It’s not long to go until one of the biggest night of the year for fans of professional wrestling - the WWE’s Royal Rumble.
And for the first time Netflix subscribers will be able to watch all the action for free, as part of a historic £4billion 10-year deal between the WWE and the streaming giant.
Earlier this months saw the debut of WWE Raw on Netflix, with the latest plots, beefs and bouts available every Monday, 52-weeks a year, as the wrestling roadshow travels across the USA and beyond.
The 38th annual Rumble will be the first major event to feature on Netflix and, as usual, will see 30 men and 30 women enter the ring one at a time, fighting to avoid being thrown out and be the last competitor standing.
This year’s Rumble will take place on Saturday, February 1, at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, starting at about 1am UK time.
If you want to watch but don’t yet have a Netflix subscription you can sign up for £4.99 or more here.
In the meantime, here are the 11 wrestlers who the bookies reckon have the best chance of taking the Royal Rumble 2025 crown.

9. Sami Zayn
Canadian wrestler Sami Zayn is priced at 12/1 to beat allcomers and win the Royal Rumble. He's had a number of other ring names in his wrestling career, including Big Larry, El Generico, Rami Sebei and Stevie McFly. | Getty Images

10. Logan Paul
Social media influencer Logan Paul is a WWE part-timer but has made a pretty big impact whenever he has entered the ring. His mid-air collision with Ricochet in Royal Rumble 2023 was one of the moments of the match, but he was eventually elimated by eventual winner Cody Rhodes. He's a 14/1 shot to go all the way this year. | Getty Images

11. Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar is the only man to have won the primary heavyweight championships of WWE, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), the Inoki Genome Federation (IGF), and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). He also won the Royal Rumble on two occasions, in 2003 and 2022. He's been on hiatus from active competition since 2023 but is 14/1 to make a comeback at Royal Rumble 2025 and take the title. | Getty Images
