The Miz grabs the microphone again and boasts about what he just did to Riley and how he will do the same to the next 28 fools who dare come out and challenge him.

Christian's music hits and the crowd gets riled up to see him back. Christian runs to the ring and attacks them all going from Triple H to Miz to Sheamus, attacking every single one even hitting a Killswitch on Road Dogg. He starts motioning to the crowd that he's back!!

Entrant #16: Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre's music hits, but he doesn't show. When they notice he hasn't arrived, everyone actually stops what they're doing and stares down the ramp to see Drew come out. Drew then arrives from the audience with a chair in hand and starts HITTING EVERYONE WITH CHAIRSHOTS. He goes from Cody to Trips to Road Dogg to Christian to Sheamus... no one is safe from Drew's aggression! Once he hits Tyson Kidd, he throws the poor sucker over the top rope. It takes a few shots to take down Khali, but he hits enough to weaken Khali enough to throw him over the top as well!! Drew is on fire, standing tall with a chair in hand while everyone else is laying down in the middle of the ring!

Entrant #17: Chris Jericho
The lights go out and we see the lit jacket and Jericho's music hits! Jericho runs to the ring and goes after Drew McIntyre. He hits a standing dropkick that shoves Drew's chair to his face and hits the lionsault. Everyone else starts waking up from their daze and Jericho goes after all of them the same.

Entrant #18: Primo
Right before Primo comes out, Triple H and R-Truth beat down Miz in a corner and almost immediately, Triple H throws Truth over the top!

Epico and Road Dogg are going at it and Primo joins for a two-on-one beat down. Christian and Sheamus are hitting each other with some even offense in a corner while Wade is beating up Santino in another. Cody and Drew are both without adversaries for now.

Triple H grabs Drew's chair and hits Wade with it knocking him down. Miz capitalizes and tries to push Wade over the top. Sheamus interferes unsuccessfully with Miz going after him instead. Dolph runs to the ring and goes after Santino who seems fatigued after so much brawling. Dolph quickly disposes of Santino to the ire of the crowd. The crowd should be displeased that he's in the Rumble after losing his WWE title match earlier in the night.

Entrant #21: Mick Foley
Mick Foley runs to the ring and immediately hits Dolph with Mr. Socko. Foley hits Dolph various times and tries throwing him over the top, but only one of Dolph's feet hit the floor. Dolph gets back in the ring and attacks Foley aggressively. He pounds on him on the mat until Jericho interferes and helps Foley out.

Entrant #22: David Otunga
Ziggler keeps trying to throw Foley out of the ring, but Foley doesn't budge. Ziggler grabs Foley on the Turnbuckle, and Foley pushes him off! Ziggler is eliminated in what seems like an upset. Foley celebrates at the top of the turnbuckle, when Jericho rushes and kicks him off! Foley is also eliminated! Ziggler starts beating up Foley on the outside when referees separate them. Otunga rushes to the ring and finds himself in battle with the other 8 competitors.

Entrant #23: Randy Orton
This is St. Louis so Randy comes out to a huge ovation. Wade is afraid and Randy comes to the ring and immediately targets him. Drew tries to distract him, but Randy quickly throws him over the top and goes after Wade. Wade hides behind Otunga, but Orton disposes of him too. Randy attacks Wade aggressively hitting his backbreaker, ddt and ending it with an RKO. Randy goes all psycho when Christian and Miz start attacking him from behind. Jericho then evens the odds.

Entrant #24: Hacksaw Jim Duggan
Hacksaw runs to the ring to a big USA chant. He strikes down Christian, Miz and Cody and goes after Wade. Randy steps aside and Hacksaw hits Wade with his signature strikes, screaming HOOOOOO! However, Wade counters back and clotheslines Hacksaw out of here. Just as Wade smirks in delight, Randy makes it clear he isn't finished with him just yet. Randy pounds Wade in the corner while Jericho and Christian brawl further away. All the while, Miz and Triple H fight it out and Cody starts locking up with Sheamus.

Entrant #25: Jack Swagger
Jack Swagger runs to the ring and attacks Chris Jericho and Christian. They look at each other, nod and double team Swagger. Swagger is on the receiving end of a beatdown when Miz tries to even the odds. Triple H and Sheamus begin to brawl while Randy struggles with eliminating Wade.

Entrant #26: Justin Gabriel
Jericho and Christian leave Swagger down on the mat and Gabriel runs to the ring, gets on the turnbuckle and hits a picture perfect 450 splash on the All-American American. Gabriel's celebration is cut short when Cody Rhodes attacks him almost immediately. There's 10 men in the ring right now and still 4 to go.

Entrant #27: Kharma
Kharma's laughter surrounds the arena. Kharma runs to the ring and nails both Cody and Gabriel from the get-go. She goes after Jack Swagger in the corner while Vickie Guerrero who is managing at ringside screams in disgrace. She screams to Kharma to go away while Kharma carries Swagger and tries to throw him onto Vickie. Swagger kicks out and starts shoving Kharma. Kharma knocks him down and starts taunting Vickie on the outside when both Cody and Miz knock her over the top. Cody starts laughing at her from ringside with his own vintage laughter.

Entrant #28: Goldust
Goldust runs to the ring and immediately goes after Cody Rhodes. Cody is bewildered at what's going on and tries to fight back, but Goldust is faster than a torpedo taking down Cody eventually throwing him over the top! Cody is shocked on the outside while Goldust stares him down. Cody starts making a scene on the outside and tries going back in the ring, but Goldust scares him away. Cody walks to the back in disgust as the fight continues in the ring.

Entrant #29: Kane
Kane rushes to the ring and immediately starts attacking everyone. He throws both Gabriel and Swagger over the top with ease and then goes after Jericho. Jericho fights back, but Kane overpowers him and chokeslams him in the middle of the ring. Then he goes after everyone literally destroying everyone in his path including Randy Orton and Wade Barrett. Triple H stares down Kane and they start going at it until the final entrant is revealed...

Entrant #30: The Undertaker
The Undertaker crashes down to the ring and starts going after his brother Kane. They fight while everyone watches around them. Sheamus capitalizes on the situation and throws Christian over the top. Triple H does the same and eliminates Goldust. Kane and Undertaker are going at it, and Undertaker ends up eliminating Kane! Kane is upset on the outside attacking the steel steps and the referees who try to calm him down. While Wade is distracted during Kane's turmoil, Randy Orton finally eliminates him! A few minutes more and Jericho shocks everyone by eliminating Randy himself! This probably doesn't go over well with the St. Louis crowd. The Miz then goes after The Undertaker while Triple H and Sheamus brawl on the other side of the ring. The Miz is the next to go when Undertaker chokeslams him out of the ring! We're down to our final four and a few more minutes of non-stop suspense leads to Triple H eliminating Sheamus! The Undertaker, Triple H and Chris Jericho are our final three! Triple H and The Undertaker have their big staredown and they attack each other will all their might with Triple H even nailing Undertaker with a spinebuster. Undertaker actually is able to overcome Triple H in the end and hits him with the Last Ride! Undertaker does his signature Rest in Peace-taunt and Jericho quickly eliminates him! It's down to Triple H and Chris Jericho. They lock up and wrestle for a few minutes hitting each other with everything they've got. Triple H hits Jericho with a low blow and Jericho tries everything he can until Jericho and Triple H, fatigued, stare at each other down from opposite sides of the ring. Jericho smirks turns around, goes over the top rope and WALKS OUT OF THE RING!!! Triple H looks confused, but Jericho laughs while walking back, clapping hands with fans at ringside. Triple H is declared the WINNER and Triple H starts to celebrate in the ring while the announcers question why Chris Jericho give up the Royal Rumble and what repercussions will the Rumble win have on Triple H's position as COO!!

Part 2- WWE Raw - January 30, 2012


The show begins with the announcers hyping the first batch of Elimination Chamber qualifying matches announced by WWE.com: R-Truth vs. David Otunga & Kofi Kingston vs. Kane. Jerry Lawler reminds the audience that Triple H is supposed to arrive tonight to review John Laurinitis' position as Raw General Manager. Michael Cole points out that Triple H came back one day early entering the Royal Rumble at #3 and winning the whole damn thing! Lawler says he is skeptical about some of Triple H's actions last night and wonders why he competed in the Rumble in the first place... They're not left to wonder for long because Triple H hits the ring immediately!

Triple H cuts a promo about how although he is COO he is still a competitor and he thrives to be the best in this business no matter what. He entered #3 in the Royal Rumble and lasted all the way to the end fair and square to get a shot at a world title at WrestleMania! He goes on to say that this won't affect his position as COO as he has informed the Board that he will remain unbiased and professional. CM Punk's music hits immediately and Punk begins to question Triple H's actions. He says that he can't put his finger on it, but something doesn't feel right. He asks the question of what could have possessed Chris Jericho to just walk out of the Royal Rumble. Triple H says he is wondering the same thing, but Punk accuses Triple H of paying him off. Punk says Triple H hit a few low blows to guys like Truth and Kofi and Triple H says he just had to do what he had to do to win the match. Triple H says he isn't retired yet. CM Punk says that he has made that clear by grabbing the spotlight one more time keeping all the young guys down. Punk then goes on to say he will enjoy pinning Triple H at WrestleMania. Triple H says that to maintain his professionalism and put aside his past problems with CM Punk, he has decided to face World Champion Daniel Bryan. CM Punk then says Triple H is afraid of him and Triple H frustratingly points out that he beat Punk at Night of Champions. Punk says that Triple H knows he wouldn't have won if it weren't for his buddy Kevin Nash and Triple H makes it clear that he can beat Punk any time any place. John Laurinitis arrives to the ring and says that he knows that he will be evaluated tonight, but he still is Raw General Manager and wants to announce his main event tonight. He says that CM Punk will team up with Chris Jericho to take on United States Champion Jack Swagger and former number one contender Dolph Ziggler! Laurinitis then says that Triple H, the best damn professional in the history of the WWE and best boss in the world will be the Special Referee!!

First match: Epico and Primo w/ Rosa Mendes vs. Santino Marella and Hacksaw Jim Duggan

The match is a short endeavor with Primo and Epico mostly on offense while Santino and Hacksaw due their comedy routines. The match ends with Primo getting the pin on Hacksaw after a backstabber. Epico, Primo and Rosa then grab a microphone and they take turns talking about the blatant disrespect the New Age Outlaws had for them last night. They say that the New Age Outlaws are has-beens and shouldn't have even been in the Rumble. They state that they are tag team champions and should be treated with the respect they deserve. Epico goes on to invite the Outlaws to Smackdown this Friday so they can teach them a lesson in respect.

Triple H approaches Laurinitis and tells him he doesn't like surprises. Laurinitis tells him that he chose him as referee because he says that he wasn't that good a referee last night and says he can learn from Triple H. Triple H tells him to stop being a kiss-ass, because it won't help him in his evaluation.

Second match: R-Truth vs. David Otunga (Elimination Chamber qualifier)

The Miz is on commentary. Truth comes out and calls out Miz from the ramp saying that he almost eliminated him in the Rumble if it wasn't for Triple H. Truth says that things between Miz and him aren't finished and he isn't going to stop beating down The Miz until Miz is eating from a straw. David Otunga comes out as his opponent. They have a back-and-forth match for a few minutes until Truth hits the Lie Detector for the win. The Miz then attacks him in the ring and nails him with a Skull Crushing Finale. He grabs the microphone and says that no matter what Truth does, Miz will always be one step ahead because he's AWESOMEEEEE.

Backstage, John Cena is being interviewed by Josh Matthews. Josh asks John about Kane's beatdown last night. Cena says that he won't ever embrace the hate and no matter what everyone thinks or wants, Cena is just a plain ol' nice guy and Kane can't change that. But make no mistake, just because he isn't hateful, doesn't mean he isn't vengeful. He will get revenge for what Kane did to Zack Ryder be it tonight, next week, at the Chamber or whenever. He will take down Kane.

Matt Striker tries to interview Chris Jericho, but Jericho just smiles and walks away...

Third match: Randy Orton and The Big Show vs. Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett

This is announced as Randy Orton's first match back from injury. Randy works the beginning of the match against Cody. Randy tries to go after Wade, but Wade avoids him. When Randy tags in Big Show, Cody tags in Wade. Wade gets a nice amount of offense on Big Show, but Big Show eventually counters with a chokeslam. Big Show runs to tag in Randy, but Wade sprints aside and tags in Cody. Randy is upset and takes it out on Cody. The match goes on for a few more minutes until Randy tags in Big Show. Big Show goes after Cody, but Randy is tired of waiting and attacks Wade on the outside. During the commotion, Big Show tries to go for a pin, but the referee is distracted. Big Show tries to get the attention of the referee and Cody goes for a roll-up, pinning the Giant. After the match, Randy continues to assault Wade on the outside until Wade escapes through the crowd. The announcers inform us that Randy vs. Wade in a Street Fight has been booked for Smackdown.

Back from commercial, Chris Jericho is sitting on a chair in the middle of the ring. He has a microphone in hand. He stalls for a bit, but he finally speaks. He says he walked out of the Royal Rumble, because winning that match would have been an obstacle in obtaining what he wants. He does not want title gold, he has had enough of that. He is a multiple-time World, Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion. He does not need more title gold to prove he is the Best in the World. He only has one goal in mind: TO END THE UNDERTAKER'S STREAK. He says the World did End last night. His world didn't end, Punk's world didn't end nor did Triple H's. The WWE Universe's world ended because he threw The Undertaker out of that ring like a rag doll and he proved he is better than The Undertaker. The Undertaker can act all high and mighty all he wants, but he is just a fragile has-been who he is going to expose as the fraud that he is. At WrestleMania 28, he will beat the streak and the WWE Universe will have no choice but to accept that he is the best in the world at what he does. Jericho's music hits and he walks off smiling and clapping hands with people at ringside.

Fourth match: Kofi Kingston vs. Kane (Elimination Chamber qualifier)

Kofi Kingston and Kane lock up, but Kane overpowers Kingston. Kingston gets little offense, but Kane really shows his aggression the whole match. After about 5 minutes, John Cena's music hits and Kane is distracted. Cena runs down the ramp. Kane pushes the referee out of the way and Kane gets out of the ring. Kane starts brawling with Cena, while the referee is out cold. Cena gets the better of him and throws him into the barricade. Cena grabs a chair and hits Kane in the back. Then he throws both Kane and the chair into the ring. Cena tells Kofi to lay down and Kane starts to stand up. Cena wakes up the ref and the ref sees Kofi playing dead with Kane standing up next to a chair. The referee calls for the bell and Kane is devastated. Cena gets in the ring and Kane pushes him over the top. Kane then chokeslams Kofi THREE TIMES. Cena becomes furious, runs back into the ring and chases Kane out and starts checking on Kofi.

Backstage, Alex Riley confronts John Laurinitis about why he doesn't get much screen time. David Otunga mentions its because Riley sucks. Riley says that Otunga is the one who lost his match earlier tonight. Otunga then mentions that Riley was the first eliminated in the Rumble. Laurinitis tells him that he likes to please his superstars and will give him a special match next week. Riley says that's all he wanted. He intimidates Otunga and walks away.

Fifth match: Eve vs. Beth Phoenix (WWE Diva's Championship)

Beth Phoenix makes quick work of Eve. Beth then says she wants real competition and no more barbie doll models who don't measure up to her talent. Kharma's laugh hits the speakers and Beth is immediately frightened. Kharma comes out to the ring and once she gets inside Beth flees the ring running to the back. Kharma laughs in the middle of the ring taunting Beth from afar.

Backstage, CM Punk confronts Triple H about the match tonight. He says Laurinitis was going to screw him last night, but he didn't because he was afraid Triple H was going to fire him. Triple H says he might just do that. Punk says that he hopes Triple H doesn't screw him tonight. Triple H asks why he would do that. Punk reasons that Triple H might screw him because he's jealous of his talent and everyone knows Triple H can't win a match fair and square. He either wins because he uses a sledgehammer, or because Kevin Nash big boots his opponents or because he pays his opponents to walk out and give him the win. No way Jericho walked out on a World title shot just to send a message to The Undertaker. Triple H says he doesn't care what Punk believes, he says he won't screw him tonight. But if he keeps mouthing off, Punk's life isn't going to be easier. Punk says that he hates easy things. Unlike Triple H who married one.

Sixth match: CM Punk and Chris Jericho vs. Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger with Special Referee Triple H

John Laurinitis is on commentary. Chris Jericho does not make it out to the ring. Triple H motions to Punk that he needs a tag team partner. CM Punk says he apparently doesn't have one. CM Punk goes ahead and starts working the match as a handicap match. The handicap situation gets the best of him, but Triple H tries to prevent double-team action. Punk does a lot of arguing with Triple H during the match, but at the end, Punk eventually hits the GTS on Ziggler. Triple H starts counting the pin really slowly until Chris Jericho sprints to the ring, grabs Punk and hits him with a Codebreaker!Jericho pins Ziggler himself and Triple H counts fast: 1,2,3! Triple H raises Jericho's hand and Jericho celebrates in the ring. Punk is upset on the outside. Triple H grabs a microphone and announces that John Laurinitis has been evaluated and gets to keep his job as Raw General Manager. However, he still is COO and he is still in charge and next week, CM Punk will defend his WWE Championship against Chris Jericho! Jericho celebrates in the ring to end the show.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
This show is missing a few things that made Raw great this past Monday, but the excess promos were necessary to explain the Royal Rumble and how things will go on from there. Part 3 will be up tomorrow and will focus on Smackdown. Each subsequent part will focus on a different show until Part 8 Elimination Chamber. Hopefully after that, I will fit both the Raw and Smackdown of the same week in the same parts leading all the way to Part 15 WrestleMania. By now, you might start noticing exactly how the WrestleMania climate is heating up, but be warned, there will be a few surprise twists and turns along the way!

Part 3- WWE Smackdown- February 3, 2011

The show starts with a video package storying the rivalry between Randy Orton and Wade Barrett stemming from Survivor Series all the way to Randy Orton's injury. Josh Matthews, Michael Cole and Booker T welcome us to the show recapping that tonight will be the final chapter in the Orton/Barrett saga as tonight will see both men clash in a Street Fight. Josh Matthews also mentions that Smackdown will begin their own Elimination Chamber qualifying matches. The winners of those matches will enter the Elimination Chamber for a chance to enter WrestleMania as World Heavyweight Champion. Speaking of the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan is about to hit the ring!

Daniel Bryan's music hits and he comes out with AJ in his arm. AJ is wearing a neck brace after the injury she suffered at the hands of Big Show only 2 weeks ago. Daniel Bryan enters the ring and gives his World title for AJ to hold. Due to her injuries, AJ is visibly struggling to hold the title while Bryan grabs a microphone.

"As all of you may know, I am a confident man, but even I knew what I had gotten myself into when I entered the Steel Cage match on Sunday with those two giants. The chances of me retaining the title were very slim. My opponents were bigger, stronger and more ruthless. Just look at what Big Show did to my poor AJ… (He points to AJ who is about to drop the World title because of its heft. He puts it back on her shoulders and directs himself to the crowd once more.) And yet I still walked out World Heavyweight Champion!! You want to know why? It's because of my sweetheart, AJ. She loves me so much. Do you know why she loves me? It's because I'm handsome. I'm smart. I make her laugh. I take her out to the best vegan restaurants in town. And most of all, because I protect her. I protect her from evil scoundrels like Mark Henry and The Big Show. Big Show, you should be ashamed of what you did to AJ. She used to be such a beautiful girl and now look what you did. (Bryan spits on the floor) But you know what, the injury you gave her awoke a fire in my heart that made me NEED to beat you on Sunday. And I did! I BEAT YOU! Fair and square. I proved that even though I am smaller, I am still meaner, tougher, and simply better than you. I think its time both you and Mark Henry just go away. Far away from my sweet AJ, from me and from the WWE. Big Show, you won't ever beat me. So stop trying, okay? Your time has past. If you don't leave, so help me God, I will beat you again. And again. And I'll keep on humiliating you just like I did when I beat you and became World Heavyweight Champion, when I beat you on Smackdown and remained World Heavyweight Champion and when I escaped the cage and made sure I stay World Heavyweight Champion! And no matter what happens at Elimination Chamber, at WrestleMania, I am going to enter and leave World Heavyweight…. The Big Show's music hits!

Daniel Bryan covers AJ… Instead of Big Show, out comes Mark Henry with a microphone. Mark Henry tells him that he's insulted that a member of his Hall of Pain is parading around with his World title saying he should "go away". Bryan tries to defend himself saying this was directed towards The Big Show. Henry says he heard his name out there and didn't like what came after it. He doesn't care about The Big Show, and he definitely doesn't care about AJ. He just wants his World title back and he's going to make sure he gets it, even if that means putting Bryan on the sidelines. Henry walks to the ring and once he is in, Bryan escapes. Mark Henry is standing in front of AJ… Mark laughs and approaches her. He asks her to give him the title. She says no. He gets angry, he grabs her neck brace. Big Show runs to the ring and goes after Mark Henry. He pushes him aside and asks AJ if she is okay. AJ is scared of him. She falls to the floor in fear. Bryan gets in the ring and berates Big Show. She runs to Bryan's arms and he flees the ring with both her and the World Heavyweight Championship all while Big Show is left with a sad expression in the ring.

First match- Sheamus vs. Drew McIntyre (Elimination Chamber qualifier)

The announcers remind the audience of Drew's epic performance at the Royal Rumble. Cole says that it was the most brutal entrance he's ever seen in the Royal Rumble. Drew McIntyre makes his way to the ring with a chair in hand. As Drew McIntyre walks down the ramp, they show a pre-taped interview like in the good ol' days. Drew McIntyre says that he would have won the Rumble if it weren't for Randy Orton and he is going to remember that. Booker T points out that Randy Orton really has a knack for making enemies.

Sheamus makes his way to the ring and stares down Drew. The referee tells Drew to throw the chair outside and Drew reluctantly follows. The match begins with Sheamus and Drew locking up. Sheamus gets some early offense, overpowering Drew into a corner. Drew cheap shots him and lays in the body shots clubbing blows to Sheamus' back. He covers early for a 2-count then drops his knees on Sheamus. Sheamus ducks a clothesline, but not a back elbow. Drew then climbs a turnbuckle, but Sheamus cuts him off and dropkicks him out of the ring. The referee starts a 10-count and Sheamus heads out to dish out more punishment with stomps. They brawl on the outside until the referee arrives at 8. Drew runs back in the ring, and Sheamus follows. Sheamus Irish whips Drew into a corner and then hits double axe hammers and a powerslam. He ties Drew in the ropes to club him in the chest ten times. Drew then pushes him aside and goes outside the ring. The referee starts a 10-count while Sheamus waits inside. Drew starts hitting the announce desk in frustration that he has been overpowered by Sheamus most of the match. Sheamus gets on the outside and grabs Drew, but out-of-nowhere, Drew nails him with the chair. It's over as the referee calls for the bell, but Drew doesn't care. Drew assaults Sheamus with the chair various times. He goes back into the ring and then goes to the referee. He is about to hit him with the chair, but Sheamus tackles him. Drew hits him with the chair three more times. Then he drops the chair on the floor and as it seems he is going to leave, he hits Sheamus with a Future Shock DDT onto the chair! Drew grabs the chair and leaves frustrated as Booker T remind everyone that this just extends Drew's losing streak while Cole says that this aggressive attitude might end it sooner-rather-than-later.

Winner: Sheamus (via DQ)

Backstage, Billy Gunn and Road Dogg are talking while Christian approaches them. Christian welcomes them back and Road Dogg says the same to him. Christian asks him why they would be welcoming him back if they are the ones who have been off the radar for over a decade. Road Dogg says that he's been working backstage while Christian has been sidelined for almost a year. Billy says that D-o-Double-G they were just being friendly. Christian tells Billy that if he wants to be friendly, he can go find Chuck wherever he left him. Billy goes to hit Christian, but Road Dogg pushes him back. He tells Christian to back off or he's going to get back on the injured list before getting back in a Smackdown ring. Christian laughs and tells them that he's back and better than ever.

The camera cuts to the ring where Jinder Mahal is standing in the center wearing a white suit. He says he is outraged that he wasn't in the Royal Rumble match.

It was really too bad. I was blocked for some B.S. and couldn't build toward the event. It was Jericho/Undertaker, Cena/Rock, Triple H/Punk, a 4-way tag match and a battle royal for the WHC featuring former World champions. Too bad I never got to finish.
