PBR 2025 World Finals: Last Stand at Ride for Redemption
Picture Credit/Courtesy of: PBROn the hallowed dirt of Cowtown Coliseum in Fort Worth, the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) World Finals: Ride for Redemption roars to life May 14-15, as up to 47 of the world’s toughest bull riders battle the rankest bulls for a shot at the PBR World Finals: Championship.
Locked out of the 20 berths to AT&T Stadium May 17-18, these cowboys – gritty, forged veterans and hungry contenders alike – fight for five berths to keep their dreams alive.
This ain’t just any ride. The Ride for Redemption is a crucible of grit and glory. In the historic Coliseum’s arena, every buck, twist, belly roll, and desperate fall before the 8-second whistle carries the weight of continuing to chase their World Finals dreams.
Several stand-out riders will try to secure a spot inside AT&T Stadium. Thiago “Baby-T” Salgado, Ezekiel “Blue” Mitchell, and João Lucas Campos are some who stand out. Thiago had one heck of a ride during the Eliminations on Washita Red for 87.25. Check out the ride below:
Blue and João Lucas Campos were in the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour Finals, but did not advance to the World Finals from that event. This makes them two stand-out riders who may be ready to strike and make their claim to one of the five berths to compete on bull riding’s grandest stage.
Marcus Mast, a dark horse that may surprise some, won the Velocity Tour championship. He could surprise everyone in this event, claim the event title, and continue to the Championship weekend.
It’s tough to say who will ultimately claim the five berths to continue onward out of the riders competing at Ride for Redemption. It could be a dark horse like Alex Cerqiua or Ashton Sahli. You won’t want to miss any of the exciting action over the two nights.
If you aren’t near the Stockyards, you may wonder where you can watch all of the action. That is pretty simple, as there is only one place to watch Ride for Redemption: the Cowboy Channel or the Cowboy Channel Plus App at 9:00 PM ET on Wednesday and Thursday nights to catch all of the excitement as it happens.
It won’t be an easy road for these riders to go down to continue on their quest to the World Finals Championship. But, at the end of that road is another shot at glory and standing tall atop the CanAm Shark cage inside the home of the Dallas Cowboys.
