  • Jey Uso Eliminates John Cena! WWE Royal Rumble Review 2025
    Feb 8 2025

    Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows! This podcast episode is SPONSORED by YOU the viewer, the fan, the listerner, and the sharer! Thank you!


    In this episode, I dive into my thoughts on WWE Royal Rumble 2025, breaking down the good, the bad, and everything in between. I start by discussing the incredible ladder match between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens for the WWE Undisputed Championship, followed by the epic showdown between Motor City Machine Guns and DIY for the Tag Team Titles—one that’s going to get its own Tape Study Chatter episode!

    Then, I get into the Royal Rumble itself. Charlotte Flair’s victory in the Women's Rumble, despite her injury break, didn’t sit right with me, and I explain why. As for the Men's Rumble, Jey Uso’s win over John Cena left me a bit torn—I'm a fan of Jey, but Cena’s retirement tour had me thinking this was his moment. Listen in as I break it all down, sharing why I’m torn about Jey’s win and what I would’ve liked to see moving forward.

    Join me for a deep dive into the Rumble, and don’t forget to check out the Tape Study Chatter episode for more on that Tag Team classic!
