Ludwig Kaiser reveals why he doesn’t see his WWE Royal Rumble elimination as a setback.
At WWE Royal Rumble 2025, Kaiser entered the men’s Royal Rumble match at the 13th spot. However, his dream of winning the match lasted only six seconds. Kaiser, who had just entered the ring, was quickly eliminated by Penta El Zero Miedo.
Ludwig Kaiser reflected on the elimination during the Kennt Jeder podcast with Hamad Firdousi. He said that wrestlers need to understand their role, even if it’s not what they personally want. The early elimination was part of the storyline with Penta, and the promotion chose him because he could generate a strong reaction from the crowd.
“You need to know your spot. Whether you are happy about it or not. You need to do it as well as possible. It was a setup for the storyline with Penta. You can feel personally attacked to be eliminated that early, or you can see it this way: They have chosen you to get the heat from the crowd easily, because they know you can. And I did that.”
Although Kaiser had hoped to win and face John Cena at WrestleMania, he approached the situation professionally and took it as a compliment. “Personally, I wanted to be there, win it and beat Cena at Mania. But not professionally. You can not do that. I took it as a compliment. There are many heels. Some that get booed, some get cheered.”
“I am one of those who gets booed, alongside Logan Paul and Dominik Mysterio. Do not waste your time on what you want so much. Focus on the task at hand. Remember that you are there for a reason, trust in it. Give them what they want and more.” [H/T: Wrestletalk]
