Is Kai Cenat in the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble?

The leap from streamer and influencer to WWE superstar isn’t necessarily a long one. Logan Paul took to the industry like a prodigy thanks to his combination of athleticism and natural gift of being one of America’s worst people. With him came premium live event appearances from similar online talents like KSI and IShowSpeed.

Will Kai Cenat be the next link in this inscrutable chain? The 23-year-old Twitch and YouTube staple has been slowly weaved into the fabric of the WWE universe and will be in attendance for the 2025 Royal Rumble. Could a squared circle showdown with IShowSpeed be next?

Getting in the ring would be one thing, but it seems clear from the lead-up that WWE plans to use him in some regard after making a display of Pat McAfee inviting Cenat to Indianapolis. If he’s not one of the 30 contestants in the men’s battle royale, expect him and IShowSpeed to have some kind of faceoff that pushes their storyline into later episodes of Monday Night Raw or beyond.
