Logan Paul:
Logan Paul celebrates Saturday, Feb. 1, 2025, during the WWE Royal Rumble at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
“The Maverick” Logan Paul and Austin Theory came out with Paul Heyman after a video montage by the WWE. That’s when they said that they’ll be targeting everyone in the company. With Bron Breakker back, you can only expect that to become a reality.

L.A. Knight:
L.A. Knight defeated IShowSpeed and the Vision, with the Usos in their tag team match at Wrestlemania. They won this match, but where the WWE is going with Knight is up in the air. I still feel that they’re going to create a feud between Knight and Jey Uso, but with injury rumors in the air, this could easily snowball in any direction. YEAH!
-
Trick Williams:
Trick Williams came out with Lil Yachty on Smackdown last week to practically run his mouth. With Williams holding the U.S. Championship now, you can expect his politics and his Lemon Pepper Steppers to be on your screens for a very long time. This led to a Gingerbread man attacking him, which clearly was Sami Zayn dressed up.
-
Oba Femi:
Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar clashed at Wrestlemania this weekend, with Femi coming out on top. Since then, Femi is now regarded as the top monster in the company, even though he’s a baby face right now. After cutting his promo on Monday Night RAW, he reiterated that the “Ruler has arrived.”
-
Penta:
Penta showed why the WWE believes in him by defending his title in a grueling ladder match. There were many highlights for all of the superstars in this match, but none was better than Penta grabbing his title and retaining his Intercontinental Championship. With Backlash coming up next, it’s unknown if Penta will be featured on this card, since the WWE seems to be using these PLEs as a feature now, instead of including all of their wrestlers.
-
“Main Event” Jey Uso:
Jey Uso celebrates winning Saturday, Feb. 1, 2025, during the WWE Royal Rumble at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Jey and Jimmy Uso came out to cut a promo with their cousin Roman Reigns before being interrupted by another one of their cousins, Jacob Fatu. Fatu was disrespected by all three members of the Bloodline, but stood his ground and stance. He told the OTC that he wasn’t there for a reunion but a challenge. This feud should help catapult Fatu into the spotlight again after losing it due to his injury. YEET!
-
Randy Orton:
Randy Orton lost to Cody Rhodes on Saturday, which now leads Orton to a crossroad in his career. Puns aside, Orton obliterated Rhodes after the match, which had plenty of shenanigans in itself. However, with an injury floating in the air for Orton, I’m not sure if he’s going to be written off T.V., or if they’ll keep running him out there.
-
C.M. Punk:
C.M. Punk lost his World Heavyweight Championship to Roman Reigns in the main event at Wrestlemania. After cutting a promo with Reigns, he decided to say some things to Cody Rhodes, who seems to be Punk’s next target. While he was leaving the ring and walking up the ramp, Rhodes spoke up and told Punk he could have a shot anytime he wanted.
-
Roman Reigns:
Roman Reigns defeated C.M. Punk by pinfall after it looked like Punk had gassed out at the end of the match. By not being able to pick up the Tribal Chief, Reigns regained his strength, leading to him putting the final spear in Punk’s title reign. For now, Reigns had promised that he would give the fans what they want, and that’s him being an active champion. He did that this week by reuniting the Bloodline and putting Jacob Fatu in his place.
-
Cody Rhodes:
Cody Rhodes is the number one, pound-for-pound, wrestler in the world, and whether you love or hate it, I’m right. After defeating Randy Orton at Wrestlemania, Rhodes was faced with his next opponent. That opponent is none other than C.M. Punk, who seemed to have moved on from Roman Reigns after his defeat.
