The Indianapolis Colts manufactured a thrilling performance last night, scoring an upset win over the Philadelphia Steelers. Former Colts punter Pat McAfee was in attendance at the Lucas Oil Field. During the game, a video package on the big screen displayed an advertisement for WWE’s upcoming events at the stadium. Moreover, WWE Superstars Liv Morgan and Drew McIntyre represented the company as they joined McAfee in rallying the crowd.
Morgan and McIntyre promoted WWE’s deal with Indiana to host three of its biggest PLEs. Next year’s Royal Rumble will be coming to the Lucas Oil Field. Further, the deal includes a future SummerSlam and WrestleMania as well. However, the dates and location for the two-night events have not been revealed as of yet.
Pat McAfee has often acted as a bridge between the two global giants. Prior to the season start, McAfee invited Sheamus for College GameDay’s promotional tour to Ireland. The 37-year-old also appeared in WWE’s initial video package for their deal with Indiana.

WWE is no stranger to involving itself with the NFL. Last week, Seth Rollins grabbed the headlines for his antics at the Bears vs. Colts game. The former WWE Champion engaged in hilarious banter with T.Y. Hilton, who dumped Rollins on the field. The latter was once again present for yesterday’s Ravens vs. Bills game.
Meanwhile, Bayley and Naomi attended the 49ers’ game against the Rams. The duo reunited with former tag team partner and current AEW TBS Champion, Mercedes Mone. Needless to say, fans can expect more similar participation from WWE in the ongoing NFL season.
What to expect from the WWE Royal Rumble next year?
As mentioned, WWE has begun advertising the 2025 Royal Rumble. Weeks prior to the event on February 1, a new era for Monday Night Raw will kick off on Netflix. Furthermore, The Rock and John Cena are expected to be back in the fold by January.
The Cenation Leader has emerged as an early favorite to win the Royal Rumble match. After all, Cena will most likely set his sights on winning his 17th world title in his final year as a professional wrestler. On the other hand, The Great One will return to deal with the ongoing Bloodline drama. More importantly, the Black Adam star has vowed to come after Cody Rhodes as well.
Hence, Cena and Rock will be among the many superstars likely available for the Royal Rumble. In addition to the Hollywood actors, WWE’s biggest stars are set to light up the show. The likes of Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and Rhea Ripley will have a huge role to play at the PLE.
