Scott Steiner is known for his big personality and unfiltered opinions, as Big Poppa Pump is never afraid to speak his mind. This week, Steiner sparked speculation by hinting at a potential appearance this weekend at the the 2025 Royal Rumble premium live event.
WWE announcer Pat McAfee expressed his excitement about the Rumble on X. He’s heading (home) to Indianapolis and believes the atmosphere will be electric and that the event will be unforgettable. With just over a week to go, he emphasized that Indianapolis is the perfect host city and that the world will soon see why.
This post caught the attention of Steiner, who suggested that the Royal Rumble would only achieve true epic status if he were to make an appearance.
Despite being one of wrestling’s most notorious names, Steiner has done relatively little in the Royal Rumble match. Steiner has just two Rumble matches to his name which fell exactly one decade apart (1994, 2004.) Steiner’s sole elimination took place in the 1994 match and saw the future Freakzilla throw out Samu.
The WWE Royal Rumble 2025 is shaping up to be another exciting edition of the fan favorite event, with more and more names declaring themselves for the two 30-Superstar contests. It remains to be seen whether Scott Steiner enters the ring or merely makes an appearance, but there’s plenty of fans who’d love to see Steiner in Indianapolis.
