WWE Royal Rumble 2025 takes place on Saturday, February 1, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN.
The New Day have been accusing WWE talent of disrespect after kicking Big E out of the faction.
The trend continued today on Twitter, as Kofi Kingston called out WWE for not including him on a Royal Rumble banner at the Indianapolis airport.
Kingston wrote, “The disrespect is unconscionable. I don’t care if I haven’t won it. When someone says “Royal Rumble”, you think of me. I should be on every single #royalrumble ad until the end of time. And you still don’t understand why we are the way we are…”
The disrespect is unconscionable.
I don’t care if I haven’t won it. When someone says “Royal Rumble”, you think of me.
I should be on every single #royalrumble ad until the end of time.
And you still don’t understand why we are the way we are… pic.twitter.com/c5JlCSyzDN

During a recent appearance on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Penta discussed his triumphant WWE debut on the January 13th episode of RAW.
Penta noted that he had mixed feelings about his WWE debut.
He said, “Oh, man, actually, I had mixed feelings and emotions. When I heard the ‘one, two, three,’ I turned around my head to the crowd, I see my daughter crying. I feel so proud about me, and next I feel so proud about my family. In my mind, it’s, ‘I did this because this is my dream.’ My family is here, the big place, California. California represents something special for me in my career because I started in LA. What a [special] night for me. Chad Gable, this match with Chad Gable, turning point in my career because Chad Gable is one of the beat wrestlers in the world. Very professional, very…he have something like me, the passion for this business. I said after my match, ‘Thank you, Chad because you is the person [in] the turning point of my career.’ Now, after the match, I take my family with Rey Mysterio, drink in cheers with something in my room, I take dinner with my family, talking about it after the match. I asked my daughter, ‘How you feel?’ My daughter said, ‘I don’t know, sad and happy.’ I understand why, because it’s 20 years, work every day for this dream. This is my feeling now.”
Penta will compete in the men’s Royal Rumble match tomorrow night.
