WWE star Bianca Belair encouraged Caitlin Clark to take part in the upcoming 2025 Royal Rumble match set to take place at Lucas Oil Stadium on February 1.
On June 24, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque announced a partnership between the organization and the Indiana Sports Corp, bringing three of their biggest events to the home of the Colts next year.
With Royal Rumble being the first of the trilogy to hit the Hoosier state, Belair urged the Indiana Fever superstar to participate in the historic pay-per-view.
‘Everybody is already asking that,’ the EST told ComicBook Nation. ‘Even before the press conference, they’re bringing up Caitlin Clark. I love what’s happening with the WNBA. I love that women are getting more spotlight and more attention.’
‘I’ve always said that we don’t need to do anything different, we just need opportunities and media coverage,’ she continued. ‘The WNBA is doing that. WWE, we’ve done a lot of unprecedent things where it comes to women.
Whether it’s women main-eventing WrestleMania, main-eventing on a weekly basis on Raw, SmackDown, or PLEs. It would be really cool for the two worlds to combine and have an even bigger impact for women.
Caitlin Clark if you’re watching, come on and join,’ Belair added. ‘Come in the Royal Rumble. You can be one of the 30 participants. That’s what’s exciting about the Royal Rumble.
‘You never know what’s going to happen. It could be the past, present, future, or just someone you don’t expect. You might see Caitlin Clark 2025 Royal Rumble in Indianapolis.’
While Clark’s invite has just been sent, Indiana Pacers frontman Tyrese Haliburton has already campaigned to participate in the upcoming WWE festivities.

Reposting Triple H’s announcement, Haliburton wrote: ‘Just hear me out, @NBA.’ The Pacers guard also posted a picture with the WWE chief and had his custom T-shirt released on WWE Shop.
Referencing Stone Cold Steve Austin’s popular quote, Haliburton’s merch reads ‘Tyrese 3:17’ in front and features a basketball with blue and yellow flames and the number zero in the back.
While her participation is to be determined, the WNBA season ends in January, making Clark available for the Royal Rumble the month after.
