Michael Cole: Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to The Royal Rumble. I am the voice of UWF, Michael Cole and as always with me is my broadcast partner, Jerry "The King" Lawler. King, what a card we have for everyone tonight and it's hghlighted by thirty man Royal Rumble Match!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: Cole, I can't wait for that. Someone is going to WrestleMania. But let's not forget the rest of the card that we have. Speifically, John Morrison gets another shot at Cody Rhodes' UWF Championdip.

Cole: That's going to be an amazing match, but what the dream match? Never before, never again; it's D'Angelo Dinero versus The Rock!

King: I can't wait to see that Cole, but for now, let's toss it over to our friends from Friday nights; Good Ol' JR Jim Ross and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper!

Jim Ross: Thank you King. Welcome Ladies and Gents. Yes tonight, RAW may have a strong card, but Smackdown will most certainly steal the show. We may not have a lot of matches Hot Rod, but I;m sure a Smackdown guy will come through and win the Royal Rumble.

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper: That's right Ross! The real Main Event will belong to Smackdown. But let's not forget about the World Heavyweight Championship Match as Jeff Hardy defends aganist Dean Ambrose!

JR: That's going to be a Slobberknocker for sure! But for now, let's toss it to the NXT team!

Joey Styles: Thank You Jim! And yes ladies and gents, NXT is back on Pay-Per-View. And tonight, we have the red hot CM Punk challenging Bully Ray for the NXT World Heavyweight Championship

Matt Striker: What a match that's going to be Joey. But how about Sting defending his NXTreme Championship aganist the Human Suplex Machine Tazz?

Styles: That match should be great! Either way, the real show stealer will be an NXT Superstar winning the Royal Rumble and heading to WrestleMania.

Striker: You would be correct Joespeh, but let's get this bad boy started; what do you say....

And after the introductions, we head to the ring for our first contest.

Styles: Well here comes NXT's first match of the evening, it will be for the NXT Extreme Championship and it will be fought between 'The Icon' Sting and 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz.

Striker: This one is a clash of the legends Joey, one who has recently gone through transformations and character searching and the other who has simply always been, and always will be a complete bad-ass.

Styles: Sting has vowed to hold onto the Extreme Championship to complete his dose of 'anti-venom' into NXT in a long term effort to rid NXT of JBL and his 'corrupt Cabinet'... but will Taz put a wrench in the works for Sting and claim his first piece of gold here on NXT?.

Christy Hemme: The following contest is set for one fall and it is for the NXT Extreme Championship!.


When a man's heart is full of deceit
it burns up, dies, and a dark shadow
falls over his soul.

From the ashes of a once great man has risen a curse,
a wrong that must be righted.
We look to the skies for a vindicator,
someone to strike fear into the black heart of the same man who created him.

The battle between good and evil has begun.
Against an army of shadows comes the dark warrior,
the purveyor of good, with a voice of silence,
and a mission of justice.

This. Is. Sting.

The crowd go wild as Sting's theme hits the PA system and before long out comes Sting with his Extreme Championship in hand, he raises it aloft so the whole crowd can see it. He basks in the crowds more positive reaction now he returned to the crow facepaint. Sting makes his way down to the ring and slides in, he goes straight to the top rope and holds the title up high letting out a 'WOOOOO' also.

Christy Hemme: Introducing first, from Venice Beach, California, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is the NXT Extreme Champion, 'The Icon' Sting!.

As the infamous heartbeat begins to thunder throughout the arena, it signals the moment the UWF Universe begin to cheer for the arriving Taz. Once the heartbeat ceases and the theme kicks in, Taz emerges from the back in his wrestling gear, a black towel hangs over his face. Taz doesn't take the time to soak in the atmosphere, instead choosing to make his way down the ramp and towards the ring. Taz eventually reaches the steel steps, not breaking stride as he makes his way up them and promptly enters the ring. He then simply stands in the corner, his arms folded, focused on the task in hand.

Christy Hemme: And the challenger, hailing from the Red Hook Section of Brooklyn, New York. He weighs in at 238 pounds... this is Taz!

The match starts with a stare off between the two legends. Before long Sting makes a move towards the centre of the ring. Taz does this also, arms still crossed, no intimidation shown by Taz, he's in here to win a championship and not to make friends. Both men have a long staredown before eventually locking horns centre of the ring. They push each other around the ring before Sting takes the first advantage with a tightly held Headlock. This however does not last too long as Taz simply lifts Sting up and drops him down behind him with a Backdrop Suplex. Sting is surprisingly quick to his feet and gets up this time into Taz taking him down with a Judo Hip Toss to the canvas mat, Taz then wraps Sting up in a grounded Headlock. Sting, like Taz, wastes no time in getting out of the hold, getting to a vertical base and running Taz off the ropes across the ring and when he rebounds Sting takes him down with a Clothesline knocking Taz down to the mat below.

Styles: Fast and furious pace to start this match off.

Striker: Not to sound rude, but I did not expect the match to get off the a flyer like this between two older guys, they certainly show no sign of slowing down in their veteran years here on NXT.

Taz gets up and walks into another Clothesline from Sting who is starting to get the crowd on side. As Taz gets up again Sting grabs him and Irish Whips him into the corner of the ring. Taz who is up against the turnbuckles is then faced with Sting running at him and going for the Stinger Splash, however he quickly dodges Sting and Sting collides with the top turnbuckle. Taz then grabs Sting and pops the hips, twisting round and dropping Sting with a Belly to Belly Slam. Taz gets up and takes some steps back waiting for Sting to get to his feet, when Sting does Taz goes for the Brooklyn Boot, but Sting dodges and wraps his arm around Taz in an Inverted DDT position, looking for the Scorpion Death Drop but he can get a good grip as Taz twists around and hits Sting with a bridging Northern Lights Suplex. Stings shoulders are down on the mat so the referee counts the pin.

Kickout from 'The Icon'.

Styles: Beautiful Bridging Northern Lights Taz-Plex there, and that's why they call him the 'Human Suplex Machine'

Both men get back to their feet and stare each other down, Sting nods his head, Taz just stares. Both men then lock up again in the Collar and Elbow tie-up. Taz takes 'The Icon' into a Hammerlock before placing him in a Headlock, Taz then drives Sting's head down onto his knee before grabbing the arm of Sting. Taz then goes for the Cross Armbar, but Sting stops Taz going for it, pushing Taz away across the ring off of the ring ropes. When Taz comes back at Sting, 'The Stinger' lifts him up and drops him down onto his knee with an Inverted Atomic Drop, this drops Taz to the mat in front of Sting allowing Sting to grab the legs of Taz and put his leg through them, knotting up the legs before turning round and locking in the Scorpion Deathlock. Sting has the lock sitched in but he is far too close to the ring ropes to force a submission victory from Taz. Taz only has to crawl a small distance to reach the bottom rope and force the break of the submission from Sting.

Styles: Taz escaping the Scorpion Deathlock there, Sting must be feeling the end is near.

Striker: I don't know Sting seemed to worn down to put the lock on in the centre of the ring, allowing Taz to escape so easily!

Sting gets up and runs his hands through his hair in frustration. He looks down at Taz who is getting to his feet using the ring ropes. He walks over to Taz to grab at him but Taz fires back with a Back Elbow catching Sting right on the chin knocking Sting backwards several paces. Taz then starts firing away with right hands to 'The Stinger. Sting blocks one of these right hands eventually and swings with a big hooking Lariat, but Taz ducks underneath the arm, gets behind Sting, hooks the looping Arm and wraps his arm around the throat of Sting driving the bones of the wrist and forearm down into Sting's windpipe locking in the Tazmission!. The crowd go crazy at the chance of a new Extreme Champion as Taz swing Sting around in the hold, Sting is fading but refuses to tap out. Taz falls back to the mat however on the mat Sting somehow kicks his legs up and lands them behind the head of Taz and forces Taz's shoulders onto the mat whilst still in the Tazmission.

Winner and STILL Extreme Champion: Sting!

Taz immediately lets go of the hold and shoots up onto his feet in disbelief. He has a wide eyed glare fixed on the referee who tries to reason with him that his shoulders were pinned to the mat, but Taz doesn't care and simply grabs the referee and tosses him overhead with a Capture Suplex. Taz is going apeshit in the ring as Sting rolls out of it and up the ramp with the Extreme Championship in his hands. Both men exchange a staredown from their positions. Taz motions that he was 'this close' and that he was still coming for the belt as Sting stares at his title belt.

Styles: I didn't think it was possible to piss off the most 'Misreable Son of a Bitch on the Planet' but apparently it is... Sting retains with a smart reversal, but you have to think, if Taz had that hold locked in just a little longer, Sting would've tapped. Sting however, as I said, retains the Extreme Championship here at the Royal Rumble.

The camera roll backstage where CM Punk is shown just arriving to the arena as he is walking with his bag on his right shoulder and is heading for his locker room. Joash Matthews is shown running up to CM Punk and asks him for a moment of his

Josh Matthews: CM Punk, I'm sorry to bother you. I know you have just arrived and you want to get settled and everything, but I wanted to ask you what is your gameplan heading into the NXT World Title match here tonight?

CM Punk: It's simple Josh, WIN! Bully Ray may be the NXT World Champion right now, but at the end of the night we will see history be made when I walk out as the new NXT World Champion. And that isn't an opinion, that's a FACT! You see I'm entitled to my opinion, but much like you, Bully Ray, and anyone else I always back up what I say and that's a fact! So tonight here in Phoenix, Arizona you will see a possibly several new champions crowned, you will see someones dreams be made by winning the Royal Rumble, and those are all face, but the biggest and most important fact out of all that is me leaving Phoenix with that NXT World Title. I will stick to my promise and come NXT next week I will come out and show to the world that I was right once again.

Josh Matthews: But what if you don't win?

CM Punk: Again your opinion is much like the others and you're entitled to it, but let's be serious here. I'm the best in the world and that's a fact. Tonight I am going to go out there and prove just that to someone who will be the former NXT World Champion. If I'm wrong and that's a big "IF" I will find you first and give you the ass kicking of a lifetime for jinxing me! And that Josh is a FACT! But you have nothing to worry about because I'm on top of my game like I have never been before. I am a true wrestler in this business and Bully Ray is just going to be another one of those wanna-be's that I have to give a wrestling lesson to. You know better than anyone else that I will voice my opinion and I do not care what the concesquences are after I speak the truth. And the truth is Bully Ray is buying time holding that championship title for me.

CM Punk looks into the camera

CM Punk: Keep that title warm for me, Bully Ray because you're not leaving with it! FACT!!

CM Punk walks off and the camera's roll to the arena

Prerecorded message

The scene opens with the arena not yet filling for the 2013 Royal Rumble. You can see workers scurrying around preparing for the opening Pay Per View of the year. In the foreground, is Jeff and Karen Jarrett who seem to be talking and laughing to each other. They look like they're about to get intimate when they realize the camera is running.

Jeff Jarrett: Oh! Hey, this good ole Double J, Jeff Jarrett, here in Phoenix, Arizona getting ready for the first Pay Per View of the new year, UWF's Royal Rumble and I am stoked!

Karen Jarrett: As am I! Let's face it, honey, when it comes to these kinda matches, it takes strength, stamina and the experience to know your way around. And, BOY, do you know your way around! (She slinks into Jeff and caresses his chest) And, as for strength and stamina, well you're the KING baby!

Jeff gets caught up in the moment and looks Karen over and begins to run his hands all over. After an uncomfortable moment, he smiles and looks back at the camera.

Jeff Jarrett: Oh! Yeah! The Rumble! Well, of course! Who knows these kinda matches better than the King of the Mountain? I don't know a person on the roster that can outlast ole Double J!!

Karen has still got that sensual look on her face: Oh, NO WAY!

Jeff tries to ignore her looks and continue on.

Jeff Jarrett: One that I'll guarantee won't get past me is EDGE! That idiot has stepped on me for the last time! He may have weaseled his way into the number thirty entrant, but I don't care if I gotta toss out all of the others to get to him, I'ma gonna move heaven and earth to earn the pleasure of tossing his Canadian ass out of that ring!

Karen Jarrett: And, if that skank, Trish Stratus, shows her has-been ass anywhere near that arena, I will personally show her a little of our American hospitality through one of the doors; preferably aimed north so she can get a start back home!!

Jeff Jarrett smiles: WHOAH, sweety pie! I don't know what kinda feminine anger issues you have with Stratus or what time of the month it is, but lets focus on the RUMBLE, ok, babe?

Karen doesn't look happy but backs off: ok...

Jeff Jarrett:And, as for that fat Samoan, you better keep tubby in his cage, Edge! Cause, not only do I have an EL CABONG for his tired ole gimmicked ass, but Del Rio and Ricky are in the building too. So, you can pull your lameass faction out, but just remember, the Kings are always prepared! And, as for the actual Rumble? All I want is a chance to toss you and maybe Sandow out of the ring and I will be one happy redneck camper!!!

fade out...

Cole: It's now time our clash between Robert Roode and Shawn Michaels. Several weeks ago on Raw, Robert Roode attacked Shawn Michaels, claiming Michaels has constantly hogged the spotlight.

King: And the feud turned personal when Robert Roode attacked Shawn Michaels' best friend, Triple H, and left The Game with a broken arm.

Cole: Now it's time to see if Michaels can gain a measure of revenge, or if Roode will prove that he is really the It factor of professional wrestling.

Justin Roberts: The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 230 pounds, he is the "It Factor" of preossional wrestling, Robert Roode!!

[video=youtube;h6yusnOLpyE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6yusnOLpyE[/video]

The Instrumental version of "Off The Chain" begins to play and the fans begin too boo. Roode makes his way out from the back with a look of grit and determination on his face. Roode walks down the ramp, the fans booing him the entire time. The It Factor ignores the people around him before entering the ring and climbing the top turnbuckle, posing as the heat continues to rain down on him.


Roberts:And his opponent, from San Antonio, Texas, weighting in at 227 pounds; he is the "Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels.

[video=youtube;7dqcpNEp0EM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7dqcpNEp0EM[/video]

Sexy Boy" plays and out dances the one and only Shawn Michaels from the back. Good Old HBK just like the fans love him. Men want to be him, women want to be with him, but none the less, they all cheer for him. Michaels dances about halfway down the ramp before dropping to both knees to say a little prayer before speaking loudly to the heavens as the pyro goes off behind him.

Michaels hops up off the steel and heads towards the ring where he enters and poses once more as his music fades.

The bell sounds and both Michaels and Roode stand on the opposing side of the ring. Michaels immediately runs at Roode, looking to gain the momentum and some retribution for what happened to Triple H. Robert Roode is ready for him and slides out of the ring under the bottom rope. Roode stares at Michaels from the outside of the ring and Michaels wastes no time rolling under the bottom rope and to the outside, going right after Roode yet again. Roode runs around the outside of the ring, trying to get away from the Heartbreak Kid. Michaels is in hot pursuit and chase Roode around the ring. With Michaels behind him, Roode slides back into the ring, but Shawn Michaels is right behind him. As Michaels slides in, Roode goes on the attack and begins to lay the boots to The Heartbreak Kid...

Cole: And it looks as if Robert Roode outsmarted Shawn Michaels!

Michaels tries to get to his feet, but Roode is relentless with his physical assault on him. Roode continues to stomp on the back and neck of Michaels as the Heartbreak Kid rolls over to the corner of the ring. Michaels grabs hold of the ropes, which causes the official to back Roode up away from Michaels. Michaels is able to pull himself to his feet as Roode shoves the referee out of the way and looks to go back on the attack. As Roode gets closer to the corner, Michaels lunges out of it and grabs Roode by the neck and throws him into the corner that he was just in. After turning the tables, Michaels cocks back and delivers a fierce knife-edged chop directly to Roode's chest. The crowd "Woos" as Roode clutches at his chest. Michaels follows the chop up with a right hand to the forehead. The fist almost knocks Roode to the canvas, but Michaels holds him up by the arm before Irish whipping him to the opposing corner. Roode counters and Michaels is sent to the far corner instead. Roode's added velocity behind the counter causes Michaels to hit the turnbuckle pad hard enough that the recoil forces him to stagger out. As Michaels heads towards him, Roode lowers his head and sends Michaels flying with a back body drop. Michaels soars in the air momentarily before landing hard on his back. After Michaels crashes down on the mat, Roode goes for the first cover of the match...

Shawn Michaels kicks out!

After Michaels kicks out, Roode grabs hold of Michaels' right arm and tries to apply a cross armbreaker. Roode pulls at the arm, but cannot get it straightened out because Michaels has locked his right and left hand together forming a lock which prevents Roode from applying the dangerous submission hold...

Cole: It seems that Roode's strategy is to do to Shawn Michaels what he did to Triple H!

King: I think Michaels knows that, which is why he was ready for that armbreaker!

Roode punches the locked hands of Shawn Michaels, hoping to break the lock that he has created. Roode cocks back and looks to deliver a hammer like fist onto Michaels' grip, but as he does, Michael breaks the grip on his own before grabbing Roode by the arm and pushing Roode back onto his shoulders, going for a cover....

2...

Roode kicks out!

Both men manage to get to their feet after the surprising counter from Shawn Michaels. As they do, Michaels leaves his feet and delivers a standing dropkick to Roode's face. This sends the It factor to the canvas and Michaels goes for a cover...

2...

Roode kicks out!

As Roode kicks out, Michaels gets back to his feet and returns the favor from earlier in the match. Roode begins laying his boots directly into Roode's midsection. Robert Roode groans with each boot that connects with his chest before rolling out of the ring under the bottom rope. As Roode rolls to the floor, Michaels looks to go after him, but the referee restrains him. He forces Michaels back to the center of the ring. The official turns his attention back to Roode before beginning his ten count...

Before Roode can enter the ring, Michaels shoves the referee out of the way and leaps over the top rope and lands on top of Roode with a plancha. The fans get to their feet as Michael delivers right hands to Roode before getting off him. Michaels leaping over the top broke the referee's count. The official must start again as Michaels lifts Roode to his feet...

Cole: What's Shawn Michaels going to do now?

Michaels grabs Roode before Irish whipping him towards the steel step...

Roode counters and sends Michaels crashing into the steel steps instead!

Roode rolls back into the ring before rolling back out!

King: That was a sick thud as Michaels hit those steps!

Shawn Michaels lays motionless on the floor as Robert Roode looks to go back on the attack. Roode grabs the steps before pulling them away from the steel ring pole, creating some distance between the two. The It factor soon turns his attention back to Michaels before grabbing the Heartbreak Kid by the right arm and placing it in between the steel steps and the ring pole. Roode then pushes the steps back into their original position, resting on Michaels' right arm before taking a few steps back and preparing himself for what comes next...

King: Oh no! Someone's got to stop this!

Roode pauses only momentarily before charging towards the steps and kicking them right into Michaels' arm which then hits the steel ring pole....

Cole: Oh my God!

Shawn Michaels screams in pain as Roode removes the steel steps. Michaels rolls around on the floor, grabbing at his arm. Roode wastes no time, grabbing Michaels by the hair and throwing him back into the ring. Roode soon follows after him and goes for the cover...

1...

2...

Michaels barely kicks out!

A frustrated Robert Roode gets back to his feet before grabbing Michaels' right arm and drops all of his body weight on it with a leg drop. Michaels motions at his arm as Roode talks trash to him...

King: It was only a matter of time before Roode got to the arm. Come on Shawn, you've got to fight back or he'll break your arm too.

After having a leg dropped down across his injured arm, Shawn Michaels rolls to the far side of the ring, trying to get away from Robert Roode. Roode watches as the Hall of Famer crawls away from him in a broken heap. Michaels picks himself up in the corner and Roode goes back on the attack. Roode goes to the corner as Michaels picks himself up with his back to the It factor. Roode quickly grabs Michaels by the arm and wraps it around Michaels' waist before pulling Michaels out of the corner and throwing him arm first onto the top turnbuckle pad. Michaels grabs his arm again as Roode lifts him off his feet and proceeds to drop him on his head with a back body drop. As soon as Michaels hits the canvas, Roode goes for another cover...

1...

2...

Michaels kicks out!

Cole: Roode is just softening Michaels up for that Fujiawara Armbar that he's become famous for.

After kicking out, Michaels again crawls to the far side of the ring, hoping for a reprieve. Robert Roode will not give it to him. Michaels gets to the corner again and picks himself up. Robert Roode heads towards Michaels and this time Michaels sees him coming. Roode begins to run and picks up some speed as he rushes Michaels. As Roode gets closer, Michaels raises both feet and drives them directly into Roode's face. This knocks Roode to his knee and he grabs his face to make sure that everything is still in place. As Roode checks his facial features, he is unaware that the Heartbreak Kid has lifted himself up off the canvas and to the middle rope. After assuring that everything is still in place, Roode moves his hands just in time to see Shawn Michaels leap off the middle rope and deliver a Crossbody block that drives both men to the canvas. Michaels is able to remain on top of Roode and hook both legs, going for a cover...

1...

2...

Roode kicks out!

Both men get up after Roode kicks out, and Michaels uses his left arm to deliver a stiff clothesline to Robert Roode. Roode hits the canvas but gets back to his feet just in time for Michaels to deliver another clothesline...

Cole: This might be the comeback that Michaels needed!

Roode hits the canvas again, but gets back to his feet a second time. This proves to be a mistake as Michaels uses his left arm to lift Roode off his feet and over his head before performing a scoop slam. Roode hits the canvas hard and Michaels makes his way to the far side of the ring. Michaels exits the ring through the middle rope and walks across the ring apron before slowly climbing to the top rope. Michaels wastes no time leaping off the top and driving his elbow directly into Robert Roode's heart. The fans get solidly behind their hero as Shawn Michaels manages to get to his feet, still slightly holding his arm. Michaels lets the pain leave his mind as he makes his way to the far corner of the ring and raises his boot before stomping it firmly on the canvas...

King: And it looks like the band might be playing tonight!

Michaels continues to stomp his foot, and with each stomp the fans clap their hands in anticipation of what's going to happen next. Michaels' rhythm and speed increases as Robert Rode gets closer and closer to getting to his feet...

Cole: If Roode gets up, Michaels is going to kick his teeth down his throat!

Robert Roode makes it to a vertical base. As he does, Michaels locks and loads, preparing to deliver the final blow of this match. Roode turns around and Michaels makes his move. Michaels looks for the Superkick that has made him famous in this business...

King: Sweet Chin Music!

Before Michaels can deliver the patented Sweet Chin Music, Roode ducks under it. Michaels hits nothing but air. The Heartbreak Kid turns around and Robert Roode capitalizes on Michaels' miss. Roode grabs Michaels by the arm and drags him to the mat before placing Michaels' right arm between his legs...

Cole: Arm trap!

After locking Michaels' arm between his legs, Roode placed both arms over Michaels' head before locking hands, applying the Crossface submission hold...

King: Crossface!

Robert Roode has the Crossface applied in the center of the ring. This submission move affects so many parts of the body. One of those body parts is the arm. As Roode keeps the move applied, he also tears at the tendons in Michaels' arm. Shawn Michaels screams in pain as Roode continues to work on the arm that he's been assaulting all match. The official drops down in Michaels' face and asks him if he wants to quit. Shawn Michaels shakes his head no before trying to push himself off the canvas. Roode pulls back even more on Michaels' neck, which causes Michaels to fall chest first back onto the mat...

King: This doesn't look good for the Heartbreak Kid!

Shawn Michaels is back to square one. Roode continues to apply pressure to the Crossface and Michaels tries to push himself off the mat again. Michaels is able to get off his stomach and alleviate some of the pressure before using his left arm to push himself backwards and roll Robert Roode onto his back and shoulders for a pinfall...

1...

2...

Roode gets his shoulders off the mat!

Cole: Michaels was able to counter the Crossface!

In order to kick out, Robert Roode needed to break the Crossface. He's still firmly in control of this match as he gets back to his feet and Michaels remains on the mat. Michaels crawls away from Roode again to the near ropes and uses the middle one to get to a knee. From the other side of the ring, Robert Roode watches as Shawn Michaels struggles to stand. Roode makes his way over to Michaels, laughing at the Heartbreak Kid the entire time. Michaels is able to finally stand. Roode gets closer and closer, knowing that he's got this in the bag. As Roode gets close enough, Michaels is able to catch him off guard with a Superkick to the jaw!

King: Sweet Chin Music!

Roode falls backwards to the mat, but Shawn Michaels is unable to capitalize. He falls stomach first onto the canvas and both men lie motionless on the mat. The official has no choice but to begin to count both men out as the red hot Phoenix crowd looks to motivate Shawn Michaels…

Shawn Michaels crawls over to Roode and drapes his arm over Roode’s prone body…

Cole: That’s going to do it!

2…

3…NO! Robert Roode rolls a shoulder!

King: What?!

Shawn Michaels puts his head into his hands and wonders what does he have to do to put Robert Roode away. Michaels pushes himself to his feet and staggers to the far side of the ring. Robert Roode begins to move to the dismay of the Heartbreak Kid. As Roode gets to a knee, Michaels rushes over to him before kicking Roode in the stomach. This doubles Roode over and Michaels is able to put Roode’s head between his legs and hook both of Roode’s arms….

Cole: You don’t think?

King: Michaels is thinking Pedigree!

Before Michaels is able to execute the pedigree, Roode is able to grab Michaels by the right arm and perform an armdrag takedown. Roode brings Michaels to the canvas before locking Michaels’ right arm under Roode’s armpit and pulling backwards on it…

Cole: He got him! Fujiawara armbar!

Robert Roode has the same submission on Shawn Michaels that he had on Triple H. This move broke The Game’s arm and if Shawn Michaels isn’t careful, he may break is as well. Michaels screams in pain as Roode continues pulling back on Michaels’ right arm, looking for either a tap out or a broken arm. The official once again gets in Michaels’ face and asks him if he wants to quit, but Shawn Michaels refuses to surrender. Michaels begins to crawl towards the near ropes, hoping to break the hold. Roode will not release his grip as Michaels uses his one good arm to crawl towards the near ropes…

King: Michaels might want to think about tapping out! Roode will not hesitate to break his arm!

Michaels makes it just inches away from the ropes as Roode continues to lean back and contort Michaels’ arm in a manner in which it’s not supposed to go. Michaels uses his left arm and reaches out, finally grabbing hold of the ropes. Roode does not break the hold initially, so the referee begins the five count that lets Roode know that he will be disqualified if not breaking the hold upon five…

Roode breaks the hold!

Cole: Michaels may have broken the hold, but was the damage already done?

Roode gets back to his feet as Michaels wraps himself in the ropes. Michaels clutches at his arm, like Triple H just a few short weeks ago on Raw. Roode raises both arms in the air and holds his head high, basking in his moment…

Cole: The referee may need to think about calling this one?

Roode continues to gloat but what he doesn’t know is that Shawn Michaels is beginning to get to his feet…

King: Shawn is starting to get up!

Shawn pulls himself up in the corner and gets to his feet. As he does, Roode turns around and Michaels pushes himself out of the corner and delivers another Sweet Chin Music…

Cole: Down goes Roode!

An exhausted Shawn Michaels falls on top of Roode for a cover…

Justin Roberts: Here is your winner, “The Heartbreak Kidâ€￾ Shawn Michaels!

Cole: Michaels did it!

Michaels pushes himself to his feet and holds his arm tightly. He’s knocked off the man who broke his best friend’s arm. Michaels raises his good arm in victory before gingerly leaving the ring and heading to the back as the Royal Rumble event heads elsewhere.



The Rock:
The big question… would The Rock be here. Well you can bet your sweet patooty candy ass The Rock is gonna be here live. The Rock is gonna do everything necessary there is to ensure that the rightful man walks out the winner in this match. The match that should have happened long ago so we wouldn’t be here years later with him having a head bigger than Texas or whatever state we’re doing this thing in. Oh and don’t you start booing because The Rock chose not to say your state. The Rock does what The Rock wants and The Rock says what The Rock wants. And The Rock says that you allllll can pucker up, put some chapstick on your chapped lips, lick them, then put some more chap stick all over those things and kiss The Rock’s ass because The Rock isn’t about to allow some chapped lips come near him. And The Rock knows that hygiene isn’t a strong point of any of you here which is why it smells like some old cow patties that has been rolled around in fresh dog crap topped off with monkey piss.

But The Rock digresses and says… be ready. Be ready for the match of the century. The match of the year. The match of the lifetime. The Rock got that sucka to unretire for this match an The Rock is gonna put that roody poo back in the retirement home and show him he doesn’t belong in The Rock’s ring. And The Rock is going to show each and every single one of you why he wasn’t allowed to be in the rumble. Because as handedly The Rock is going to deal with this has been The Rock would have done to each and every single one of those people out there. Oh and C M Punky… The Rock heard your comment about The Rock coming in for a payday. Understand this… The Rock came back to take care of business. The Rock has more money than you will ever come across in a lifetime. The Rock doesn’t need a huge payday but instead only needs to restore his good name. The Rock would be more than willing to hand you your candy ass after he is done with Dinero but The Rock knows you would cower at the thought so… know your role and shut your mouth. You are in the presence of greatness and soon you will learn what respect is all about.



The Rock:
Damn The Rock looks good. He better not ruin this Hollywood face.

The scene opens with Austin Aries standing in his personal locker room. Thoughts are flying all over Aries' mind as tonight he's about to enter the most important match of his career.

"The Greatest Man That Ever Lived", Austin Aries:
Royal Rumble match. A match that truly is Royal. A match that made men into legends. A match that's here for men to enter and cement their legacies. Men have stepped into the ring and gave all they had for that one shot at greatness. Every single man that's ever been a part of the Royal Rumble match can tell you that once your theme song begins to play and you run down to the ring, there are no gimmicks needed, friendships are destroyed, the entire ring is covered in blood, sweat and tears. Once you enter the ring there's nothing on your mind. You don't think of your friends or family. The only thing you can think of is main eventing Wrestlemania. The only thing you can think of when you throw your opponent over the ropes and you see a big sign saying "Wrestlemania" above your head is being in the main event of Wrestlemania. Being in the main event of Wrestlemania is the ultimate goal for many men. Every single one of us was once sitting in front of a television watching Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior go at it thinking: "This is what I want to do." And tonight, UWF superstars get a shot at making their dream come true. Everybody is sitting somewhere in the back, putting on their wrestling gear thinking of a good strategy that will lead them to victory. Everybody is doing it. Everbody except one man...except me. Why? Because the question that's on my mind since I woke up this morning is not "How am I going to win the Royal Rumble?" The question that's on my mind is "Who am I going to face at Wrestlemania once I win the Royal Rumble match?"

People in the arena are not giving any reaction. They are just standing on their feet with their mouth closed, listening to Austin Aries.

I don't need the Royal Rumble match to have my one shot at greatness. I'm already great. And nobody ever gave me a shot at greatness. I had to make my ass off my entire life to prove that although I might not be a muscular big guy, I can be better than all the big guys you can think off combined. Nobody ever believed in me but now I'm the man who's the highlight of every single show he makes an appearance on and those people who doubted me are those fat guys who are still wearing their highschool football team jackets, have cheap wives, live in trailers and spend all their money in beer. Who's the one laughing now? Anyway...tonight is a big night for me but don't you think for one second that I need to win the Royal Rumble match. No, I don't need to. Because unlike guys like Curt Hawkins who spend the entire year sleeping and now they expect to win the Royal Rumble I am still improving myself although I don't have to. I'm doing so just so I can win titles and earn money. I'm not worried if people will remember me in fifty years from now because I'm damn sure they will! What I'm trying to say is that it doesn't matter if I win or lose because entering the Royal Rumble match is not the only ladder for me to use to climb to the top. Even if I lose tonight I won't keep my head down, I won't be waiting for people to set up a ladder for me to climb. I will set up my own ladder and climb it. It doesn't matter how long it'll take me but sooner or later I will be standing at the top.

The scene fades to black as Austin Aries takes off his shirt and begins preparing for his match.





Derrick Bateman
Ladies and gentlemen it is now time for the moment at least 1/10 of you has been waiting for. Episode 2 of

The Double Dragon's Lair!

Allow me to introduce my co-host and best friend in the whole world, Mr. Dirty Curty himself, Johnny Curtis!

Johnny Curtis
That's right folks, I'll be co-hosting the shit outta this thing!

Maxine
Language!

And that sexy mama's voice is none other than Maxine. Say hi Maxy.

Hello everyb-

Well let's start the show! Now the topic today has to be of course, the Royal Rumble. Now I'm in it and will be winning it but first off, there was quite a couple of, well mostly all of the people who thought they could just insult us. Us! Like we're some sort of joke. So now it's our turn to insult them! Who's first Curtis!?

Curt Hawkins.

Look at him, the party starter. Curt, I thought you were cool. But you decided to try and make fun of us also. How dare you.

Yeah and why didn't you invite us to the party? It was already underway when we got there. We were probably fashionably late though so it's okay. But that was some lame party man. It was just a bunch of half dressed dudes standing around. Was I the only one who knows that you're supposed to bring a girl?

Well hold on Curtis, let's not judge so quickly. Maybe he's into that sort of thing. He is pretty close with Reks. Hey do you guys role play? I only ask because Reks looks like a pirate every now and then.

A butt pirate

Moving on! You know one guy who really grinds my gears? Austin Aries.

More like Austin Fairy. You seen the way he tries so hard to look good? I just wake up everyday looking this damn amazing. Right babe?

Well you do make me shave your back and-

Right Babe!

Right Johnny!

He just makes me so mad.

Well yeah I'd be mad at someone who kicked my ass all over the ring.

Hey Maxine, how's that Diva's division you revived going?

Maxine's hand enters the frame and flicks off Derrick.

Austin Aries is just a doodoo head who does doodoo things. I hope he gets in at number 29 because I'm lasting till the end and I want to show everyone that I can outlast even the freshest of superstars.

But you know who else I hate? Christian. If he were by some miracle able to win the rumble, we heard that he won't challenge the NXT Champion. Now I know why. Obviously after my easy victory against Bully Ray, I'll be next in line for a title opportunity. I'll win that title and of course Christian won't want to get in the ring with me. He won't win but he's just letting everyone know that he's afraid of me.

Yeah he's afraid of both of us. But he or Austin won't be getting a title shot any time soon. Not If I have anything to do with it. I am the best wrestler on NXT-

Right behind me.

Or right before because I was chosen to be in the Royal Rumble and you weren't.

But I did beat you and Bully Ray so that kind of makes me better than both of you.

But I'm going to main event Wrestlemania.

Me too because I'll be champion.

Well maybe I won't pick you just so you won't be in the main event.

That'd be your best bet since I beat you already.

Is this really all you do?

The camera pans over to show Dean Ambrose standing in the doorway.

Jesus Christ not you again.

Don't take the lord's name in vein Derrick!

Dean Ambrose
You two are the worst excuses for entertainment I've ever seen. Tell me something, how many people actually watch this dumb show?

It's a really complicated algorithm-

Just shut up! You two are lucky that I'm busy competing for the World Heavyweight Championship instead of being in the Royal Rumble. I'd show every wannabe tough guy what it's like to get their asses kicked.

What are you even doing here?

You mean besides giving your show the biggest ratings on UWF.com history? It seems everyone around the building is talking about the Royal Rumble when they should be talking about Dean Ambrose. All the interviewers are off running around getting thoughts from all those involved. I figured you would have someone talking to you as well.

Uhh yeah, we already... we already got done with our interview.

Right well I'm taking over now. Ya' see, last week Jeff Hardy thought he could just send video messages to me and then when he finally decided to come out and face me in the ring, he just nitpicked whatever I said and then left. What kind of coward does that? Don't think I was done talking to you Jeff. I still got a lot to say and these idiots have given me the perfect platform. What makes you even begin to think you stand a chance against me? All you do is talk and you don't even manage to do that all to well. You claim to have been the face of Smackdown for the past couple of months and you have been. But Smackdown is now the third brand because of your face. You should really wipe that stupid face paint off because I think it's starting to mess with your brain.

I think it's actually pretty cool.

If this loser agrees with you, that's probably a bad sign Jeff. Most decorative champion my ass. Unless you count your stupid face paint. I've won more titles than anyone in UWF history and I plan on winning once more. You keep saying that I've failed to do what I set out to do and I don't know how many times I have to say it before it get's through to that skull I plan to crack of yours. I have never failed once. You say I've been chasing the same person for the past couple of months. I haven't chased anything. Daniel Bryan and YES keep getting in my way. I did something you couldn't do Jeff. I beat YES and captured their Tag Team Championships. You may think I've been playing second fiddle but like you said, the facts don't lie, I don't lose one on one. You can't coast any longer. I've been picking up your slack for the past month but now it's time to put up or shut up. We'll see what kind of man you really are Jeff.

Dean Ambrose walks out just as fast as he came in leaving Derrick, Johnny and Maxine left speechless.

We can cut that out right?

No Derrick we're live.

Oh, well... Who's next.

The Miz.

Oh I hate The Miz!

Yeah he's the worst!

He looks like a muppet? I swear I cut him in half and stuck my hand up his torso and moved his mouth with my hand, he wouldn't look any different.

Whoa dude...That's dark.

I can't help it. Can you believe he is the number one pick to win the Royal Rumble? He's a douche!

Sounds like someone's jealous.

Shut up Maxine!

Well I think it's about time to wrap up the show.

Good call bro. Tonight is the first step onto the road to Wrestlemania! We got a couple of surprises for you in store tonight. But until next time, don't forget to,

Unleash The Dragon!

Styles: Well up next is the NXT World Heavyweight Championship match between champion, Bully Ray and the challenger CM Punk.

Striker: There's been a lot of words said and the blood is beginning to boil over between these two Joey.

Styles: There certainly has, remember it was CM Punk who Bully Ray defeated to earn his Number One Contendership prior to becoming World Champion... it's taken CM Punk quite some time to get over that, but now he has a new edge and he believes it is now his time to become a World Champion once more here in UWF.


Christy Hemme: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!.


LOOK IN MY EYES!

''Cult of Personality' by Living Color hits the PA system and a mixed reaction is heard as CM Punk makes his way out from the back. CM Punk has a big smile on his face, he's excited and ready to go as he does his usual bend down on one knee and screams out loud "BEST IN THE WORLD" and he throws a punch in the air and walks backwards for moment. As CM Punk gets to ringside he walks up the steps and climbs up to the top turnbuckle and looks to the crowd as some fans are chanting his name. CM Punk hops off of the turnbuckle and walks the opposite side of the ring where he stands looking ahead to the ramp.

The NXT World Champion, Bully Ray makes his way onto the stage as "The Beaten Path" just gets into the guitar solo part. He starts pointing at random members of the audience and shouting obscene profanities to them as he marches towards the ring. Near the ring he looks at the camera as he gets his phone out. Walking past he says into the camera "Another title defence, another win, three in a row baby, hashtag BullyNation." looking mighty pleased with himself as he makes his way up the ring steps and in between the ropes. He stands in front of the ring ropes and with one hand raises the horns and with the other the coveted NXT Championship. He hands it over to the referee as he waits for the ring introductions.


Christy Hemme: The following contest is for the NXT Heavyweight Championship of the World. Introducing first, the challenger. From Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 228 pounds, CM Punk!.

The crowd give a largely positive reaction to the challenger as he smugly looks across at his opponent.

Christy Hemme: And the champion, from Hells Kitchen in New York City, New York. He weighs in tonight at 285 pounds... he is the reigning and defending NXT Heavyweight Champion of The World... Bully Ray!.

Bully Ray stares ahead at CM Punk with intent, an angry expression adorned on his face as CM Punk points to the title when the referee raises it into the air claiming it as his own already.

The bell sounds and as CM Punk takes off his merchandised t-shirt to throw to the crowd Bully Ray assaults him from behind. With his t-shirt pulled over his head CM Punk is battered over the head with right hands until he is dropped onto his knees. Bully Ray then rips the t-shirt off of CM Punk's and proceeds to pretend to blow his nose on the shirt before tossing it at ring announcer Christy Hemme much to her disgust and alarm. Bully Ray continuously clobbers CM Punk over the head with right hands forcing CM Punk against the ring ropes. Bully Ray forces CM Punk down onto the middle rope with his head dangling over it. Bully Ray then kneels down onto the back of Punk's neck choking the self proclaimed 'Best in The World' as he does so. The referee makes the count and Bully Ray breaks on the count of four. Bully then hits the opposite ropes before leaping into the air and down across the back of Punk who was laying prone on the ring rope, choking Punk once more on the middle rope.

Styles: Bully Ray starts the match off like we know he'll hope to continue it. Bullying Punk around, living up to his name.

Striker: He isn't NXT Champion without a reason Joey, he is a bully, he's brash, arrogant and forceful, a true reflection of what a champion should be.

Bully Ray stands on the outside and raises the horns in the air. Bully then turns around and goes to climb back onto the apron but CM Punk is waiting on him and Punk hits Bully this time with a right hand to the head before dropping Bully with a Roundhouse Kick to the temple knocking Bully Ray backwards onto the rim on the outside ring apron and eventually down onto the outside ring mats. Punk regains some composure as Bully Ray gets back to a vertical base on the outside. Just as Bully Ray does get onto his feet, Punk hits the ropes before diving through the middle ropes down onto Bully Ray but Bully Ray reverses, twisting Punk into the ringside barricade. Punk takes a hard hit off of the wall of the barricade as Bully Ray this time tries to regain some composure before he goes back after Punk. Bully grabs Punk and tosses him into the ring before rolling into the ring himself and going for a quick cover.

Punk rolls the shoulder out at the count of two.

Styles: Punk laying it all on the line so early into the match here and he paid the price and that could jeopardise his chance of becoming NXT Champion here tonight.

Bully Ray grabs Punk by his hair and raises him up and puts him in the corner before taking some steps back into the opposite corner. Bully Ray then measures Punk up before running and going for a Big Boot in the corner. Punk dodges however and Bully Ray gets himself hung up on the top rope. Punk grabs Bully around the head from behind and drops him with a Neckbreaker. Punk shakes off the cobwebs and uses the ring ropes to get back to his feet, failing to capitalize on the Neckbreaker he used to down Bully Ray as Bully Ray is already getting to his feet in the corner. Punk however sees an opportunity and gets to his feet and in one swift movement runs at and leaps into the air before hitting Bully Ray with the Shining Wizard in the corner. Punk wraps his arm around the head of Bully Ray and goes for the Bulldog out of the corner but Bully Ray reverses the move, dropping CM Punk behind him with a Belly to Back Suplex.

Styles: CM Punk going for his signature move there, but Bully Ray is decievingly smart and will have Punk well scouted ahead of this championship match-up.

Striker: CM Punk took yet another bad fall there on that Backdrop and continues to take more hits to the back and the back of the neck which will wear him down as this match continues.

Bully Ray covers Punk.

Punk kicks out. Bully Ray rolls off of Punk and gets back to his feet. and looks at the ring corner which CM Punk lies just off. Bully Ray then begins to climb really slowly, one rope at a time to the top rope where he precariously manoeuvres round to face Punk who he believes will still be laying prone on the mat. This isn't the case however as CM Punk is back on his feet and he falls against the ring ropes causing Bully Ray to lose his already faltering balance up on the top rope and crotch himself on the top turnbuckle. Punk then sets about climbing up the ropes himself, getting to the top rope before hitting Bully Ray with several right hands. Punk then yells 'BEST IN THE WORLD!' before leaping up, wrapping his legs around the head of Bully Ray and going for the Frankensteiner, however Bully Ray has different ideas and reverses, holding onto the ropes before using his considerable strength to pull CM Punk up onto his shoulders and leaps off of the second rope to slam Punk to the mat with a releasing Super Powerbomb!.

Styles: Oh my god!, CM Punk's risks yet again fail to pay off and he pays the price once more with that devastating Powerbomb from up on the second rope!.

Striker: I think Bully Ray is still reeling from being caught in that unfortunate position up on the top rope, otherwise he would've used the move from the top rope with a seated pin afterwards, increasing his chances of victory. Still though, these moves will take their toll on the challenger.

CM Punk is lying flat on the mat, spread out as Bully Ray is still reeling from being crotched. Bully Ray musters up enough courage to crawl over and cover Punk.

Punk rolls the shoulder out. Bully Ray is not to happy with Punk and yells at him 'STAY DOWN!'. Bully Ray then lashes out with some clenched fist shots to the forehead for which the referee admonishes him for. Bully Ray doesn't seem to phased however saying to the referee 'DQ me if ya want to!, I'm the champion!'. Bully Ray grabs at CM Punk and raises him up onto his feet before tossing him across the ring with an Irish Whip, Punk rebounds off of the ropes into the arms of Bully Ray who goes for a Samoan Drop, however Punk drops out behind him, Ray turns around into a open palmed right hand from Punk, followed by a left, followed by a spinning back fist. Punk then follows this up with a Roundhouse Kick to the side of the head and then a Urinagi, dropping Bully Ray to the mat before locking in a surprise Anaconda Vice!.

Striker: THE ANACONDA VICE!.

Styles: HE MAY HAVE HIM HERE!.

Punk has a crazed look in his eye as he pulls on the tied up head and neck of Bully Ray really locking in the hold. Bully Ray struggles in the hold but refuses to submit and lose his championship. Instead he begins to fade in the hold. He eventually fades to the point where the referee has to do the arm drop. The referee drops the arm once, no response, CM Punk pulls harder on the hold. The referee checks the arm again, and yet again no response from the champion. However on the third check Bully Ray pulls through making a fist before rolling over and jacking Punk onto his shoulders for a pinning opportunity.

1...


2...


Punk is forced to relinquish the hold in order to not be pinned and lose out on a championship victory. The crowd boo heavily as Punk fails to make Bully Ray submit, however the move has taken a lot out of the champion as he rolls out onto the outside ring apron underneath the ring ropes for safety before eventually slumping down onto the outside as Punk tries to get a hold of him, much to Punk and the capacity crowd's chagrin.

Styles: CM Punk was close to victory there and he knows it, he smells blood in the water!.

Striker: One passage of this match has swung it completely in Punk's favour, a complete one-eighty!.

Punk drops down and goes after Bully Ray. He grabs him by his head and hits it off of the ringside barricade, Punk then grabs Bully Ray and then Irish Whips him across the floor into the Steel Ring Steps. Bully Ray takes a really bad hit on the steps as Punk looks around with an ultra intense look on his face. Punk then rolls Bully Ray into the ring before heading up onto the top rope. He's looking for his signature Macho Man Elbow Drop. He points to the sky with both hands before leaping off the top rope but Bully Ray rolls out of the way. Punk crashes and burns again but Bully Ray is too beaten down to do anything about it. Bully eventually gets to his feet using the ropes in the corner, but Punk is already pretty much on his feet and sees Bully Ray getting up in the corner, he runs and goes for the Corner Shining Wizard, but Bully Ray manages to grab the referee who was checking on his condition and uses him as a human shield shoving him into an onrushing Punk, knocking the referee out for the time being.

Styles: The referee is down!, Bully Ray is going to cheat his way out of this one!.

CM Punk gets to his feet just as Bully Ray stands over him and kicks him straight between the legs. Punk crumples to the mat holding his nads as Bully Ray swaggers around the ring confidently. He raises the horns in the air and signals for the end. There's still no sign of a new referee or the current referee Jack Doan regaining consciousness. Bully Ray grabs Punk who is leaning over the ring ropes and drags him towards the centre of the ring where he slowly puts Punk into a Full Nelson hold. Bully Ray yells out 'BULLY BOMB!'... however mid-shout Punk throws his leg back, low-blowing Bully Ray who lets out a yelp mid-shout and relinquishes his hold on Punk allowing Punk to turn round and in a show of strength, hoist Bully Ray up onto his shoulders and in one deft movement drop him down across his knee with the Go To Sleep!. The crowd go wild, the referee is stirring as Punk shoots the half for the cover. The referee counts slowly.

...3!

Winner and NEW NXT World Heavyweight Champion: CM Punk!.

CM Punk is handed the NXT Championship as the crowd go crazy. He holds it aloft for all to see as he basks in his own glory.

Styles: CM Punk has done it!, he has beaten Bully Ray in an all so sweet fashion considering Bully Ray's last title defence!.

Striker: It's roll reversal for Bully Ray as it's a low blow which cost him the match rather than won him the match and what an impressive display from our new champion right there, CM Punk.

Punk goes to the top rope and holds the title high as we go elsewhere

Joey Styles: Well what a night we have in store for you but it has already been an amazing day here in Phoenix Arizona where earlier today we had our competition winners come here and go backstage and get to meet the UWF Superstars!

Matt Striker: What a day Joey and what a prize! It’s not every day you get to rub shoulders with the biggest superstars in the business! And I understand you were doing a bit of that yourself today?

Joey Styles: That’s right Matt, as part of the prize they got to come along for a Q&A session with the Must-see superstar, The Miz! And we can take a look at that interview now!

And with that the footage cuts to the interview earlier in the day where Joey Styles is sitting behind a table addressing the crowd

Joey Styles: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome, one of the participants in the Royal Rumble match, The Miz!!

The Miz enters from the side and receives a big welcome from the competition winners and, unsurprisingly makes the most of it lapping up the reaction

Before taking his seat he’s handed a mic by Joey Styles and immediately takes the opportunity to work the crowd for a cheap pop

The Miz: PHOENIX ARIZONA! Let me here ya!

There are plenty of whoops and cheers as The Miz prepares to take his seat alongside Joey Styles

The Miz: What? I gotta sit down now? Next to THIS guy?! (He gestures towards Joey Styles) Really?!

The crowd respond in kind as The Miz eventually sits down

Joey Styles: Well Miz we want to thank you first of all for taking the time to come out here today and answer a few questions we know you have a huge match tonight to prepare for so your time here is appreciated

The Miz: That’s no problem Joey, I’m intrigued actually. I mean, being the creator, director and presenter of Miz TV it’s usually me doing the interviewing, so today I’m on the other side of the microphone. Be aware I’ll be keeping mental notes on your performance throughout

Joey Styles: Okay, I’ll umm, keep that in mind. I'll kick off with the first question then we'll throw it out to the floor. Royal Rumble is tonight, you're in the match, are you ready?

The Miz: Joey I have never been more ready. I'll be honest after missing out on the NXT World Heavyweight Title at New Year's Revolution I was pretty low. It was a match I deserved to win and losing the way I did was tough to take. But I went home that night, looked in the mirror, remembered how I awesome I am, and picked myself up. I knew I had to get my head back in the game, then JBL announced that I'd be one of the NXT's picks for the Rumble match.

I dunno if you wanna call it fate or whatever but if I had won the title last month I'd have been defending it tonight against CM Punk, now that's a helluva match and it I'm not knocking it... but it's not the Royal Rumble. I've been given the opportunity to go up against the very best in the whole of the UWF and prove that I deserve to be counted amongst them. It's not often opportunities like that come along Joey and I'm gonna make damn sure I make the most of it. I fully intend to be basking in the glow of victory in the Valley of the Sun!

This bring some whoops and cheers from the assembled home town crowd

Joey Styles: You sound brimming with confidence Miz, let me now open the floor to our competition winners, who's got a question for The Miz

Lots of hands shoot up and Joey surveys the crowd for a few moments before pointing at in kid in the second row.

Joey Styles: You young man!

Kid: Miz, you say you're gonna win, but who else do you think is gonna be your main competition?

The Miz: Well I'm not sure if you guys have seen it by I'm on record as saying that I'm gonna have to go through Damien Sandow to win this match. He's smart, too damn smart for his own good, but I'm hoping tonight I can make him feel a little humility for once. Aside from him I think I may have upset Christian a little (he laughs). He's the first man in and I think I've managed to draw a big target on my chest for him to focus on, I wouldn't be surprised if we have a BIG say in how each other's Rumble will go. And then there's Curt Hawkins...

The mention of Curt's name draws cheers and clapping from the crowd. Miz smiles and then jokingly gestures at the crowd to simmer down

Okay, okay, he's not all THAT. Listen I've poked a little fun at Curt in the past but there's no denying he's a helluva competitor, not only that he's on a great run at the moment so I know I gotta be watching out for him in this match

Joey Styles points at a guy in the crowd inviting him to ask his question

Guy: Yeah, I wanna know, if you DONT win the match, what then, back to NXT with your tail between your legs?

The crowd boo the question, the smark laughs it up and The Miz once again asks the crowd to relax

The Miz: If I don't win, then next Wednesday everyone on NXT is in for a horrible night cause I will be, PISSED. OFF.

Before Joey can nominate someone else shouts out

Voice from the crowd: And what if you DO win tonight?!

The Miz: If I win tonight loyal viewers, I can promise you I am going right to the top of the pile. 2013 is the year of The Miz, and it starts, TONIGHT!

The assembled crowd cheer as the footage ends and we switch back to ringside

The feed goes backstage, where the camera is walking backstage as if looking for someone. Reaching someone with his back turned the camera keeps it’s distance while a voice is heard off screen.

Cameraman: C-Cody Rhodes…

The crowd in the arena boo as Cody turns around to the camera, a small smirk on his face.

Cody Rhodes: Oh, I thought they learned to stop sending you guys to me, they didn’t like it when I broke their little toys.

Cameraman: I was just sent here to get your thoughts on your Championship match tonight.

Cody Rhodes: Is that so? And where’s the guy with the mic that’s usually with you?

Cameraman: Well they didn’t-

Cody Rhodes: Oh so they can’t afford an announcer getting hurt, but a camera guy is expendable? See... that’s why I am the way I am, it truly opens your eyes to them when you realize what they think of you. Don’t worry; I won’t go…what’s that word people throw around when they talk about me? Crazy? Yeah that, I’m in far too good a mood to waste my time hurting you. So what was it you wanted?

Cameraman: Just, your thoughts on the match tonight.

Cody Rhodes: That’s right, see they always ask that, I mean It’s never how are you after your match, it’s never how is the banged up knee after being forced to wear a knee brace for months, it’s always, What do you think about Tonight. Frankly I’m in the best mood I’ve been in for a long long time. See Tonight, is the Royal Rumble. Do you know why I like it so much? Because it’s the greatest lie ever pulled over our business, The greatest night of hopes shattered. Every year 30 men wake up in the morning with the thoughts of Wrestlemania and the UWF Championship in their heads, and at the end of the night 29 dreams are snuffed out, but one goes on. Sadly, that only means he gets to dream a couple more months. Because if the winner dares go after this championship…

Rhodes flips the UWF Championships on his shoulder

Cody Rhodes: Well, they’ll find their dreams turn into nightmares soon enough. But it’s not “justâ€￾ That... Do you see this.

Rhodes turns and picks something up, turning around he holds up the old mask he wore.

Cody Rhodes: This is what I wore every day for oh so long…I wore this mask as a representation of the mask all those people wear over their hideous, disgusting looking faces. I wore it until I finally got this championship, but I still carry it around with me to remember why. See I debuted in UWA, and the mistakes of the people in charge caused my reign to crumble with the company. Then I came to UCW a couple days after their Wrestlemania, And after the things that happened there with my reign UWF Finally came around. But before Wrestlemania came around I was injured and because of that injury I was fired by a phone call and I saw Wrestlemania at home with a mask on my face while CM Punk the man who started the chain reaction to put it on defended the world title…My world title. Now look at me, I will finally make it to Wrestlemania, and I won’t make it in some multi man ladder match I’m making it with the UWF Championship. I got a little screw loose in the head, but it was all worth it because even though I’m not that same Dashing Cody Rhodes…This Cody Rhodes is fulfilling his destiny…and that…Well that puts a smile back on my face...

Cody turns his head done, but before he can go.

Cameraman: um…Cody you didn’t really answer the question…

Cody Rhodes: And what question was that?

Cameraman:…Your Thoughts…on tonight?

Cody turns back to him, a serious cold look on his face now.

Cody Rhodes: Last month I just beat John and let the small fish go. But he didn’t want to end things there, so instead… tonight, I end things for him. How’s that for thoughts?

Rhodes cracks his neck, the serious look on his face fading into a smirk turning around and leaving as you hear him start to laugh once he’s away.


We're backstage where we see Momma Benjamin and Shelton talking.

Shelton's Momma:

Shelton, I tried to helps you but you ain't listenin' to me boy! This is why you ain'ts got a match tonight! I tried to distract the damn referee for ya, I tried to helps ya 'cos it looked like Hawkie-boy was gon' beat you, whats wrong with ya Shelton? Ya not trainin' nor concentratin' hard 'nuff!

Now listen up boy and listen up re-e-e-e-eeeeeal good ai'ite? A loss ain't the end of the world, ya did disappoint Momma however but you're still ma baby boy at the end o' the day. Tonight we ain'ts got a match but I'm positive Brian Kendrick is around 'ere, after all it is a Pay-Per-View, everyone gots to be 'round, he ain't booked either, in fact nobody seens him! If Brian boy ain't 'ere then I ain't happy 'cos his ass needs a spankin'! Look next week on RAW, I'm positive yous got a match, I'm positive you gon' rise from the loss!

Shelton looks at Momma with his head down...

Shelton Benjamin:

Momma, you didn't need to distract in my match. I tried to tell you but you didn't listen... you allowed me to lose. The blame's on you Momma!

Shelton's Momma:

I'm a workhorse bein' stuck out the back doin' nothin', I could issue an open challenge but nobody's got time for that. Everyone's too focused about a stupid Royal Rumble! I don't even know why I'm here in the arena, I could have stayed at the gym... The gym here is filled with everyone usin' the equipment I need, but instead I'm standin' around doin' absolutely nothin'; ya know somethin' Momma... Maybe... Just maybe...

Shelton whispers in her ears...

Shelton then looks into the camera.

Shelton Benjamin:

Hehe, I'm comin'! I'm comin' one way or another; y'all be waitin' for me out there 'cos I'm gonna take somebody out!



JR: It’s now time for Smackdown’s contribution to the Royal Rumble Event, the World Heavyweight Championship. It’s time for Jeff Hardy versus Dean Ambrose!

Piper: This is what the World Heavyweight Championship has come to Ross? Guys like Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes and countless others have held that title. Now it’s going to be contested for by a spot monkey and a pyscho?

JR: No matter your personal preference Roddy, there’s no doubt that this match will see two of Smackdown’s brightest stars going at it for the richest prize in the business.

Lillian Garcia: The following match is shceduled for one fall and is for the World Heavyweight Championship. Introducing first, from Cincinatti, Ohio, weighing in at 225 pounds, he is one half of the UWF Tag Team Champions, Dean Ambrose!

Cause Really I'm A Psycho

[video=youtube;B8ehdkBucSc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8ehdkBucSc[/video]

The crazy ex-World Heavyweight Champion comes out to the ring to the biggest pop of the night so far. The sadistic Ambrose looks determined and angry, not a good combination for his opponent. Ambrose gets into the ring as quickly as he can before turning towards the crowd and the cameras to taunt. He then begins to lean on the ring ropes, smirking, but also watching around before taking off his jacket, and continuously rocking, waiting for the match to begin

[video=youtube_share;NPqrGGAwjHE]http://youtu.be/NPqrGGAwjHE[/video]

Lillian Garcia: And his opponent, from Cameron, North Carolina, weighing in at 225 pounds, he is the World Heavyweight Champion, Jeff Hardy!!

"No More Words" bursts through the arena and the whole of the arena get up on their feet with some already clapping the imminent arrival of the new World Heavyweight Champion. The glow off the belt is the first thing you see as Hardy walks out onto the stage As the belt is draped over his shoulder he looks fired up as he casually makes his way to the ring.

He wastes no time in sprinting to the ring and sliding inside, before picking his belt back up, running up the turnbuckle and showing the whole of Detroit his new possession.

He pops down off of the turnbuckle and his music stops. With the belt now draped across his shoulder he has a microphone passed to him and he wastes no time preparing for the bell.

The bell sounds and the World Heavyweight Championship Match is now underway. Dean Ambrose stands on one side of the ring and Jeff Hardy stands on the other. The Phoenix crowd gets to their feet, half chanting “Let’s go Hardyâ€￾ while the other half chant “Let’s go Ambrose. Champion and Challenger meet in the center of the ring before engaging in a collar and elbow tie up. It’s Hardy who strikes first, catching the Challenger off guard with a snap suplex. Ambrose’s back quickly hits the mat and Hardy floats over on top of Ambrose, looking to end this match quickly…

1…

2…

Ambrose kicks out!

Ambrose forces Hardy off him as he kicks out and the Champion gets back to his feet, resting on the far ropes as the Challenger gets to a knee. Ambrose stares a hole into Hardy as the Champion throws up the “hand gunzâ€￾ hand gesture which infuriates the Challenger. Ambrose rushes off his knee, charging at him and spearing him…

JR: There’s that aggressive side of Dean Ambrose!

As Ambrose spears Hardy, both men go through the middle rope and to the arena floor. Hardy’s head bounces hard off the floor as Ambrose dismounts the Champion. Ambrose grabs Hardy by the hair and lifts the fallen Champion to a knee before motioning to the fans near the ring barricade to move out of the way. The fans listen to their hero and Ambrose runs right at the barricade before tossing Hardy by the hair back first into the barrier. Hardy’s body hitting the barricade creates a large splat sound before he hits the floor again. Ambrose looks up at the referee, who’s count has reached six before sliding back into the ring under the bottom rope and right back out, breaking the count. Ambrose grabs Hardy by the hair again and lifts him to his feet before rolling him back into the ring. Jeff Hardy slowly rolls into the ring and Dean Ambrose soon follows him before going for another pinfall in this Championship contest…

1…

2…

Hardy kicks out!

After he kicks out, Hardy rolls over to the far side of the ring. Ambrose stays on Hardy heels and as Hardy gets to his feet in the corner, Ambrose goes on the attack again, lowering his head and driving his shoulder directly into Hardy’s stomach…

JR: Smart strategy by Dean Ambrose. Stay on the Champion, who loves to fly.

Piper: I don’t know who to root for Ross. I hate both of them so much!

All the breath leaves Hardy’s body as Ambrose pulls his shoulder back before driving it right back into Hardy’s stomach. The World Heavyweight Champion barely has any time to react before Ambrose pulls back and drives his shoulder into Hardy again. But the World Champion is ready for Ambrose this time and propels himself into the air as Ambrose tries to drive his shoulder in for the third time. As Ambrose’s shoulder misses Hardy, the Champion brings himself back down before wrapping both arms around Ambrose’s waist and surprising the Challenger with a sunset flip…

1…

2…

Ambrose kicks out!

Both men get to their feet and Ambrose swings at Hardy. Hardy sidesteps before grabbing the Challenger by the head and performing a sit-down jawbreaker that catches Ambrose off guard. A stunned Ambrose falls to the canvas as Hardy heads to the near corner of the ring. Hardy leaps off the canvas to the middle rope and poses for his fans…

JR: Jeff Hardy looking to take the match to the high rent district!

Hardy poses in traditional Hardy fashion for his “creatures of the nightâ€￾ before leaping off the middle rope and delivering a leg drop across Ambrose’s throat. The Challenger grabs his throat as he gasps for air and Hardy goes for a cover…

1…

2…

Ambrose rolls a shoulder!

Now it’s Ambrose who looks to get away from Hardy momentarily. The Challenger crawls to the corner and lifts himself to his feet, and now it’s the Champion who is on him. Hardy meets Ambrose with several kicks to the midsection. Each kick causes Ambrose to fall closer and closer to the canvas before he eventually ends up sitting in the corner. Hardy proceeds to take a few steps backwards before running back at his seated opponent before using the ropes to lift himself into the air and swinging his feet back at Ambrose’s face…

JR: Hardiac Arrest!

Piper: Ugh!

Before Jeff can hit the Hardiac Arrest, Dean Ambrose moves out of the corner and Hardy misses his target. As he misses, Hardy’s skull bounces off the canvas and he hits the mat. As Hardy lays on the mat, Ambrose takes advantage and goes for a cover…

1…

2…

Hardy rolls a shoulder!

JR: That was a bad landing by the World Champion; let’s see if he can recover!

Hardy rolls onto his stomach in an attempt to prevent Ambrose from covering him again. Ambrose forgoes another pinfall and instead mounts Hardy’s back before delivering stiff crossface forearms to Hardy’s face. First a left, followed by a right, followed by another left. Each shot connects with the Champion’s face and knocks Hardy for a loop…

JR: Dean Ambrose has constantly said that he uses his anger to his advantage; I think we’re seeing it right now!

As Ambrose concludes his sequence of beating on Hardy’s face, the Challenger comes up with a new strategy. Ambrose grabs both of Hardy’s legs before locking them up and raising Hardy’s arm over the Challenger’s shoulder, looking for the Regal Stretch…

Piper: Looks like the psycho might actually try and wrestle!

Before Ambrose can apply the submission hold, Hardy surprises him with a left jab to the face. This stuns Ambrose and allows Hardy to grab him by the head and perform a headlock takeover, now positioning Hardy on top of the Challenger. Ambrose’s shoulders just happen to rest on the canvas and the referee counts the Challenger down…

1…

2…

Ambrose rolls a shoulder!

Ambrose may have been able to roll a shoulder off the canvas, but Jeff Hardy does not release his grip on the Challenger’s skull. Hardy rises to his feet, bringing Ambrose along as well. The Challenger delivers a right hand to the Champion’s kidney before forcing Hardy onto the near ropes. Ambrose wraps his arms around Hardy’s waist before shooting the Champion off to the far ropes. Hardy runs the ropes and comes back at Ambrose before delivering a flying forearm that sends the Challenger to the canvas. Ambrose doesn’t stay down ling as he gets to his feet and Hardy hits him with a second forearm. Once again, Ambrose enters the mat but gets back to his feet. As he does, Hardy meets him with a kick to the gut. The Challenger catches the foot and seems to have Hardy where he wants him. This doesn’t last long as Hardy uses his free leg to push himself into the air and catch Ambrose with a reverse mule kick to the chest….

JR: Hardy’s momentum is picking up! He’s so dangerous when he gets going!

Ambrose drops to a knee as Hardy goes back on the attack. Hardy grabs Ambrose by the arm and throws it over his shoulder. Hardy hoists Ambrose off the canvas in a vertical suplex position…

Piper: Hardy’s got him up!

Hardy proceeds to drop Ambrose onto his stomach with a front suplex. Ambrose grabs his gut as it hits the canvas. He rolls over onto his back as Hardy makes his way to the near corner of the ring. Hardy exits the ring through the ropes before posing on the ring apron…

JR: Hardy might be thinking Swanton!

The World Heavyweight Champion climbs the top rope to the delight of his fans. As Hardy reaches the top, Dean Ambrose strikes him with a fist to the face. Hardy loses his balance and falls groin first onto the top turnbuckle. It doesn’t take Ambrose long to climb the ropes and meet Hardy at the top. The Challenger drives another right into Hardy’s skull before using his own head as a weapon, striking Hardy with a headbutt. This almost knocks Hardy off the top, but Ambrose holds onto him. Ambrose then throws Hardy’s arm over his shoulder before bringing both men off the top with a top rope superplex. The ring shakes upon impact and both men lay motionless as the fans get to their feet in approval…

JR: Jeff Hardy got the worst of that exchange, but both men are down!

With both men out on the mat, the referee begins his ten count…

Hardy kicks out!

JR: There’s still life left in the World Heavyweight Champion!

Ambrose rolls off of Hardy after the Champion somehow manages to kick out yet again. The Challenger gets to a knee, the seat dripping off his forehead. Ambrose turns his attention to Hardy, who has used the turnbuckle to get to his feet. Ambrose staggers over to Hardy and delivers a knee to the gut of the Champion. Ambrose follows this up by grabbing Hardy’s arm and Irish whipping the Champion to the opposing corner. As Hardy heads towards the far corner, the Champion is able to leap from the canvas to the top rope before performing a backwards corkscrew moonsault onto Ambrose, who was running after him….

JR: Whisper in The Wind!

Piper: I can’t believe this! Every time I think the spot monkey is out of it, he finds a way to come back!

JR: It’s called the will of a Champion Roddy!

After hitting one of his trademark moves and landing hard on top of Ambrose, The World Heavyweight Champion crawls over to his Challenger and covers him…

1…

2…

Ambrose rolls a shoulder!

JR: Let’s not cut the efforts of Dean Ambrose short either. He is showing why he is a former two time World Heavyweight Champion!

An exhausted Jeff Hardy staggers to his feet. He shakes his head in frustration as he watches Dean Ambrose begin trying to get to his feet as well. Hardy motions that this is the end of the match. As Ambrose makes it to his feet, Hardy catches him with a boot to the midsection. This doubles Ambrose over and Hardy hooks the head, calling for the Twist of Fate…

Piper: The Twist!

Hardy spins, looking for the Twist, but as he does, Ambrose pushes him in the back, breaking it up. Ambrose shoves Hardy so hard that the Champion is shot off to the ropes. Hardy comes back at Ambrose and the Challenger lfits Hardy off the canvas and attempts a swinging sideslam…

JR: Moxocity!

As Ambrose spins Hardy, looking for the Moxocity sideslam, the Champion is able to land on his feet. This catches Ambrose off guard and allows Hardy to hit him with a quick boot to the stomach. Hardy once again hooks the head and this time successfully connects with the Twist of Fate!

Piper: He hit it!

The World Heavyweight Champion just hit one of his best moves. The Challenger is out and Hardy calles for the end of the match. Hardy leaves the ring through the ropes and stands on the apron before removing his shirt to the delight of the females in attendance. Hardy climbs the top rope and throws up the gunz before leaping off and performing his infamous Swanton Bomb…

JR: Hardy’s going to Swanton his way to another World Champion retention!

Before Hardy can land on top of Ambrose, the Challenger manages to get his knees up and drive them directly into the Champion’s back. Hardy’s spine almost cracks as it hits Ambrose’s knees and the Champion rolls to the far side of the ring in obvious pain. Ambrose begins to get to his feet having outsmarted the Champion. Ambrose successfully makes it to a vertical base before watching the Champion on the far side of the ring. Hardy begins pulling himself to his feet, holding his back the entire way. Ambrose begins to gather his bearings as he watches Hardy before pantomiming a gun and pointing it directly at Hardy’s head….

Piper: This is not going to be good for Hardy!

Ambrose pulls the triiger on the faux gun before charging across the ring at Hardy. The World Champion barely has time to get to his feet before Ambrose hits him with the running knee known as the Knee Trembler. The knee catches Hardy right in the temple and the World Heavyweight Champion collapeses to the canvas….

JR: That was sick! Hardy might be out!

Dean Ambrose drags Hardy away from the ropes before covering the Champion, hooking both legs for good measure…

1….

Piper: Hardy’s out!

2…

JR: Will it be?

3….

JR: Bah God it is!

Lillian Garcia: Here is your winner and the NEW UWF World Heavyweight Champion, Dean Ambrose!

JR: Dean Ambrose is the new World Heavyweight Champion!

Ambrose’s theme music plays and the new World Heavyweight Champion gets to his feet, moving the hair out of his face before being handed his new Championship by the official. Ambrose stares at the Championship that he’s now held for the third time before hoisting it high in the air as the fans chant his name. Meanwhile, a defeated Jeff Hardy is beginning to come to and realizes exactly what’s just transpired. A dejected Jeff Hardy pushes himself to his feet and can only watch as Ambrose celebrates with the World Championship that used to belong to him.

Piper: I must admit, these two threw everything they had at each other. One hell of a match!

Hardy leaves the ring and allows Ambrose to have his moment. The new Champion continues to celebrate as the Royal Rumble heads elsewhere.



The Rated R European Champion Edge:
I’m a champ. I’m not holding my own mic. You better hold it and introduce me correctly.



Josh Matthews:
Ladies and Gentlemen I introduce to you… your Rated R European champion… Edge.

The Rated R European Champion Edge:
You forgot to add the soon to be Royal Rumble winner. Do it again.

Josh Matthews:
Okay. Ladies and Gentlemen. I introduce to you… your Rated R European Champion and soon to be Royal Rumble winner… Edge.

The Rated R European Champion Edge:
Better. Now point that camera on me and keep him out of the picture.



The Rated R European Champion Edge:
Now… this is to let all of you know… don’t worry about cheering for anybody else. Save your cheers for the end. Because when I come out I want to hear all of you cheer and chant for Edge. Your future winner, your leader, the one that all of you are here for. I mean really… who cares about all the other guys in there. They either old, ugly, or just plain uninteresting. At least with me you have a guy with charisma, looks, and is actually a champion. A real champion. A true champion. Your champion. And as your champion, as the champion of the people I will ensure that there will not be any such travesty as someone like The Miz walking out the winner or Eddie or Sandow or any of them. Especially not Rhino. Oh my goodness not Rhino. Although chances are is that he’ll eliminate himself cause he really isn’t that bright.

But this is your Rated R European Champion letting you know… that he does not want you to tire yourself out for any other match. None of the matches on the card matter except this one. With Trish and Umaga… I have the ultimate edge and there will be nobody that will come close to stopping me from doing the right thing. Doing the thing that is right for the business, right for the company, right for Canada, for Europe, for the US, for the world… me winning the Royal Rumble. This is what is going to save the world. Save the UWF. Save all of you. I was always seen as selfish and only looking out for myself but I ensure you that… that is not the case. And if I were a politician I would get so many applause right now haha.

All of you suck. But just know… I’m winning this thing. I am.

Edge turns and walks away.

The camera shows Curt Hawkins backstage in a suit, ready for the big night.

Curt Hawkins
Here it is. Now is the day. January the 20th, 2013. The date of the 2013 UWF Royal Rumble Match. Tonight history will be made as we see 30 men enter one match. 60 minutes long and in the end when all the smoke has cleared and the dust has settled one man will be at the top of the mountain. One man will stand as king of the hill. They will go through 29 other men. The top that this industry, this company, and this sport has to offer. Will it be me? Only time can tell. The clock of immortality is ticking and the Party is about to start. Soon this match will begin. My name will be drawn and I will march down to the ring, and I will sink or swim! This is must win for me! I will never get a chance like this again. A chance to rise up and grab the brass ring. To grab the brass ring and smash the glass ceiling that has been holding me back since day one in this company. I can see the other side and I like it. Fame. Power. Glory. Everything I've ever wanted is on the other side of this match. 29 men try to stop me from getting it but I will rise up! I will rise up and take what should be mine and that is a spot in history. Weather I enter 30th, 12th, even first, my determination to be the best and to win will send me to victory.

Hawkins stares into the camera with passionate eyes.

You can call it whatever you want. You can call it fate. You can call it destiny. You can call it luck. It doesn't matter and it's all the same to me. Because in the end it will simply be called great. Curt Hawkins wins the Royal Rumble. Tick tock, tick tock. Only a matter of time. 2013 will start with a bang...Now, I have to go get ready. See you all in the ring.

Hawkins walks off into the hallway.

Cole: Now it’s time for a match that’s months in the making. Way back at Survivor Series, Cody Rhodes defeated John Morrison under controversial circumstances to retain his UWF Championship. And ever since then, Morrison has vowed that he will take that Title away from the deranged Rhodes. Now, it’s time for Morrison to put up or shut up!

Justin Roberts: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the UWF Championship. Introducing first, the challenger, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 225 pounds; John Morrison!

[video=youtube;E34dPruVaAM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E34dPruVaAM&feature=player_embedded[/video]

The crowd are on their feet as John Morrison struts out onto the stage and poses on the stage, as the camera captures the moment in glorious slow motion.

Morrison then strides down the ramp, eying the arena around him. He climbs the steel steps and steps into the ring. Morrison saunters across the ring and clambers up onto the turnbuckle. He poses for the fans, as countless camera flashes go off before him. He steps down, and wanders over to the other corner of the ring.

Roberts: And his opponent, from Marrietta, Georgia, weighing in at 225 pounds; he is the reigning and defending UWF Champion; Cody Rhodes!

WHOA OH!!

[video=youtube;NG26EX2NhAg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG26EX2NhAg[/video]

"Only One Can Judge" starts playing and out walks the current UWF Champion; Cody Rhodes. He's wearing his long jacket and has the UWF Championship firmly in his hand. Rhodes marches down the ramp as the fans boo him. Rhodes ignores all things around him and only focuses on the task at hand; successfully defending his UWF Championship for the first time.

Rhodes makes it to the bottom of the ramp and climbs up the steel ramp before entering the ring. Rhodes holds up the Championship one more time before handing the title over to the timekeeper and awaiting the formal introductions.

The UWF Championship Match is set to begin. Rhodes and Morrison have grown to despise each other and as they close and closer to the center of the ring, they lock up. Morrison quickly grabs Rhodes’ head and applies a side headlock. Rhodes grabs the Challenger by the midsection and drags Morrison backwards to the near ring ropes. Rhodes then forces Morrison off him, by shooting the Challenger off to the far ropes. Morrison runs the ropes and comes back at the Champion, who delivers a stiff shoulder block. As Morrison goes to the canvas, Rhodes runs the side ropes before delivering an elevated knee drop right down on the Challenger’s throat. As Morrison grabs his throat, Rhodes goes for the first cover of this Championship match…

1…

Morrison kicks out!

As Morrison kicks out, Rhodes grabs him by the arm and lifts him to his feet. Rhodes applies a go behind hammerlock, positioning himself behind the Challenger. Rhodes wrenches on Morrison’s arm, looking to apply as much pressure as he can to it. Morrison does not allow Rhodes to keep the pressure on for long as the Challenger drops to a knee and performs an Oklahoma roll, breaking the Champion’s grip on his arm. The momentum sends Rhodes through the middle rope and to the outside….

King: Both men are going right at each other in the beginning of this contest!

Rhodes’ body splats on the arena floor and the Challenger decides to go right after the Champion. Morison shoves the official out of the way and as Rhodes starts getting to his feet, Morrison leaps over the top rope and lands hard on top of Rhodes will a plancha. Morrison takes Rhodes back down before getting back to his feet and grabbing the Champion by the head and throwing him back into the ring underneath the bottom rope. Morrison climbs onto the ring apron leaving his feet and using the ring ropes as a springboard and dropping both of his legs down across Rhodes’ throat. After crashing down hard on top of the Champion, Morrison goes for another cover…

1…

2…

Rhodes kicks out again!

Morrison gets back to his feet as Rhodes drags himself away from the Challenger. Rhodes crawls to the far turnbuckle before picking himself up to his feet. On the other side of the ring, Morrison prepares to go back on the attack as the Champion makes it to a vertical base. Morrison charges across the ring, looking for a Stinger Splash. At the last second, Rhodes moves out of the way and Morrison hits nothing but turnbuckle pad. The Champion is quick to act as he sneaks up behind Morrison and lifts the Challenger off his feet, looking for a back body drop. As Rhodes hoists Morrison up, the Challenger is able to use his momentum to roll through and land on his feet behind Rhodes. The Champion turns around and Morrison looks for a straight kick to the stomach. Rhodes blocks it by grabbing Morrison’s leg. Morrison tries to counter with an enziguiri, but the Champion sees it coming and ducks under it. Morrison misses and lands back first on the canvas, with Rhodes still holding onto his leg. Rhodes capitalizes soon; grabbing Morrison’s other leg and interlocking them before flipping his own body weight over Morrison’s body with a jackknife cover…

1…

2…

Morrison kicks out!

Cole: What an exchange!

Both men get to their feet at the same time and Rhodes looks for a clothesline. Morrison ducks under it and as Rhodes turns around, Morrison catches him right in the jaw with the Nitro Blast Superkick. The Champion goes down right underneath the near turnbuckle and the fans get to their feet as they know what Morrison has in mind. Morrison makes his way over to the turnbuckle before measuring the distance himself and Rhodes. After deducing that the distance is close enough, Morrison leaves his feet and uses the middle rope to propel himself into the air before performing the awe inspiring corkscrew moonsault known as Starship Pain…

King: Starship Pain!

Before Morrison can connect with Starship Pain, Rhodes moves out of the way and Morrison hits nothing but canvas. The Challenger grabs his chest as he hits the canvas and the Champion goes back on the attack. Rhodes quickly stacks Morrison onto his shoulders and covers the Champion before putting his feet on the ropes for extra leverage…

Cole: Look!

1…

2…

King: It’s Survivor Series all over again!

The referee sees Rhodes’ feet on the ropes and kicks them off, stopping his count…

Cole: Uh oh, Rhodes got caught red handed!

Rhodes gets to his feet and immediately gets in the referee’s face. Rhodes demands that the official does his job, while the official lets Rhodes know that the Champion was cheating. The official points to his shirt, letting Rhodes know who’s in charge of his bout, and just as the Champion is about to respond, the Challenger rolls him up from behind…

1…

2…

Rhodes kicks out

Both men get to their feet and Rhodes delivers a massive clothesline that almost decapitates Morrison. Rhodes looks back at the referee before grabbing the Champion by the hair and lifting him to a knee. Rhodes grabs Morrison’s arm and throws it over his shoulder before performing a snap suplex, bringing the Challenger back down to the canvas. Rhodes wastes no time floating over and going for another cover…

1…

2…

Morrison kicks out!

After Morrison kicks out again, Rhodes uses the near ropes to gain momentum before looking for another knee drop. Morrison is able to avoid this one by moving out of the way and Rhodes’ crashes knee first onto the canvas. The Challenger manages to get to his feet as Morrison sits on his knees. Morrison takes control of the match by striking Rhodes in the chest with a stiff roundhouse kick. The sound of Morrison’s boot hitting Rhodes’ chest echoes throughout the U.S Airways Center. Rhodes barely has time to recover as Morrison hits another roundhouse to the chest that sounds like it hurt more than the first. Rhodes clutches at his chest and as he does, Morrison cocks back and delivers a third roundhouse, this one connecting with Rhodes’ skull, almost knocking the Champion out…

Cole: Morrison may have just KO’d Rhodes!

As The Champion goes to the canvas, Morrison jumps on top of him and goes for a cover…

1…

2…

Rhodes rolls a shoulder!

King: Did he get him?

Cole: No! Rhodes barely kicked out!

An exhausted John Morrison gets to his feet and grabs the Champion by the neck, lifting him to a knee. Morrison wraps his arm around Rhodes’ neck before throwing his other arm in the air, calling his shot…

King: Could be time for the Moonlight Drive!

Before Morrison can attempt the Moonlight Drive finishing move, Rhodes is able to spin out and avoid it. Morrison charges at the Champion and Rhodes drops to a knee, giving himself position to lift Morrison onto his shoulders in position for the Alabama Slam…

Cole: Wait look!

Before Rhodes is able to hit the Alabama Slam, Morrison is able to crawl down the Champion’s back and sunset flip him to the canvas for another cover….

1…

2…

Rhodes kicks out!

King: These two know each other so well! They’ve been able to counter the other’s signature moves all match!

Both men get to their feet and Morrison looks for a clothesline. Rhodes ducks under before reaching back and grabbing Morrison by the neck, bringing the Challenger down with a reverse neckbreaker. As Morrison grabs his neck, the Champion floats over on top of the Challenger and again goes for a cover…

1…

2…

Morrison rolls a shoulder!

Rhodes slaps the mat out of frustration before getting back to his feet. Cody Rhodes has a changed look on his face. It’s a crazed look, but we know that Rhodes isn’t crazy, so let’s call it a look of anger. Rhodes takes a few steps backwards towards the far side of the ring and watches as John Morrison begins pushing himself to his feet. As Morrison rises, Rhodes runs right past him and towards the near ropes. Rhodes uses the ropes as a springboard before turning in midair…

Cole: Disaster Kick!?

As Rhodes sets up for the Disaster Kick, Morrison leaps in the air and delivers a standing dropkick to Rhodes’ chest, sending the Champion to the canvas. Morrison gets to his feet and looks around at the white hot Phoenix crowd who cheers for him the entire way. Morrison grabs Rhodes by the legs and drags him to the near corner…

King: Do it John! Finish him!

Morrison gets in front of the turnbuckle before leaving his feet and performing the corkscrew moonsault known as Starship Pain. This time, he lands down on top of Rhodes to the delight of all the fans in attendance…

Cole: He got him!

After hitting his trademark move, John Morrison hooks both legs of Cody Rhodes and prays for the best…

Cole: Oh My God! That’s one!

3…

King: We’ve got a new Champion!!

Roberts: Here is your winner and the NEW UWF Champion, John Morrison!!!

Cole: Morrison is the man on Tuesday nights!

John Morrison gets to his feet and has his arm risen by the official. The referee also brings Morrison his brand new UWF Championship title. Morrison looks deeply into the title before holding it up high in the air. John Morrison is finally the man in UWF.

Cole: What a night we’ve had so far. We’ve got three new World Champions and we’ve still got Dinero and Rock, not to mention the Royal Rumble Match.

John Morrison leaves the ring and begins heading to the back, never taking his eyes off his new World Championship. This is where the Royal Rumbles heads elsewhere.



The Rock:
What in the sam hill are you doin here… The Rock always has his own personal locker room to avoid being in places with people like you.


The Rated R European Champion Edge:
Whoa whoa hold up. Do you know who I am? I am the …


The Rock:
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO YOU ARE!


The Rated R European Champion Edge:
Oh yes it does… I’m The Rated R European Champion.


The Rock:
You want some English muffin for that? Or whatever it is those people over there eat. At least your teeth doesn’t look as bad as theirs. Really… The Rock was over there for a movie and The Rock had to look away constantly because it was… gross.


The Rated R European Champion Edge:
Oh yeah I know. I represent them… but I’m the best looking that a European will ever look even though I’m Canadian. But then again Canadians don’t look that well either. I mean have you seen… well wait wait… there is one Canadian that looks real good.


Both: Trish.

The Rock:
You do know she is still with The Rock. She is only managing you because The Rock is only retired. Otherwise she would still be here with The Rock. She’ll probably come out with The Rock for his match with Dinero.


The Rated R European Champion Edge:
Well since I’m not retired and am a champion that is why she is coming out with me to the Rumble. Because I’m going to be walking out of that thing the winner and main eventing this UWF WrestleMania. I’m going to do it. I’m going to take over and I’m going to show you and everyone else why I am the best in the business.


The Rock:
Hold on jabroni. There is only one best, only one great one. You are looking at him. The Rock. Know your role and…


The Rated R European Champion Edge:
Shut your mouth. Because I am. I’m the one here with a championship here. I’m the one coming in last in the Rumble. What are you doing? Fighting for pride? For respect? To regain your lost name? I’m fighting for a real cause. Besides I could beat Dinero with one hand tied behind my back while playing hopscotch. I’m the one with the difficult match. You got it easy. But then again you are getting a little up there in age. What are you now fifty?


The Rock:
The Rock should slap the taste out of your mouth. The Rock is the one with the real match. The Rock has to deal with someone that was actually a success. Who all do you have to deal with in the Rumble? Bateman? Who in the bluest of blue hell is that? Some reject Batman but since he didn’t wanna get sued by Warner Brothers and DC Comics he added an E to the name to say he is different? The Rock could walk in the Rumble blindfolded and win that thing without even lifting a finger. You enter The Rock’s match and you’d have your candy ass handed to you on a silver platter. But then again your one of those young bucks that think you can do it all. But The Rock is sure of one thing… you couldn’t beat The Rock.


The Rated R European Champion Edge:
I could handle you with ease. The only question is… what will you do after Trish leaves you for a real man.




The Rock:
Oh The Rock knows that your old stankin smellin dragon breath hotter than holy Hell is talking about Trish leaving The Rock for a real man when you can’t even hold on to one. You had Lita for what? A couple months, had Victoria for shorter than that. Trish would leave you in a split second for The Rock. That is something the people know. That is something you wouldn’t understand. Because simple minds that represent Europe can’t grasp that sort of thing. It goes over their head.


The Rated R European Champion Edge:
Oh we’ll see about that. Name the time and place and I’d whip you faster than I do those sorry guys in the Rumble. So good luck in your match with Dinero.


The Rock:
Yeah. And good luck in the Rumble. We’ll settle this.

Edge leaves the locker room

As the night progresses and the Royal Rumble looms closer, a random interviewer catches the Hispanic King of the Mountain and his ring announcer making their way to be seated in the VIP section.

Interviewer: Excuse me, Mr. Del Rio? Can I have a quick word with you?

Alberto smiles that charming smile of his: Si.

Interviewer: The internet is abuzz concerning your return tonight for the Royal Rumble. Is there any surprises we may expect; like you or Ricardo entering the Rumble?

Alberto Del Rio: Oh, no, no, no. Although it is true that I am cleared for competition after my rehibilitation, I will not, however, be participating in the Rumble. I will sadly be only a spectator.

Interviewer: And you, Ricardo?

The ring announcer just waves his hands and repeats no several times.

Interviewer: Ok, well how about the war of words that has arisen after your confrontation with Edge and his new faction just a few days ago?

Alberto Del Rio grins: Confrontation? You mean where I came out and put them on notice? Si, I was merely telling it like it is. The Reyes stick together, period. I have had runins with Edge before. I know what he's capable of. Jeffery is unfamiliar with his ways. I am simply going to stay close..just in case.

Interviewer: And Umaga?

Alberto Del Rio: Bringing the Samoan Bulldozer in is just an idiot move. I mean, it would be like Alberto Del Rio bringing in the Funkasaurus...

Alberto and Ricardo look at each other and break out laughing.

Alberto Del Rio: It is just stupido. These Rudos always bringing some monster in. I have fought the Big Show. Jeffery has beaten the Big Show recently. This UMAGA doesn't scare any of us. Now, if you'll excuse me, we must get to our seats.

Alberto and Ricardo make their way off screen.

Interviewer: Ok, back to the action!

Cole: It’s finally here King! Are you ready!? This is a match that most people thought they never would see! Once in a lifetime! Never before, never again; it’s time for D’Angelo Dinero versus The Rock!

Roberts: The following is the "Never Before, Never Again Match. Introducing first, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 265 pounds; The Rock!!

.....is cookin'

[video=youtube;dvyqn67m3io]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvyqn67m3io[/video]

The Hollywood theme music of The Great One begins to play and out he saunters onto the stage to a reaction of huge boos from the fans. The Rock doesn't care though. All he cares about is the task at hand. He walks down the ramp, talking trash the entire time. Rock soon reaches the bottom of the ramp before climbing the steel steps an onto the ring apron where he climbs the top turnbuckle and performs his trademark pose to boos from all the fans.

The Rock jumps down from the turnbuckle and waits for the match to start.

Roberts: And his opponent, from Harlem, New York, weighing in at 248 pounds, he is the Pope of professional wrestling, D'Angelo Dinero!

Aaahhhh!

[video=youtube;xs5J5GIT3DQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs5J5GIT3DQ[/video]

The primal scream fills the arena before "Catholi-Funk" hits. The stage soon fills up with gray smoke as everyone turns their head and awaits the arrival of a man who has not had a wrestling match in over a year. Soon enough, a silohuette can be spotted through the smoke. That is the man there, The Pope D'Angelo Dinero. Dinero walks through the smoke, one arm in front of the other, almost gliding onto the stage.

Dinero makes his way down the ramp, giving high fives to the members of his congregation in the front row. Dinero makes it halfway down the ramp before throwing both arms high into the air, signaling that it's time for the patented Dinero Drop. As the money falls, Dinero pumps himself up before sliding into the ring and using the ropes to pose one more time before the bell rings.

The bell sounds and this dream match is now underway. On one side of the ring, D’Angelo Dinero stands tall, his eyes never moving of his rival. While on the other, The Rock talks trash like only The Rock can. The two men both begin to walk towards the center of the ring, getting closer and closer to one another. The get nose to nose in the center of the ring and talk trash to one another…

King: It couldn’t be any more obvious that these two men do not like each other!

Soon enough, the talk stops and the action begins. Dinero is the first to go on the offensive, throwing a right hand directly into the face of The Rock. The right hands staggers The Rock, but he comes back and delivers a right of his own right into Dinero’s face. Dinero falls back and the two men exchange rights back and forth. Dinero first, followed by Rock, then another by Dinero. Dinero gets the upper hand, knocking Rock backwards and grabbing Rock by the arm before Irish whipping the Great One to the far ropes. Rock runs the ropes and comes back at Dinero, who delivers a running knee directly into Rock’s midsection. Rock grabs his ribs as he falls to the canvas and Dinero goes for the first cover of the match…

Rock kicks out!

As Rock kicks out, Dinero grabs him by the arm and drags Rock to his feet. Having full control of Rock’s arm, Dinero is able to perform a hammerlock, going behind his opponent. Rock counters by throwing a back elbow into Dinero’s face, causing Dinero’s grip to be broken. Dinero grabs his face and turns his back for just a spit second. This gives Rock the opening he needs and Rock turns Dinero around before delivering yet another right hand into Dinero’s face. The right knocks Dinero back into the near corner and Rock goes on the offensive. Rock holds Dinero in place before delivering a flurry of rights, before cocking back and spitting on his right hand, looking for the trademark spit punch. Dinero moves out of the way of the spit punch and Rock’s momentum drives him into the corner instead. Dinero now goes back on the attack, striking Rock in the chest with a knife-edge chop…

Cole: Dinero’s calling on his tutelage from the legendary Ric Flair!

Rock grabs his chest and Dinero quickly delivers another knife edge chop right to Rock’s chest. The air is driven out of Rock’s chest and he staggers out of the corner and Dinero grabs him by the arm and Irish whips Rock to the far ropes. Rock runs the ropes and comes back at Dinero, who lowers his head in anticipation for a back body drop. Rock is ready for it and counters by grabbing Dinero’s neck and spiking the former World Champion’s skull onto the mat with a DDT. The braided hair of the former Champion bounces off the mat and Rock floats over before going for a cover…

1…

2…

Dinero kicks out!

After kicking out, Dinero rolls over to the far side of the ring, looking to get away from The Rock. Dinero uses the far ropes to pull himself to his feet and The Rock goes back on the attack. Rock grabs Dinero by the arm and Irish whips Dinero to the far side of the ring. Dinero shoots off the ropes and as he comes back at his opponent, Rock looks for a clothesline. Dinero ducks under and runs the ropes that he was originally thrown off of. Rock turns around just in time to see Dinero leave his feet and perform a running Crossbody block, taking Rock to the canvas. Dinero remains on top of Rock and hooks both legs, going for a cover…

1…

2…

Rock kicks out!

Both men get to their feet and Dinero stays on the offense, looking for a mule kick to the stomach. Rock counters, catching Dinero’s leg before performing a dragon screw takedown, bringing Dinero to the mat…

King: That’s a good way to hyper extend a leg!

As Rock brings Dinero’s leg to the canvas, The Great One holds onto the leg as he stands tall over the Pope of professional wrestling. Rock grabs the other leg of Dinero before looking down and talking trash to Dinero…

Cole: Rock might be thinking Sharpshooter!

Talking trash may have backfired on The Great One because as he does, Dinero is able to reach up and grab Rock by the head, hooking it and rolling Rock up…

1…

2…

Rock kicks out!

Both men manage to get to their feet and Dinero swings wildly at Rock. Rock ducks under before lifting Dinero onto his shoulders and slamming the former World Champion onto the mat with a Samoan Drop. As Dinero’s back hits the mat, Rock reaches backwards with his back on Dinero and hooks the far leg…

Dinero grabs Rock by the arm, hooking it and pulling Rock backwards onto his shoulders, covering him…

Rock kicks out!

Cole: Dinero almost caught Rock napping there!

Dinero stagger back to his feet and The Rock isn’t too far behind. Dinero delivers another right hand to The Rock’s face, knocking The Rock down to a knee. A second right soon follows, followed by a third. Dinero then drops to his back and delivers a vicious pimp slap to the face of The Rock, knocking The Rock to the canvas…

King: The Pope just pimp slapped the taste out of The Rock’s mouth!

Dinero gets to his feet and The Rock staggers to a knee. Dinero uses the near ropes to build some momentum before charging at The Rock. As Dinero does, Rock is able to lower his head and lift Dinero off his feet and perform a high impact spinebuster…

Cole: Spine on the pine!

The Rock just hit the spinebuster. The People’s Champion gets to is feet before heading to the top of Dinero’s head. The Rock stands tall over Dinero, making sure that The Pope is lined up properly…

King: It may be time for the most electrifying move in ALL of entertainment!

The Rock stands all over Dinero before removing the armband and throwing it into the front row of fans. Rock throws his arms in trademark fashion before running the right set of ropes before leaping over Dinero and running the last set of ropes. As Rock runs the ropes, Dinero is able to kick up off the mat a la Rock fashion and as The Rock shoots himself off the left set of ropes, Dinero wraps both of his arms around Rock’s waist and throws Rock overhead with a belly to belly suplex…

Cole: Dinero just countered the People’s Elbow!

After countering one of the Rock’s trademark moves and hitting a huge move of his own, Dinero crawls over to The Rock and goes for a cover…

1…

2…

Rock rolls a shoulder!

After barely kicking out, The Rock rolls to the far corner of the ring and looks for something to help himself rise to his feet. Dinero picks himself up and backs away as Rock uses the turnbuckle ropes to get to his feet. Rock pulls himself up with his back to Dinero and as Rock rises to his feet, the eyes of D’Angelo Dinero light up. Dinero backs up to the corner opposing Rock before lowering his knee pads and preparing to put Rock away…

King: Rock felt this at Survivor Series! Will he feel it again?

Rock makes it all the way to his feet and Dinero rushes across the ring and leaves his feet, looking to drive his knees into Rock’s back…

Cole: D’Angelo Dinero Express!

At the last minute, The Rock moves out of the way and Dinero hits nothing but turnbuckle. Dinero’s knees strike the pad and Dinero falls to his back on the canvas. Meanwhile, The Rock is able to sidestep the Pope and as Dinero hits the mat, The Rock drops down into a coiled stance. As Dinero tries to pull himself to his feet, The Rock begins mouthing obscenities to his rival. Rock is raring to go and he watches on as D’Angelo Dinero begins pulling himself to his feet …

Cole: You have to know what The Rock is looking for!

Dinero gets to a vertical base and The Rock wastes no time spinning Dinero around before ducking under Dinero and hoisting Raw’s General Manager off the mat before powering him down with a ring shaking Rock Bottom!

King: Rock Bottom!

Rock hits his infamous trademark finishing move before resting down on top of Dinero and covering him…

1…

2…

Dinero gets a foot on the bottom rope!

The referee motions to Dinero’s foot on the rope and Rock looks at it angrily. The Rock gets off his feet and gets in the official’s face. The Rock tells the official that the match is over and he should be victorious right now. The official tells Rock that the foot was on the ropes and the match isn’t over yet. Rock feigns hitting the referee, and the ref covers up, feigning pain. The Rock chuckles at the official’s cowardice before turning his attention back to Dinero. As Rock turns around, he walks right into the General Manager of Raw leaving his feet and grabbing The Rock by the skull and driving it into Dinero’s knee with a Double Knee Facebuster…

Cole: The Coronation Facebuster from Dinero! That move has won him so many matches!

After hitting The Coronation, The Rock flops to the canvas and Dinero crawls to a cover, hooking both legs at the same time…

1…

2…

Rock kicks out!

After kicking out, Rock rolls out of the ring underneath the bottom rope and to the floor. Rock lies on the arena floor as Dinero lies on the canvas. Both men try and catch their breath as the referee begins counting The Rock out…

1…

2…

Cole: I’m not sure if Rock will be able to answer the count!

5…

6…

Rock picks himself up with help from the ring barricade!

Rock staggers back towards the ring…

9…

D’Angelo Dinero comes from out of nowhere and dives through the middle rope, taking The Rock down with a suicide dive to the outside…

King: Air Dinero!

Dinero takes The Great One down on the outside. After the high impact move, Dinero grabs Rock by the head and drags Rock to his feet before throwing him back into the ring. Dinero soon slides back in as well and covers Rock, hooking the far leg…

1…

2…

Rock rolls a shoulder!

Dinero runs his hands through his hair as he staggers back to his feet. Dinero walks over to the near corner before picking himself up off the canvas and to the middle rope…

Cole: What’s Dinero going to do now?

Dinero watches as Rock begins pulling himself to his feet. The Rock drops down to a knee thanks to all physical exhaustion that this match has caused. Rock picks himself back up and turns towards Dinero and The Pope leaps off the middle rope. As he does, Rock catches Dinero by the legs and takes him to the mat with a double leg takedown. Dinero hits the mat back first and Rock holds onto Dinero’s legs before splitting them and steeping through, applying the Sharpshooter submission hold…

King: Sharpshooter! Rock’s got the Sharpshooter!

Rock’s got the Sharpshooter locked in on D’Angelo Dinero. Both Rock and Dinero scream; Dinero out of pain and Rock out of intensity. Dinero tries to crawl towards the ropes, inch by inch, looking to break the submission holds. Dinero crawls and crawls and he gets closer to the ropes. After what seems like an eternity, Dinero reaches out and grabs hold of the bottom rope…

Cole: He made it!

Dinero’s grip on the ropes doesn’t last too long as The Rock drags him back to the center of the ring…

King: On no! This doesn’t look good for D’Angelo Dinero!

Dinero continues to scream as Rock continues to apply as much pressure to the Sharpshooter as he can. Rock sits down on Dinero’s back, preventing Dinero from going anywhere. The official drops down and asks Dinero if he wants to quit. The Raw General Manager will not submit and instead reaches backwards, clawing at Rock’s legs, trying to break Rock’s grip. Rock’s grip will not be broken that easily and Rock continues to keep the pressure on. Dinero comes up with another idea. He pushes himself up off the mat and instead of crawling towards the ropes, Dinero rolls clockwise onto his back…

Cole: Look at this!

Dinero rolls onto his back, forcing Rock to abandon the Sharpshooter and devolve the move into a leg lock of sorts. As Dinero lies on his back, he throws his arm up and catches Rock with an uppercut to the throat, breaking Rock’s grip on his legs…

King: Dinero managed to break the hold!

The uppercut staggers Rock backwards but doesn’t deter the Great One. Dinero still lies on his back and Rock makes his move, going right back after the Sharpshooter. As he does, Dinero is able to his lower leg strength to flip The Rock over with a Monkey Flip…

Cole: What a counter by Dinero!

Both men lie on the mat and the official begins counting both men out…

1…

2…

3…

4…

5…

6…

Dinero pulls himself up with help from the ropes, grabbing his back in pain!

7…

The Rock is right behind him.

Dinero staggers over to the Rock before lifting him up and powering him down with a scoop slam. Rock lands right underneath the turnbuckle and Dinero plans his next offensive move. Dinero takes a few steps backwards towards the center of the ring. Dinero runs towards the Rock before leaping over the People’s Champion and using the turnbuckle to propel himself into a headstand before dropping an elbow down on Rock’s chest…

Cole: The Outer Limitz Elbow Drop!

After landing down on top of Rock, Dinero remains on top of The Great One and cover him, hooking both legs to prevent Rock from getting them on the ropes…

1…

2…

Rock kicks out!

Dinero slaps the mat in anger. He pushes himself to his feet and looks down with a disgusted look at The Rock. The Great One reaches out to the ropes and pulls himself to his feet before throwing himself backwards into the corner. Dinero and Rock stare at each other and Rock staggers out of the corner and motions for Dinero to “Just Bring Itâ€￾…

King: And the defiance by The Rock continues!

The Rock motions for it and Dinero does indeed bring it. Dinero delivers another right hand that knocks Rock back onto the ropes. Dinero grabs Rock by the arm and Irish whips him to the far side of the ring. As Rock is shot off the ropes and comes back at Dinero, Rock leaves his feet and delivers a flying clothesline to the face of the Raw General Manager. Both men once again lie motionless on the canvas as they are both obviously spent from the match that they’ve had…

Cole: And we’re back to square one with both men down!

With both men down, the referee has no choice but to count them again!

1…

2…

3…

4…

5…

6…

7…

8…

Both men kick up from the mat and to their feet!

King: This late into the match, how do these two have the energy to do that?

As both men kick up to their feet, it’s Dinero who catches Rock with a kick to the stomach before dropping Rock with a DDT. Rock’s head bounces off the mat and Dinero picks himself back to his feet. As he does, Dinero goes and grabs one of Rock’s legs before Wooing for the fans in attendance…

Cole: You don’t think?

Dinero holds Rock’s leg before stepping over it and spinning around, grabbing the other one and applying the Figure Four Leglock…

King: Figure Four! Dinero going back to his Four Horsemen days!

D’Angelo Dinero keeps the Figure Four synched in on The Rock. The Rock screams in pain as he slaps the mat out of frustration. The official asks Rock if he wants to quit and Rock replies adamantly with a no. The Rock holds his arms into his face as the pain drives him to point of madness. The Rock will not quit though. Instead, he begins turning himself over, trying to reverse the pressure of the hold…

Cole: Rock’s trying to reverse the pressure!

Rock is successful in turning Dinero over onto his stomach, reversing the pressure of the Figure Four, putting it all on Dinero’s legs. The Pope screams in pain now and has no choice but to break the hold. Both men grab at their knees as they crawl away from each other. Dinero crawls to the far corner and pulls himself to his feet as The Rock tries to do the same on the far side of the ring. As Dinero gets to his feet, he turns his head and sees that Rock is pulling himself up and that Rock has his back to Dinero. Dinero wipes the sweat from his face before pulling the kneepads back down and running right at Rock. Dinero leaves his feet and as soon as Rock makes it to his feet, Dinero drives both knees into Rock’s back, this time successfully hitting the D’Angelo Dinero Express!

King: DDE! DDE! That’s it!

The Rock grabs his back as he falls to the mat. Dinero drags Rock away from the ropes and covers The Great One, hooking both legs as he looks for victory…

1…

2…

3..NO!!! The Rock kicks out!

Cole: No way!!

D’Angelo Dinero looks at the referee holding up only two fingers! Dinero cannot believe it. He runs his hands through his hair as he gets to his feet and the referee continues to tell Dinero that the count was only two. Dinero looks back at The Rock with a look of hatred on his face. The Rock has pushed Dinero to a point that Pope never thought that he could reach. Dinero shakes his head and begins to stalk The Rock. In similar Rock fashion, Dinero stalks Rock as The Great One finally begins staggering to his feet. Dinero grows impatient and before Rock can make it to a full vertical base, Dinero grabs his and ducks under, wrapping his arm around Rock’s chest in familiar fashion…

King: What?

It seems as if D’Angelo Dinero is going for The Rock Bottom. But before he can. Rock counters with elbows to the back of the head, causing Dinero to lose his grip on Rock. As he does, Dinero staggers away and The Rock is able to regroup and turns Dinero around befoe hoisting him up and hitting a Rock Bottom of his own…

Cole: Rock Bottom! Dinero got caught!

The ring shakes upon the thunderous Rock Bottom. An exhausted Rock doesn’t move, He just keeps his arm draped across Dinero’s chest and the referee drops down to count the cover…

1…

Cole: Is that it?

2…

3…

King: It’s over!

Justin Roberts: The winner of this match, The Rock!

The Rock’s theme music plays and The Rock has his arm raised by the referee. The Rock manages to stagger to his feet after the millions and millions of his fans cheer for both men. The Rock walks over to the turnbuckle and climbs the top rope, throwing his arm high into the air, embracing the moment.

Cole: In what may have been the most anticipated match of all time, The Rock walks out victorious!

Rock hops down from the top rope and leaves the ring in victory. Inside the ring, Dinero picks himself up to his feet and as Rock walks up the ramp and turns back towards the ring, both men exchange stares. Dinero nods his head in respect to Rock as Rock throws his arm up one more time and Royal Rumble heads elsewhere.

The feed goes to the tron, where a camera rolls through tables sitting outside in the day, the camera finds it’s target as the crowd watching in the arena boo as they see Damien Sandow taking a sip of a teacup. As he moves it down he looks at the camera

Damien Sandow:

Allow me to beg your indulgence for one moment, My name is Damien Sandow and I am here at this fine establishment to simply relax. And to those of you in the arena at this very moment confused, this is called a Pre-taped segment, So don’t wonder too much why it you are seeing me in this setting. With that said I am sure some of you may be asking why I am relaxing on such an important day like this one. And that is because I am intelligent, for at the time of this recording I am sure there are 29 superstars over training, exhausting themselves like never before in a vain attempt to convince themselves that tonight is their night. I however trained prior to today, I am prepared for this bout and I am not going to worry myself like those other men. Today I treat myself to a nice morning brunch, in the evening I arrive into my locker room and have my scribe Ignatius retrieve my number and prepare my gear. And Before my bout I perform the Farmer burns stomach flattener like I do every other bout, For I shall not be biting my nails in wondering what might occur. Tonight is not a night to worry, tonight is a night of celebration for tonight I achieve my greatest feat. And in doing so…

Sandow turns as a server steps up, Sandow says “yes pleaseâ€￾ as his cup is refilled. Damien then takes his glasses off and faces the camera once again

As I was saying, In doing so I take one step closer into bringing each and every one of you what you all so desperately yearn for. I bring the intellect this society has been missing for so long, the cure to the disease of incompetence that has plagued your minds for far too long. Bring enlightenment, so that you may no longer be shackled by the chains of ignorance. Tonight in the Royal Rumble Bout, I receive my championship opportunity, and the opportunity to impart my lessons upon you all without the hindrance of those who oppose my message preying upon your minds to deceive you. For I shall get the grandest stage to deliver my message from, and on said stage with the Worlds Heavyweight Championship hanging in the balance. I bring to all of you, your salvation.

Sandow smiles, lifting his cup and taking another sip from it before taking a deep breath.

You’re Welcome.

"Just Close Your Eyes" by Story Of The Year can be heard bellowing out of the arena's PA system, signalling the imminent arrival of Captain Charisma, Christian. Although many UWF fans can be seen singing along with the theme music, it's not due to their enjoyment of the arriving Christian, rather due to the fact they just enjoy the song. Just five to ten seconds after the commencement of his theme music, Christian emerges from the back sporting a smirk on his face as he looks around at the booing audience. Christian only momentarily stands on the stage before choosing to make his way down the ramp towards the ring.

Fans can be seen hurling abuse at the charismatic man, but Christian doesn't acknowledge the jeers whatsoever, as he is focused on his objective. Christian reaches the bottom of the ramp, rounds the corner and walks up the steel steps, before approaching the ring ropes. Christian walks along the ring apron, wipes his feet and enters the ring.

Justin Roberts: And the individual who drew number two…

Cole: Who is it?

[video=youtube;MXF3vviPp2k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXF3vviPp2k[/video]

Roberts: Representing Smackdown, “Theâ€￾ Brian Kendrick!

Kendrick’s theme music plays and Kendrick saunters out onto the stage before running down the ramp and sliding into the ring, getting directly into Christian’s face.

Christian and Kendrick lock up to start the Royal Rumble Match. Christian uses his superior strength to back Kendrick up onto the ropes before dropping to a knee and trying to flip Kendrick over the top to the floor...

Striker: Smart strategy by Captain Charisma! Eliminate your opposition early and use the remaining time to rest up!

Kendrick holds onto the top rope as Christian tries to flip him over. Despite all of Christian’s best efforts, he is unable to get Kendrick over the top. Kendrick uses his free leg to strike Christian in the face, causing Captain Charisma to drop Kendrick back onto the canvas. Christian turns his attention away from Kendrick momentarily, allowing Kendrick to go on the offensive. Kendrick runs at Christian, grabbing Captain Charisma by the head and performing a running bulldog, taking Christian face first to the canvas. As Christian’s head spikes the canvas, he rolls onto his back and stares at the lights as Kendrick mounts him and delivers a flurry of fists into Christian’s face. Kendrick uses the rapid fire fists to keep Christian at bay and the clock begins to tick down as our next entrant is soon to be revealed…

JR: Ten seconds until the third entrant of the Rumble comes on out!

Roberts: Representing NXT, “Long Island Iced Zâ€￾ Zack Ryder!

“Radioâ€￾ hits and the fans get to their feet in a collective pop as Long Island Iced Z Zack Ryder makes his way out onto the stage before running down the ramp and sliding into the ring. By this time, Kendrick has gotten off of Christian and awaits Ryder. Zack slides into the ring and before he can get to his feet, Kendrick pounces on him, attacking Zack with forearm shots to the back. As Ryder is being assaulted, Christian comes out of nowhere and grabs Kendrick by the hair, throwing him off Ryder. Christian then takes his shots at Ryder, delivering a shot to the midsection with his boot. Ryder balls up into the fetal position after Christian strikes directly into his ribcage and Captain Charisma soon turns his attention back to Kendrick. Kendrick tries to catch Christian off guard, but Christian catches him with a stiff short arm clothesline, which takes Kendrick down to the mat…

Striker: What a shot from Captain Charisma!

Cole: We’re still at an even playing ground so far! One man from each brand is in the ring and we have yet to have an elimination!

The clothesline almost takes Kendrick’s head off. Christian grabs the unorthodox Kendrick by the hair and picks him up to his feet before dragging him over to the ropes. Christian lifts Kendrick off his feet and tries to dump him over the top again…

Cole: It looks like I may have spoken too soon. Kendrick might be on his way out!

Brian Kendrick is halfway over the top rope. He is holding onto the bottom ring rope for dear life. Christian is relentless and continues to do everything he can to push Kendrick over. Unfortunately for Captain Charisma, he has his back turned and does not see Zack Ryder attack him from behind, clubbing him in the back of the head. This causes Christian to drop Kendrick and Smackdown’s participant lands onto the ring apron and rolls back into the ring…

JR: Just to clarify, Brian Kendrick is not eliminated. Remember, you must go over the top rope and both feet must hit the floor.

With Christian momentarily stunned, Zack Ryder is able to lift Captain Charisma off his feet and drop him onto his skull with a back body drop. Christian’s head bounces off the mat and Ryder gets to his feet before throwing his trademark fist into the air as the Phoenix crowd chants his trademark broski call…

Striker: That’s right! Woo Woo Woo!

Cole: Ryder can Woo all he wants, but the clock is ticking down.

Cole is right. As Ryder stands tall in the ring, the entrant clock reaches its final ten seconds.

Cole: What!

Roberts: “The Road Doggâ€￾ Jessie James!

The fans get to their feet and give a huge pop to The Road Dogg. Whether it’s nostalgia or sheer excitement, the roof almost flies off the arena. Road Dogg does some of his trademark dance moves on the stage before running into the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope. As he does, Zack Ryder looks for a clothesline, but Road Dogg ducks under it. Dogg turns Ryder around quickly before connecting with a quick jab. The shot knocks Ryder backwards and Road Dogg quickly hits him with another. Ryder is standing on spaghetti legs as Road Dogg does a little jig and deliver a right hand that sends Ryder to the mat…

Striker: Yes! A little Shake, Rattle N’ Roll!

Cole: Calm down Matt!

Striker: No, I’m making out bro!

After dropping Ryder with Shake, Rattle n’ Roll, Road Dogg uses the near ropes to gain momentum to come back at Ryder and look to deliver his stanky leg knee drop. But before he can, Christian comes from out of nowhere and delivers a standing dropkick to Road Dogg’s face, almost knocking Road Dogg out…

JR: Looks like the Road Dogg return didn’t last too long.

Christian get to his feet and slaps his chest, mocking the “peepsâ€￾ that choose to boo him. As he does, Brian Kendrick runs up from behind him and grabs him by the head, running towards the corner and making his way up each turnbuckle pad, looking for the Kendrick…

Cole: Kendrick looking for the Kendrick?

As Kendrick runs the turnbuckle pad and pushes himself into midair, Christian is able to shove Kendrick off him, breaking Kendrick’s grip on his head and sending Kendrick over the top rope and to the floor below…

JR: And there’s our first elimination!

Justin Roberts: “Theâ€￾ Brian Kendrick has been eliminated!

Christian talks trash as Kendrick hits the mat hard. Christian then motions with his hand that this is only the first person to fall at his feet. Captain Charisma continues to gloat until Zack Ryder and Road Dogg jump him from behind. Both men grab one of Christian’s legs and try to flip him over the top rope. Christian is aware of his ring presence and holds onto the bottom rope, saving himself for now. Realizing that Christian isn’t going anywhere, Road Dogg abandons his strategy and goes to attack Zack Ryder. Road Dogg connects with a right to Ryder’s face, breaking Ryder’s grip on Christian’s leg and causing Christian to fall onto the ring apron, saving himself from elimination. Ryder stumbles into the corner and Road Dogg goes after him. As Road Dogg beats on Zack Ryder, the countdown begins again and we are preparing for entrant number five…

Roberts: And the individual who drew number five…

JR: Now this guy’s got to be a favorite!

Roberts: Representing Raw, The United States Champion, Mister Antonio Cesaro!

Cesaro makes his way out onto the stage as the fans boo him. Tonight is not about the United States Championship and Cesaro knows it. He hustles down the ramp and slides into the ring, immediately going after Christian as Captain Charisma tries to get back to his feet. On the opposing side of the ring, Road Dogg Irish whips Ryder across to the far turnbuckle. Ryder counters and it’s Road Dogg who hits the turnbuckle instead. Ryder then charges at Road Dogg, hitting a stiff clothesline that knocks Road Dogg to the mat in the corner. Ryder gets that look on his face as he once again balls up his hand into a fist before charging at Road Dogg, washing his boot across Dogg’s face with the Broski boot!. The boot forces Dogg’s neck to snap backwards and it looks as if he’s out of it. Ryder doesn’t spend too much time celebrating as he turns his attention to the far side of the ring and sees that Antonio Cesaro has gotten the advantage over Christian and has Captain Charisma teetering over the top rope. Ryder makes his way over to the two Raw superstars and does what he can to help Cesaro send Christian over the top. Like earlier, Christian holds onto the bottom rope for dear life, trying to save himself. Zack Ryder drops to a knee doing everything he can to get Christian over. Ryder puts everything he can into forcing Christian out, but Christian comes back with a boot to Ryder’s chest, sending Ryder flying backwards. Cesaro watches as Ryder flies halfway across the ring and this momentarily lapse allows Christian to force himself back into the ring, Christian slithers backwards onto his feet but Cesaro jumps right on Christian as he gets back onto his feet. Cesaro delivers a European uppercut to the back of Christian’s head, causing Christian to drop to a knee. As Christian is forced to a knee, Zack Ryder goes after Cesaro, grabbing the United States Champion and lifting him overhead with a scoop slam. Ryder then uses the near ropes to gain momentum before dropping an elbow across Cesaro’s chest. As this transpires, Christian is still on a knee and Road Dogg comes up behind him and wraps his arm between Christian’s legs, lifting Captain Charisma off the mat, hitting a picture perfect Pumphandle Slam. As Christian’s body hits the mat, the titantron lights up and the countdown begins again…

Roberts: “The War Machineâ€￾ Rhino!

Rhino comes from out the back and makes his way down the ramp and into the ring. As Rhino slides into the ring, Cesaro tries mowing the big man down with a clothesline, but Rhino ducks under it and delivers a huge Gore to Zack Ryder, who was standing behind Cesaro. Rhino gets back to his feet and delivers another Gore, this time to Road Dogg Jessie James. The fans begin chanting â€￾Goreâ€￾ over and over as Rhino gets to his feet and quickly delivers a third Gore, this time to a rising Christian…

Cole: Rhino’s going to demolish everything in his way.

Rhino gets to his feet and looks at the carnage that he’s created. It’s only him and Antonio Cesaro standing at the moment. Cesaro looks to go on the attack, charging at Rhino. Rhino catches Cesaro as the Swiss Sensation charges in before wrapping both arms around Cesaro’s waist and slamming him with a belly to bell suplex. Rhino gets back to his feet and is the only man standing as the countdown clock begins to tick away again…

One of A Kind!

JR: Well I’ll be! It’s Mr. Pay Per View!

Rob Van Dam makes his way out onto the stage before running into the ring. Rhino tries to cut Van Dam off, but Van Dam catches him with a roundhouse to the chest. Rhino goes down and Van Dam stands tall over him before doing his trademark taunt. The fans chant along with Van Dam, but as he does, Road Dogg catches him with a right to the side of the head. Van Dam staggers backwards into the corner and Road Dogg goes right after him. Road Dogg meets Van Dam while Rhino and Ryder beat the hell out of each other on the far side of the ring. Christian soon goes to join Road Dogg in his assault on Van Dam and the two form a temporary team as they do everything they can to try and lift Van Dam over the top rope and send him to the floor…

Cole: It might be an early night for Mr. Pay-Per View!

Antonio Cesaro soon comes over and helps Road Dogg and Christian. All three men push on Van Dam, trying to get him over the top. Van Dam holds onto the top turnbuckle for dear life, trying not to be eliminated. As Van Dam’s elimination seems imminent, the countdown clock begins to tick down yet again…

Cole: Oh My!

Roberts: Rey Mysterio!

The masked daredevil known as Rey Mysterio is the next man to enter the Royal Rumble Match. Mysterio makes his way down the ramp before hopping onto the apron and delivering a springboard Crossbody block to Christian, Cesaro and Road Dogg, taking all three men out and helping Dam stave off elimination…

JR: And it looks like the justice league may be back together!

Bodies spill everywhere after Rey’s aerial assault. Christian and Cesaro crawl to one side of the ring as Van Dam and Mysterio stay on another. On the far side, NXT’s Rhino and Ryder stop fighting each other long enough to witness that brand loyalties have taken place in the early goings of this match. Rad Dogg stands in the center of the ring, not having a partner. Road Dogg’s head remains on a swivel until Van Dam and Mysterio charge out of their corner at Cesaro and Christian. The high flying athletes take the fight to The Swiss and the Canadian. While Raw and Smackdown fight it out, NXT’s Ryder and Rhino take the fight to the Road Dogg. Dogg tries to fight them off, but the numbers are too much. On the other side of the ring, Christian rests in the corner after fighting off the justice league. Van Dam runs right at Christian and leaps in the air, looking for a monkey flip. Christian is able to raps his arms around Van Dam’s legs, preventing Van Dam from flipping it over. Captain Charisma takes the counter a step further and holds onto Van Dam and shifts his ring position, resting Van Dam on the top rope. As Christian does this, the United States Champion comes out of nowhere and delivers a running bicycle kick to Van Dam, knocking Mr. Friday night off the top rope and to the floor below…

Roberts: Rob Van Dam has been eliminated!

JR: Damnit, Smackdown is now down two guys!

After the elimination of Van Dam, Cesaro and Christian exchange a handshake before Christian uses this opening to pull Cesaro in and deliver a snap DDT…

Striker: Christian’s never been known for working well with others!

On the other side of the ring, Ryder and Rhino continue to beat down on Road Dogg Jessie James. James tries to fight back, delivering a right hand to Ryder’s face before delivering another to Rhino. James fights his way out of the corner before delivering a double clothesline, taking both NXT superstars down. As Ryder, Rhino and Road Dogg lay on the mat, Rey Mysterio comes from out of nowhere and delivers a leg drop to the back of Ryder’s head. With three me on the mat and not in position to be eliminated, Christian turns his attention back to Rey Mysterio. With Mysterio’s back turned, Christian tries to gain the advantage by the grabbing Mysterio by the back of the head and tossing him over the top rope…

Cole: Mysterio is going to be eliminated!

Striker: No! Look!

Rey Mysterio was able to land on the ring apron, preventing himself from being eliminated. Christian momentarily turns his back away from Mysterio, thinking that he eliminated the high flying superstar.

Cole: Christian! Turn around!

Christian must have been able to hear Michael Cole, because he turns around and Mysterio uses the ropes as a springboard to launch himself into the air and take Christian down with a seated senton. Mysterio bounces off Christian’s head as Captain Charisma quickly gets back to his feet. Mysterio shoots himself off the near ropes as Christian looks for a clothesline. Mysterio ducks under Christian’s clothesline and runs the far ropes. Mysterio comes back at Christian before leaving his feet and wrapping his legs around Christian’s neck, performing a tilt-a-whirl neckbreaker, causing Christian’s body to shoot across the ring and for Captain Charisma to land head first onto the middle ring rope…

JR: That’s right Rey!

Striker: Mysterio may be thinking lost distance!

As Christian sits head first on the middle rope, Mysterio prepares to dial it up. Before Mysterio can gather momentum, Antonio Cesaro looks to clothesline the master of the 619. Mysterio uses his speed to duck under the clothesline before dropkicking Cesaro in the back, sending Cesaro head first onto the middle rope, right next to Christian…

Cole: It might be two calls for the price of one!

Mysterio calls for it again and uses the near ropes to gain momentum before running through the ropes near Cesaro and Christian performing the 619 directly to both men’s face. Both Christian and Cesaro are knocked back to the center of the ring as Mysterio stands on the apron and the countdown clock begins again…

JR: And here comes Smackdown’s franchise player!

The crowd gets to their feet as the Cenation Leader makes his way onto the stage. Cena looks directly into the camera before saying “I’m going to WrestleMania babyâ€￾ before running down the ramp and sliding into the ring just as Mysterio gets back into the ring himself. Mysterio and Cena stare into one another’s eyes…

Cole: There’s no love lost between Cena and Mysterio. Let’s not forget the Cena took the World Heavyweight Championship from Mysterio just a few months ago.

Before Cena and Mysterio can continue their rivalry, every other man in the Rumble match jump on the two of them. Christian, Cesaro and Rhino beat down Mysterio while Zack Ryder and Jesse James beat down Cena. Mysterio is forced to the corner while the three men continue to beat on him. Christian motions for all three men to back up before devising the plan to eliminate Mysterio. Rhino grabs Mysterio by the head and picks him to his feet before trying to dump the legendary cruiserweight over the top….

Cole: Mysterio might be next to go!

Rhino has Mysterio back first on the ropes and it seems as if Mysterio’s elimination is imminent. Mysterio wraps his legs around Rhino’s head and surprises the War Machine by flipping backwards and bringing him over the rope. Rhino is dumped to the floor as Mysterio lands safely on the apron…

Roberts: Rhino has been eliminated!

Cole: The underdog has eliminated The War Machine!

Mysterio rolls back into the ring as Cena and Christian duke it out. Christian gets the upper hand with a rake to the eyes right before Ryder comes from out of nowhere and delivers a Ruff Ryder to the Cenation Leader. Cena is down as the countdown clock begins ticking away…

JR: Business is about to pick up!

Roberts: Ryback!

As “Meat on The Tableâ€￾ plays, the beast known as Ryback makes his way out from the back. Everyone in the ring turns their attention to the monster running down the ramp and sliding into the ring. The first to try anything is Zack Ryder. Ryder tries to topple the beast known as Ryback, but Ryback swats him away like a fly. As he does, Ryback charges at Ryder and delivers a vicious Meat Hook clothesline, almost knocking Ryder out of his boots…

Cole: Did you see that!

Zack Ryder’s body goes limp and Ryder grabs him by the head before lifting him off the canvas and tossing him over the top rope and to the outside…

Roberts: Zack Ryder is eliminated!

After eliminating Ryder, Ryback turns his attention back to the competitors in the ring. They all look at this one man wrecking crew with uncertainty. The next man to try something is Rey Mysterio. Mysterio charges at Ryback and leaves his feet, looking for a hurricanarana. Ryback is so strong that he uses his upper body strength to block the attempted hurricanarana and powerbomb Mysterio to the canvas. Ryback holds onto Mysterio’s legs before lifting him up and powerbombing him again. The body of Rey Mysterio goes lifeless as Ryback hoists Mysterio up one more time in a powerbomb position before walking Mysterio over near the ropes and dumping him over the top and to the floor…

Roberts: Rey Mysterio has been eliminated!

JR: This Ryback is a freak of nature!

Striker: He’s hungry JR. Hungry for Championship gold!

Ryback turns his attention back to the remaining participants in the Rumble Match. As of right now, all that remains are Christian, Antonio Cesaro, John Cena, Ryback and Road Dogg. With Ryback standing on the far side of the ring, the other four men huddle together and try to come up with a strategy. They converge for several moments before breaking and all four stand in a line next to each other. The ring is silent for a moment until Christian screams “Get Himâ€￾ and they all charge at Ryback…

Cole: Look at this!

Everyone except Christian charges at the monster. Road Dogg is first and Ryback meets him with a big boot. Next is Cesaro, who attempts a Crossbody. Ryback catches Cesaro and tosses him backwards for a Fallaway Slam. And then there’s John Cena. He and Ryback get face to face as the clock begin to tick away…

Wade Barrett comes out onto the stage, dressed and ready to go. Barrett runs down the ramp and into the ring. As he slides in, both Ryback and Cena turn their attention to Barrett and deliver a double clothesline that sends Barrett over the top rope and to the arena floor…

Cole: What?

Roberts: Wade Barrett has been eliminated!

JR: It looks like Mister Barrett might want to find another way to get to WrestleMania!

With that distraction out of the way, Ryback and Cena once again focus on each other. As they do, the other three men converge on them. Cesaro and Christian jump Cena while Road Dogg tries to handle Ryback alone. Christian and Cesaro manage to do a good job keeping Cena down, but Road Dogg isn’t doing so hot. He knocks Ryback down to a knee with right hands and continues to beat on him, but it has no real effect on Ryback. Road Dogg continues throwing rights and left, but Ryback simply shoves Road Dogg away onto the ropes before getting to his feet and delivering a running Meat Hook clothesline that sends Road Dogg over the top and to the floor…

Roberts: “Road Doggâ€￾ Jessie James has been eliminated!

Striker: That machine known as Ryback continues to decimate opponents!

Ryback goes over to Cesaro and Christian and begins to help John Cena out. Ryback picks Cesaro off Cena before throwing him into the corner and delivers shoulder tackles directly into Cesaro’s midsection. As Ryback and Cesaro fight, Cena begins getting to his feet and slugging it out with Christian. Both set of athletes fight with one another as the clock begins ticking again…

Guerrero runs out onto the stage and into the ring. Guerrero heads over to Ryback, but sees the monster mauling Cesaro so decides to turn his attention to Christian and Cena. Christian has the momentum over Cena, beating Cena down in the corner, but Guerrero soon changes that with a dropkick to Christian’s back. This knocks Christian forward and allows Cena to dip down and lift Christian onto his shoulders…

JR: Cena may be thinking AA!

Cena staggers towards the ropes and tries to give Christian and Attitude Adjustment over the top and to the floor. Christian holds onto the ropes for dear life, trying to avoid being eliminated, but Cena is just too powerful. It looks as if Christian is about to go over when Eddie Guerrero comes from out of nowhere and delivers an enziguiri to Cena’s head, causing Cena to drop Christian on the canvas…

Cole: Why did Guerrero do that?

JR: It would seem that maybe Guerrero thinks Cena is more of a threat than Christian is?

After kicking Cena in the back of the head, Guerrero makes his way over to the other corner where Cesaro has gotten the upper hand on Ryback. Guerrero motions for Cesaro to let him have some of the monster and the Swiss Sensation complies. Cesaro Irish whips Ryback to Guerrero and Guerrero quickly kicks Ryback in the gut before grabbing Ryback’s arm and throwing it over his shoulder, performing a quick vertical suplex…

Roberts: Representing NXT, “The Greatest Man Who Ever Livedâ€￾, Austin Aries!

Austin Aries runs out the back and down the ramp as Hollywood Blonde plays. Aries slides into the ring and goes right after Christian. Christian barely had time to pull himself to his feet after Cena almost eliminated him before Aries delivers a running dropkick right to Christian’s chest. Christian drops to the mat and Aries goes after Cena, mounting Cena and delivering right hands to Cena’s face. As Cena is being pummeled by Aries, Antonio Cesaro and Eddie Guerrero engage one another with Cesaro catching Guerrero off guard with a European uppercut knocks Guerrero up against the ropes. Cesaro begins trying to push Guerrero over the top rope. But Guerrero will not go without a fight. Realizing this, Cesaro turns his head and screams at Aries to come help him. Aries makes his way over to the ropes and tries to lift Guerrero’s free leg over the top, but Eddie Guerrero will not go over. Guerrero begins to fight back, using his fists and throwing one into Cesaro’s face and then one into Aries’, causing both men to drop him and allowing Eddie to safely get both feet back onto the mat. Sadly for Aries and Cesaro, when Guerrero hit them in the face, it blinded them momentarily and allowed Ryback and Cena to take advantage. Ryback lifts Aries off the mat and onto his shoulders and Cena does the same thing for Cesaro. As they do this, the clock begins to tick again…

Roberts: Representing NXT, Derrick Bateman!

One half of the Modern Day Double Dragons runs down the ramp and slides into the ring. Bateman cautiously looks around for whomever looks like they’d be the easiest bone to pick and spots United States Champion Antonio Cesaro. Cesaro is fresh off the Attitude Adjustment from Cena and Bateman looks to take advantage. Bateman grabs Cesaro by the neck and drags him to his feet before trying to dump him over the top rope. As Bateman does everything he can to eliminate the United States Champion, Christian and Eddie Guerrero are fighting one another on the opposite side of the ring. The two of exchange right hands until Ryback comes out of nowhere and delivers a double clothesline to both men…

Cole: Ryback has been everywhere!

Ryback stands tall, but only momentarily as John Cena comes from out of nowhere and delivers a running shoulder tackle to Ryback, which sends the big man down. Ryback gets back to his feet and Cena delivers another shoulder tackle. The monster will not stay down and he gets back to his feet before attempting a Meat Hook clothesline on Cena. Cena ducks under and lifts Ryback off the mat before hitting a spinout powerbomb. Cena gets to his feet and throws his arm in the air, calling for the Five Knuckle Shuffle. But before Cena can deliver the big move, Derrick Bateman comes from out of nowhere and delivers a clothesline to Cena. The clothesline has minimal effect on Cena, so Bateman tries again. He looks to run off the near ropes but as he turns and runs, Antonio Cesaro is waiting for him and lowers a shoulder, jettisoning Bateman into the air and over the top rope to the floor…

Cole: So much for the Double Dragons! HA!

Roberts: Derrick Bateman has been eliminated!

Cesaro waves bye-bye to Bateman, but that turns out to be a mistake as Austin Aries comes from out of nowhere and springboard off the near ropes and delivers a dropkick to Cesaro’s face, sending the Champion to the canvas. Aries gets to his feet as the crowd boos him, but he is soon cut down by a vicious Spear from Christian. Christian gets back to his feet and eats a huge Meat Hook clothesline from Ryback. The monster then gets to his feet and screams “Feed Me Moreâ€￾ at the top of his lungs. His wish is soon granted as John Cena spins him around and hoists him onto his shoulders before hitting a huge Attitude Adjustment on Ryback…

Cole: There’s bodies everywhere!

Cena stands tall for a split second, but he seems to have forgotten about Eddie Guerrero. Guerrero sneaks up from behind Cena and grabs him by the jean shorts before running towards the ropes and throwing Cena over the top..

Roberts: John Cena has been eliminated!

JR: Eddie Guerrero just eliminated John Cena!

Guerrero looks around the ring with a smile on his face. Everyone else is down except him. Guerrero uses this moment to catch his breath, but it’s not going to last for long as the countdown begins again…

Roberts: Curt Hawkins!

Hawkins comes running down the ramp and slides into the ring, going right after Eddie Guerrero. Guerrero and Hawkins exchange right hands until Antonio Cesaro gets back to his feet and delivers a European uppercut to the back of Hawkins’ head. Hawkins falls to a knee and Guerrero delivers a low dropkick to Hawkins’ face. Hawkins’ body lies on the mat and Cesaro and Guerrero look to throw him out. Before their pan can come to fruition, Ryback enters the fray again and delivers a huge shoulder tackle that almost knocks Guerrero out of his boots. Ryback then turns his attention to Cesaro, who backs off from Ryback. Cesaro begs and pleads for Ryback to spare him. Cena backs himself up into a corner and has nowhere to go as Ryback stands tall over him…

Striker: It looks like the United States Champion is going to get his!

Just when it seems that Ryback is going to destroy Cesaro, Christian comes from behind Ryback and delivers a low blow, stopping the monster in his tracks. Ryback grabs his groin and his now defenseless. Cesaro takes advantage of this and grabs Ryback by the neck and throws hi over the top rope and to the floor…

Roberts: Ryback has been eliminated!

JR: That takes a lot of talent to eliminate a powerhouse like Ryback!

Cesaro talk trash to Ryback on the floor in five different languages. The United States Champion unfortunately took his eye off the ball yet again and as he’s talking trash, Curt Hawkins sneaks up from behind him and flips him over the top rope and to the arena floor…

Cole: No way!

Roberts: Antonio Cesaro has been eliminated!

On the outside, Cesaro cannot believe it. He stares up as Hawkins, who stares back at him. Cesaro mouth some words in one of his many languages at Hawkins, but Hawkins blows him off and looks to go back to the action. As Hawkins tries to walk away, he’s stopped. He looks down and Antonio Cesaro has grabbed hold of his ankles, preventing Hawkins from moving. Needless to say, this makes Hawkins a sitting duck. Eddie Guerrero comes and takes advantage of Hawkins’ predicament, clotheslining the Party Starter over the top rope and to the outside…

Roberts: Curt Hawkins has been eliminated!

JR: That’s some bull****! Cesaro just cost Curt Hawkins!

Hawkins lands on the outside right next to Cesaro and as the Party Starter gets up, he begins chasing the United States Champion to the back. As those two make their way up the ramp, the countdown begins again…

Roberts: Representing NXT, Brock Lesnar!

The Beast Brock Lesnar is the next entrant in the Royal Rumble Match! Lesnar quickly makes his way down the ramp and enters the ring. Eddie Guerrero is the first to get in his way, so Lesnar greets Guerrero with a massive running clothesline. Guerrero goes down and Lesnar turns his attention to Austin Aries. Lesnar delivers a knee directly into Aries’ midsection before lifting Aries high above his head…

Cole: Look at the strength!

Lesnar holds Aries high up in the air before dropping the former Undisputed Champion with a Gorilla Press Slam. Aries’ falls chest first onto the mat and the Beast looks for his next victim. He spots Christian. Christian tells the Beast to think about this as he backs away from Lesnar. Lesnar isn’t going to have any of this as he walks slowly towards Christian…

Cole: Come on Christian! You’re Raw’s best chance!

Christian tries to mount an offense, looking for a kick to the stomach, but Lesnar blocks it before pulling Christian in and delivering another clothesline. All three men are down and Lesnar stands tall as the clock ticks again…

Roberts: The Big Show!

JR: As if this match needed to get any bigger!

The mammoth Big Show enters the fray and Brock Lesnar turns his attention towards the big man. Show walks briskly, cause you know he’s not going to run down the ramp and into enters the ring. As soon as he does, Lesnar jumps all over him. Lesnar delivers clubbing blows to the big man’s back, but Show shoves him away like he’s nothing. Show fully enters the ring and grabs Lesnar by the head, delivering a massive headbutt to the Next Big Thing. Aries, Guerrero, and Christian all decide to stay on the borders of the ring and watch as these two big men tear each other apart. Big Show places Lesnar into the corner before shushing the crowd in order to deliver a huge chop to Lesnar’s chest…

JR: That’s got to be like having a frying pan hit you in the chest!

Lesnar staggers out of the corner and Big Show now picks him up in a similar fashion to how he picked up Austin Aries. Show seems ready to deliver another Gorilla Press Slam to the Next Big Thing when Aries, Christian and Guerrero now decide to get involved. As Show holds the near three hundred pound man high above his head, all three deliver synchronized dropkicks to the wide back of the Big Show. This causes Show to drop Lesnar and stagger towards the ropes. Lesnar manages to land on his feet and as Show turns around, Lesnar gets a full head of steam and clothesline both Show and himself over the top rope to the floor…

Roberts: Big Show and Brock Lesnar have been eliminated!

Inside the ring, Christian, Aries and Guerrero all look at each other, but soon the countdown begins on the titantron again…

The fans pop as Mister Anderson runs into the ring and heads right for Christian. Anderson backs Christian up with right hands into the corner as Guerrero and Aries’ truce has seemingly come to an end and they begin fighting one another as well. On one side of the ring, Anderson is in full control of Christian and on the other, Aries is in control of Guerrero. Anderson and Aries both look back at each other before Irish whipping their respective opponents towards the center of the ring. Christian and Guerrero are on a crash course to collide with one another and as they do, the both perform double clotheslines, taking each other out! Now that Guerrero and Christian are taken care of for the time being, Anderson and Aries lock up with one another, with Anderson getting the upper hand, forcing Aries onto the ropes. Anderson tries to lift Aries over the top, but Aries isn’t going just yet. That doesn’t stop Anderson from trying though and as he does, the clock begins counting down behind him…

Roberts: Darren Young has been eliminated!

Cole: Yes! Christian’s still going strong! He can win this whole thing!

JR: Christian has done a good job staying in this match after being the Number One entrant!

Christian pulls himself to his feet and Eddie Guerrero runs right at him. Christian again is smart and lowers his shoulder, lifting Guerrero into the air and over the top rope…

Striker: Guerrero’s gone too!

JR: No! Look!

Guerrero may have gone over the top, but he landed on the apron. As soon as Guerrero gathers his footing, Christian turns around and sees him before delivering a dropkick, knocking Guerrero off the apron and to the floor…

Cole: Here comes the man who won a hell of a match against Robert Roode earlier!

Shawn Michaels comes running down the ramp and sliding into the ring. Michaels goes right after Christian, taking Captain Charisma down with a Lou Thesz press. Michaels throws right hands into Christian’s face as Christian tries to cover up. In the far corner of the ring, Anderson is trying to toss Aries out yet again, but Aries holds onto the ropes. Anderson continues to push, but Aries catches him with a straight kick to the face. Anderson releases Aries and the Former Undisputed Champion lies on the ring apron momentarily before getting to his feet. Aries uses the ropes to springboard from the apron back into the ring and deliver a flying clothesline to Anderson’s head. Anderson goes down and Aries gets to his feet just in time to each Sweet Chin Music from Shawn Michaels…

JR: Bah God! Sweet Chin Music!

Aries hits the floor hard and Shawn Michaels turns around just in time to see Jeff Jarrett him with him with a knife edge chop. The chop knocks

Michaels back onto the ropes and Jarrett grabs Michaels by the arm and Irish whips him across the ring. Michaels runs the ropes and comes back at Jarrett before leaving his feet and hitting the Chosen One with a flying forearm. Jarrett goes down and as Michaels gets to his feet, he is met by Christian who grabs Michaels’ injured right arm and performs a jumping armbreaker, driving both of his knees into Michaels’ arm. ..

Cole: The already injured arm of Shawn Michaels!

“I Came to Playâ€￾ hits and the Miz comes running out of the back like a bat out of hell. He slides into the ring and Anderson meets him with a right hand. Miz blocks it and counters with a left jab of his own. The southpaw throws another, knocking Anderson back onto the rope before charging at the asshole from Green Bay, Wisconsin and sending him over the top with a huge clothesline…

Roberts: Mister Anderson has been eliminated!

JR: Look at The Miz! He’s filled with piss and vinegar.

Anderson goes over the top and Miz turns his attention to Shawn Michaels. The hurt veteran pulls himself to his feet and Miz meets him with a left jab that rocks Michaels’ jaw. Michaels staggers and Christian makes his way over to Miz to help him take care of the Heartbreak Kid. Miz hits Michaels with another jab, Christian follows that up with a right hand. Then both hit another respective punch, sending Michaels down for the count. Christian and Miz gloat until Jeff Jarrett comes back into the fray, taking Christian down with a running Crossbody. As Jarrett gets to his feet, Miz grabs him by the trunks and tries to toss him over the top. Jarrett flies over the ropes but manages to land on toe apron before delivering a shot to Miz.

Trish Stratus walks out from the back and all eyes turn to her. Stratus claps her hands in appreciation of the effort that these men have given…

Striker: Is Trish Stratus going to compete in the Royal Rumble?

Trish begins stretching, making sure that her limbs are nicely and loose. All the teenagers in attendance just went through puberty at the sight of Ms. Stratus bouncing around, her perky assets all over the place. Trish stops her warm up and points to the back, motioning for the real number twenty-three entrant to enter…

Cole: Oh My!

Striker: It’s the Samoan Bulldozer!

Umaga walks down into the ring and all attention turns towards him. As soon as Umaga enters the ring, Michaels tries to fight him off, but Umaga is too strong. Umaga shoves Michaels away, shooting him off to the far ropes before lifting Michaels high in the air and performing a sit-down spinebuster on the Icon. Christian is next to try and stop Umaga, but the Samoan Bulldozer cuts him off with a Superkick to the jaw. Christian goes down just as Miz charges towards Umaga. Umaga cuts Miz off by grabbing him by the throat and raising his right hand in the air…

Cole: Oh No! This won’t be good for Miz!

Umaga acts quickly, hitting Miz with the Samoan Spike. Umaga looks around the ring, he has taken out three men in one minute. Everyone is down as Trish cheers Umaga on from the outside. As she does, the titantron lights up and the countdown begins again…

Rollins runs down the ramp and climbs onto the apron before leaping on the ropes, using them as a springboard, hoping to catch Umaga off guard. Sadly for Rollins, Umaga is ready for him and as Rollins hangs in midair, Umaga catches him before dropping backwards with a Samoan Drop…

Striker: The sheer strength of this monster is unbelievable!

Umaga has just laid waste to another man. He’s not done with Rollins just yet though. Umaga grabs the limp Rollins by the arm and drags him to the near corner. Umaga makes sure that Rollins’ head rests perfectly on the bottom turnbuckle pad before taking a few steps back towards the center of the ring…

JR: I know what’s coming next!

Umaga runs back at the corner before turning around and driving his backside directly into Rollins’ head. The neck of NXT’s Purveyor of Poison snaps
back and he goes limp in the canvas. Umaga grabs Rollins by the head and lifts him to his feet before running at the far ropes and tossing Rollins over the top and to the outside…

Roberts: Seth Rollins has been eliminated!

As Umaga eliminates Rollins, Christian sneaks up from behind Umaga and tries to push him over the top rope. Christian has been I this match so long and Umaga is so strong that Christian’s efforts barely go noticed. That is until Shawn Michaels comes over as well and tries getting Umaga over the top. Now, the big man is actually forced off his feet and starts teetering on the top rope…

Cole: Look at this!

Soon enough, The Miz gets involved and begins pushing as well. Umaga goes over the top, but there’s not enough behind the push to get him to the floor. As Miz, Christian and Michaels push on Umaga, the countdown begins again…

Daniels runs down the ramp and slides into the ring. Daniels goes after Christian, evening the numbers. Daniels tackles Christian, him to the canvas. Daniels delivers right hands to Christian’s head before grabbing him and bringing him to his feet. Daniels takes Christian by the head and tosses him over the top rope. Christian flies over the top, but lands on the ring apron. Daniels doesn’t see Christian land on the apron as he turns his back and goes over to Robert Roode. Roode continues to beat on Miz, but Daniels quickly spins Roode around and delivers a step up enziguiri that sends Roode to the canvas...

Roode falls to the mat as Miz pulls himself up to his feet.

Miz begins to pull himself to his feet and Edge and Sandow begin to assault the remaining NXT Superstar in the match. Out of the three, Miz has been in the match the longest and he’s hurting. Sandow and Edge stomp away at Miz before Edge tells Sandow that it’s time to get rid of Miz. Sandow concurs and Sandow grabs Miz by the head and tries throwing him headfirst out of the ring. Miz holds onto the bottom rope, managing to stay in the ring. Edge picks at Miz’s hands, trying to break his grip on the ropes. Miz does everything that he can to hold onto the ropes and is successful until leg delivers a low dropkick to Miz’s hands, breaking the grip that Miz had on them.

Edge manages to save himself by landing on the ring apron and rolling back into the ring. As Edge lies on the mat, Miz manages to get back to his feet and delivers a stiff clothesline to Sandow’s chest, knocking Sandow to the mat. Miz stands tall as both men lie on the canvas. Miz gets himself into position, throwing his arms behind his back, looking to deliver the Skull Crushing Finale. He’s just waiting for either Damien Sandow or Edge to get to their feet. Sandow is the first to stagger, but Edge isn’t too far behind. Edge manages to make it to his feet first and Miz locks in the half nelson…

Cole: Another Skull Crushing Finale! Awesome!

Before Miz can deliver the Skull Crushing Finale, Edge drops to a knee and grabs Miz by the arm before performing an arm drag, tossing Miz over his shoulder near the ropes. Miz grabs hold of the ropes and gets to his feet. Edge gets up as well and charges at Miz. Miz is able to lower his shoulder and sends Edge flying over the top rope and to the floor…

Cole: Oh My!

Striker: We’re down to two! We’re down to two! Either The Miz or Damien Sandow is going to WrestleMania!

As the air is driven out of Miz’s lungs, the must see NXT Superstar staggers out of the corner and into the waiting arms of Sandow who snaps off a beautiful powerslam. Miz hits the canvas hard as Sandow uses the near ropes to gain momentum before delivering the elbow of disdain. Sandow gets to his feet before telling all the fans “You’re Welcomeâ€￾…

Cole: Seems like only a matter of time before Sandow stamps his ticket and goes to the Main Event of WrestleMania!

Sandow points to the outside of the ring before telling all of the fans that this is over. He grabs Miz by the neck and picks him up to his feet. Sandow the grabs Miz by the waist and throws him on his shoulders. Sandow turns towards the near ropes and runs at them, looking to dump Miz over.

Delighted to be given the opportunity to be a world champion once again. It's a great honour.

Congrats to the other big winners of the night; Capt Bumout, Shawn & Big Apple. All very deserving of big opportunities.

Re: UWF Proudly Presents: The Royal Rumble!

Well.... what a show. Usually I start at the beginning and work my way through the show that way but something tells me I'd be better doing it the other way this time!

Wow, I'm honestly so happy to have won the Rumble match. I thought I gave a pretty good showing in the thread, but it wasn't until The Miz's name started popping up in the predictions thread that I started to believe I might actually do it. And what can I say, against the level of competition in the match I'm proud to have come out on top. The rumble match itself was unbelievable, and I'd been saying that no matter the result. CWalker that was a helluva an effort man. It was a great piece of writing, you managed to get increasing tension as it went on and I almost marked out with Austin's video hit! I also like a couple of the feuds we saw evolve, Cesaro and Hawkins, Roode and HBK, looking forward to the fallout. I understand the importance of winning this match and I'll make sure not to waste the opportunity.

I think if any of us are struggling to find the motivation to TT or do a promo any time soon we should just go read the Rumble match again and realise how easy it is to knock out a TT of a few hundred words as opposed to a match of tens of thousands words! Well done again CWalker, and that's for putting in the effort.

Saying that we got loads of great promos too, everyone put in a load of effort and it showed. Definitely the best PPV I've seen in my time here. I'll echo Don Draper's words by also saying congrats to him, Shawn and Cap'n Burnout

Wow that was a helluva a show. All three major championships changed hands. It'll be interesting to see who The Miz picks as his opponent. That is if we can all defend our respective championships. I don't have a very good track record but I will try my hardest. Speaking of me, I'm honored once again to become the World Heavyweight Champion. Lewb has been a great champion thus far and I hope that I can at least match him in quality. The match in itself was very satisfying. Good back and forth action and there was no real resting points. Full on action and I hope to fight Hardy again.

Congrats go out to DOD and Shawn as well for their respective wins. Definitely all hard fought and you guys deserve it.

Lots and lots of promos on this show which is good. Everyone wanted to win the Royal Rumble and it showed. Congrats to all the other winners like Dresdon retaining with Sting and Slim getting a huge win over CWalker.

The Rumble match was fantastic. Does anybody play Ryback? I thought it was a bit odd that he eliminated a lot of people rather then give those eliminations to others but that's my only real problem with the match. The Haas-tin bit was pretty great. Good reason for the Christian elimination and he was looking beast throughout that match. Congrats go out to BGA for his huge win.

This was an awesome PPV CWalker and you deserve a good break after all this but as always I look forward to the future of UWF

Re: UWF Proudly Presents: The Royal Rumble!

Hahaha omfg that rumble was legit fun to read. First off awesome to see Rey make a cameo appearance. No guys I am not Rey Mysterio, but the best part had to be Stone Cold Steve Hasstin. That was pure greatness right there. I loved it, loved every minute. I mean I truly marked out for Stone Cold. Then it turned out to be Haas amazing stuff. I wonder if Chriss picked up James Storm? Should be interesting.

Big congrats to my buddy Shawn winning the NXT title awesome work my friend, oh and you also beat me, but I think winning the NXT title is more awesome! Congrats Bumout, and DOD as well. Sucks to see some people's title reigns have to end, but hey we all can't be winners. Never before never again delivered, and I loved this show. The Rumble is my favorite E-Fed match ever due to its craziness and fun!

Re: UWF Proudly Presents: The Royal Rumble!

Right now I'm lost for words and before I get to the whole show as a whole I think I deserve this time to say what I want to say because I have been apart of e-feds for now 6 years since 2007 and I can FINALLY say I won an e-fed World Title!!!! It's been so long to finally get to the top of the mountain and it feels good to finally become a World Champion in e-fedding. I don't mean for this post to be a long one about finally getting to the top, but for some it takes them only months to get there, but for me it took me a long time! This just feels so good man and I want to thank Dres for the opportunity and to Lewb as well for an awesome TT'ing session we had. I'm lost for words!!! FINALLY E-FED WORLD CHAMPION! It's a proud accomplishment for me. I have had several chances at becoming won, but failed to reach it. Now I FINALLY have and just wow! The match was so good that I thought at one point someone was going to win by DQ or countount. But as CM Punk would say "BEST IN THE WORLD" FINALLY!!!! This has been my favorite character and I just hope people enjoy my CM Punk as much as I have! Thanks to everyone who I have come across in efeds over the years and helped me reach this point!!

Now onto the show a BIG CONGRATS to BigGreenApple!! I picked you to win and I'm happy you got it done. Your Miz is off the charts and I'm curious as what champion your going to challenge now especially since I'm one of them lol.

Chase buddy, that was a great session we had with Roode and HBK. I got you in the match, but you took me out in the bigger one so I think our feud has to continue somehow and if it does I look forward to doing it again because I think we can elevate our game that much more the second time around and possibly add a stipulation to it!

Dod congrats to you on finally getting to that UWF Title. Much deserving and hopefully will come across each others paths again with HBK and Morrison for the title. Congrats again!!

Burnout congrats on becoming World Champion again on Smackdown. Your Dean Ambrose is awesome and you deserve a chance to represent that show once again!

Slim congrats to you on the win over CW! That was a fantastic read. There was such drama and emotion I felt put into that match by CW that it made seem so realistic that I want to see that match actually happen one day in WWE!!

The Royal Rumble match as a whole was fantastic and had such a great build to it with all the promo's leading up to the match. Edge and Rock as a great one. BigGreenApple had a fantastic Q&A promo. I much like the rest enjoyed when Austin's titantron came up. I swore I thought Dres was coming back as Austin, but it does make me wonder about what could possibly be in the store for the future. I remember in WWE when Undertaker did something similar to Kane and they ended up fighting at WrestleMania 20. Could we see that here in UWF?! A lot of surprise one time apperances though which I liked. Ryback, Rey Mysterio, Charlie Hass to name a few. I don't think anyone picked them up, but even if so it was awesome to see them make an apperance.

Now to the writers, CW thank you for a hell of a show and it was by far worth the wait for it! Seeing you put this together just makes me believe that come WrestleMania you're going to top it big time!! You're a beast when it comes to this and I thank you for the job you do because I know personally this isn't an easy one to say the least! The matches you wrote were great. Whoever wrote the NXT Title match, it said Sam with a question mark, but whoever did put such a strong effort into and like I said up top had me believing a few different outcomes.

Overall this show my have been my favorite ppv read and not just because I won the title, but because of the effort everyone put forth to make it this good! Congrats to all the winners and those who went hard for the Rumble!!

Re: UWF Proudly Presents: The Royal Rumble!

Wow! What a great read!

First of all big congrats to Shawn! At last you did it!

So many title changes happening, good deserved with with Dod and Miz winning that Rumble!

I really hope you choose to face Dod because I personally would love to see a Miz/Morrison feud happening!

Congrats to all who won! Can't wait to see what's in store towards Mania!

Re: UWF Proudly Presents: The Royal Rumble!

Very disappointed to be a eliminated so soon after entering but it makes sense as it starts a feud with Sam for the US title (I hope, at least) Can't wait for that as it should be a lot of fun.

Congrats to BigGreenApple. Very deserving win as he shocked me in that TT session. He brought it all.

The world title scene on all shows has been shaking up and its going to be really interesting from here on out.

All world titles changing on the same night. Very big.

Cwalker is the man. Will never know how he does it.

Re: UWF Proudly Presents: The Royal Rumble!

Man man man alive... what a show. What a show... WHAT a freakin show. From top to bottom, left to right, diagonal and whatever other directions that exist... let me know and I'll include them. But again what a show.

New champions crowned. New champions crowned. CM Punk... had to win it. I felt it. I saw it. It had to happen and it did. Shawn... 6 years in the business is a long time before winning that first world title and I can say... I understand that feeling. I didn't win my first world title til prob 4 years in. But you stuck it out and FINALLY you can say... you are a world champion. Big congrats there.

Dod... holmes... you overcame Cody Rhodes and did it. You poured everything in it and came out on top. Very impressive for sure. Very. Kudos.

Captain Captain... CAPTAIN! CHAMPION! YES! Your Ambrose is so chilling good I had to be here to experience him be world champion. He was a champion before I came into UWF and I always heard about how good it was and I was like... I gotta see this. Happy to say now I can see it happen. Now I can see what Ambrose as world champion is all about and I can say... I'm already gonna enjoy it. Congrats.

CWalk... pimp slappin, DDE ridin, Outer Limitz droppin son of a gun... that was a match. That was a match. I was like... dang what else is he gonna throw at me heh. Then you hit that DDE and I was like oh no... noooo... YES kick out. And to come out with the win. Man that was good. That was such a relief. That was such an amazing match.

And then the Rumble... wow. Wow. And then when I saw Trish I was like wait hold up... Trish is gonna be in the rumble? Sweet... but it was UMAGA!!!!!... heh that was awesome but... the best part of the match..

STONE COLD! STEVE! HAASTIN! Ah man I was like ahhhh awesome. That was just... awesome.

But I gotta say to the winner... mannnn you earned it. You deserved it. Looking through the Rumble TTs I was like... Miz has to win it. Miz has to win it. And the Royal Rumble winner has been declared... AWESOME! Major kudos to you. You deserved every single bit of that win.

UWF Royal Rumble... YES!

Also hope you all enjoyed that Rock/Edge promo. I honestly had no idea where I was gonna go with it. I saw the pic and I was like... heyyy this would be fun to try out. Then I let the two characters pretty much write it themselves.

Re: UWF Proudly Presents: The Royal Rumble!

Cwalks, I know we all say this every day but you sir are a god damn beast. I don't know how you do it but you do it bro. This pay per view was once again a fucking masterpiece. Every month we say the pay per view has potential to be the best but Royal Rumble? This one was incredible to be honest. Everything about it was perfect, including that fantastic Royal Rumble match. Congratulations to everyone who was involved with these pay per view. We all contributed to making this show awesome. A big congrats to all the new World Champs however! Congrats Shawn for your first World title bro, I've been behind your Punk since day one. It's killer! Congrats to Dod for finally dethroning Rey's title reign and becoming World Champ! You know how much I love your JoMo. And, congrats to my bud Bumout for once again becoming the World Champion. I knew you'd do it bro! And the biggest congrats to the Royal Rumble winner himself Miz! Your TT's were such an awesome read, bro. You're gonna go far here. That Rumble match though? I couldn't even keep up with it that's how crazy it was. So much shit went down it should be named match of the year right now, lol.

Looking forward to see what happens next!

Re: UWF Proudly Presents: The Royal Rumble!

This pay-per-view truly had everything; competitive action, compelling promos, great surprises, and even some comedy here and there. This is quite the show we've got here, it was most certainly worth the wait. If you guys want more detailed thoughts, check out the UWF Interactive section. *hint hint*

Re: UWF Proudly Presents: The Royal Rumble!

Man oh man. With every single Pay Per View, Cwalker and UWF Staff do something that makes me say "this was the best Pay Per View we ever had". But I'll have to repeat myself here. Every bit of the show was entertaning and fun to read. I felt like every match looked exactly what it was supposed to look like, looking at all the sessions we had this past month. All three World Titles changing hands on one night? I don't think we ever had show where this happened. All three guys deserve those titles. Bumout is a helluva TTer. Every time I TT against him he makes me goes nuts. Well deserved win for his Ambrose. Shawn winning the NXT World Title. His CM Punk is on a roll and with this huge win he puts himself where he belongs, at the top. Also, DOD finally winning the big one, the Undisputed Title. I'm pretty sure he'll make a great champion. Oh, and Lewb will be really sad about the fact he lost both of his World Titles but hey...everybody has to lose once. Then we had The Rock/Dinnero match. I really enjoyed this one. It had the main event feel to it if you know what I mean. It was truly fitting in with the concept. Never before, never again. Good read. No offense Slim but I thought The Pope is taking this one home. But either way, the match was great so I can't complain. And finally, the Royal Rumble match. I had some real fun reading this. Some of those returns really, really, surprised me but when I saw Stone Cold's Titantron I was like "It's Stone Cold! It's Stone Cold!" But then Stone Cold Steve Haastin came out and I laughed my ass off. BGA won the whole thing. Again, well deserved. BGA is one of the most consistent TTers we currently have and his Miz is really good. Congratulations to all the winners and thank you Cwalker and Sam.

Re: UWF Proudly Presents: The Royal Rumble!

To be honest, I haven't visited the site properly in ages, let alone checked UWF since me and SBS left a few months ago but I wanna say what a fantastic job Cwalker has done to keep the place ticking over and more importantly, he's still busting the same amount, if not more now.

The show was great and seeing some fresh meat win the Royal Rumble is always really nice. Ambrose being WHC is brilliant and Sandow is still on top form, not much has changed and it's nice.

Hopefully wrestlemania goes well and real good job cwalker
