Former WWE Women’s Champion Bianca Belair has invited WNBA star Caitlin Clark to compete in the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble.
As previously reported, WWE announced an agreement made with the Indiana Sports Corp to bring the 2025 Royal Rumble event as well as a two-night SummerSlam and WrestleMania in the future to Indianapolis.
The 2025 Rumble premium live event will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday, February 1.
At the press event to formally announce the news, WWE star Bianca Belair spoke with Matt Aguilar of ComicBook Nation and invited WNBA Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark to compete in the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble Match. She said:
“It’s so funny because everybody’s already asking that (Caitlin Clark being at one of WWE’s Premium Live Events in Indianapolis). Even before the press conference, they’re bringing up Caitlin Clark.”
“Listen, I love what’s happening with the WNBA. I love that women are getting more spotlight and more attention. I’ve always said, you know, we don’t need to do anything different.”
“We just need the opportunities, we need the media coverage and the WNBA is doing that.”
“I feel like WWE, we’ve done a lot of unprecedented things when it comes to women, whether it’s women main eventing WrestleManias, main eventing on a weekly basis at Raws or SmackDowns or PLEs so, it would be really cool for the two worlds to combine and have an even bigger impact for women so Caitlin Clark, if you’re watching, come on. Come in the Royal Rumble.”
“You can be one of the 30 participants. That’s what’s exciting about the Royal Rumble, right? You never know what’s gonna happen.”
“It could be the past, the present, the future or just someone that you don’t expect so, you might see Caitlin Clark, 2025 Royal Rumble right here in Indianapolis.”
Bianca Belair is currently in a tag team with Jade Cargill after losing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships at Clash At The Castle.
Belair last wrestled in a loss to Chelsea Green in a Triple Threat Money In The Bank Qualifying Match with Michin on the June 21 edition of SmackDown.
WWE CCO Triple H also commented on the WWE’s new deal with the Indiana Sports Corp, which you can read here.
