfect sense.
"I don't know how you couldn't go with [John] Cena. I mean, it's such a great story. I just don't know how you wouldn't go with him. You've got a 16-time World Champion, one of the greatest of all time, and carried the company during a G-rated era, which had to be the hardest role of any champion ever," he said.
