Royal Rumble
JBL vs. The Boogeyman
(An uneventful match. Boogeyman tries to use his mind games to throw JBL off his game, but Bradshaw counters with pure striking power and wins with The Clothesline From Hell.)
Winner: JBL
(Backstage Booker T is warming up for the Rumble with Sharmell….that sounded wrong. Newho, Randy Orton walks into the room. He reminds Booker that he has a favour owed to him for helping the Bookerman retain the US Title. Orton reminds Booker he is cashing in the favour in the Rumble with them two teaming up and then at the end having Booker eliminate himself. Booker tries to talk his way out of it, but Randy tells him that it’s not a request, it’s an order. Booker reluctantly agrees and Randy leaves the room.)
Mickie James vs. Ashley (Special Ref: Trish Stratus)
(Trish officiates the match fairly as expected. Stock-standard match. Ashley gets a roll-up out of nowhere and Trish counts the fair 3.)
Winner: Ashley
(After the match, Mickie is inconsolable in the corner.)
(Backstage, Vince is in his office. HBK comes charging in. He asks Vince what is the deal with the number he drew in the Rumble. Vince says he may or may not of rigged the draw, but now HBK has a choice. He can join Vince or he can screw up his chance to headline Mania again and say no to the partying life. HBK throws his Rumble number at Vince and tells him to grow up as he leaves.)
Edge vs. John Cena – WWE Championship
(Both go back and forth in the match until the end. Cena has the match won as he lines up for the F-U but Lita distracts the ref as Edge uses the belt to knock Cena out and get the three.)
Winner: Edge
(Backstage Kurt Angle is giving an interview, saying how despite Mark Henry powering out of the Ankle Lock on Smackdown he still promises victory as he goes on to defend his title at Mania. He is interrupted by Rey Mysterio who wishes him luck in the match and says that it would be an honour to face him at Mania after he wins the Royal Rumble tonight. At this time, Randy Orton also interrupts and says that Rey is living in a dream world, because it will be the Legend Killer who wins the Rumble and then it will be an honour for Kurt Angle to lose to Orton at Mania. All three squabble until Mark Henry comes past and tells them to stop arguing about who is going to face Angle at Mania, because it’s not going to happen. Mark Henry then leaves to go towards the ring for the next match.)
Kurt Angle vs. Mark Henry – World Heavyweight Championship
(Angle dominates. He puts the Ankle Lock on and Henry attempts to power out, but Angle grapevines the leg and eventually Henry taps out.)
Winner – Kurt Angle
(Backstage Carlito is having an interview. He says that he guarantees victory in the Royal Rumble because he as a secret weapon. But now he feels so confident that he will reveal the secret. And that weapon, is The Masterpiece who is revealed to be standing next to them. He says once the Masterpiece and himself eliminate all the others it’ll only be a matter of time, before Carlito is announced as the 2006 Royal Rumble Winner. Now that’s cool. Carlito walks off, but Masters stays behind. When Carlito is out of sight, Masters says that Carlito is mistaken. When it comes down to them two, there is no doubt that he, The Masterpiece will emerge victorious.)
