January 29th, 2006
Thirty men. Every man for himself. And an opportunity at the WWE or World Heavyweight Championship on the line. Put all of that together and you have yourself one of the most intense, unpredictable, exciting matches of the year. It’s the Royal Rumble, and it’s coming to you Sunday, Jan. 29.
Last year Batista and John Cena went into sudden death in the Royal Rumble with Batista ultimately winning and defeating Triple H at WrestleMania 21 for the World Heavyweight Championship. The year before that Chris Benoit finally won the big one and went on to WrestleMania XX and achieved his life-long dream of becoming World Champion. Will the Rumble prove to be the starting point for someone else’s march to the title at WrestleMania?
SmackDown’s Lashley has already said that he is on a mission to go to the Royal Rumble and make an impact. The soft-spoken, hard-hitting Lashley is undefeated and will surely be a force to be reckoned with.
On the RAW side, it was announced that Rob Van Dam would be making his big return to the squared circle at the Royal Rumble Match as well. Van Dam has been out since last Jan. 13 when he suffered a major knee injury. Will Van Dam be heeled enough to make a strong showing? The Big Red Monster Kane, Chavo Guerrero and Shelton Benjamin also all won Royal Rumble Qualifying Matches. Kane said that Snitsky was just his first victim. He said there will be 29 more victims and he will leave a path of destruction on his way to WrestleMania 22.
Who else will join the fray at the Royal Rumble? Which Superstar will be heading to WrestleMania 22 to fight for the WWE or World Heavyweight Championship? Watch the Royal Rumble Sunday, Jan. 29 at 8/9 CT on pay-per-view to find out.
WWE Champion Edge vs. John Cena
January 29th, 2006
Edge shocked the world when he cashed in his Money in the Bank title shot at New Year’s Revolution. John Cena was already bloodied and battered. He had just barely survived the brutal Elimination Chamber, outlasting five other Superstars in the process. Edge realized it was the perfect time. The Champ was at his most vulnerable, and Edge smelled it like a shark smells blood in the water.
Cena could barely get to his feet, but as soon as he did, Edge pounced with a devastating spear. Cena was still somehow able to kick out, but he was just prolonging the inevitable. Edge was just licking his chops, waiting for Cena to get up, and as soon as he did he hit him with another vicious spear. This time the 1-2-3 was academic. Just moments after Edge’s huge win, he told Todd Grisham that he and Lita would celebrate the win by having hot, torrid sex live on RAW the following night.
Before the live sex session, though, John Cena said that he was invoking his rematch clause. Lita answered Cena’s challenge and said that after some “oral persuasion” she had convinced Mr. McMahon that the rematch shouldn’t be until the Royal Rumble. Later that evening Mr. McMahon caught up with Cena as well. He told the former WWE Champion that if he made his presence felt during the live sex session, then he would lose his right to a rematch at the Royal Rumble.
It looked as though Cena would live up to his word that he wouldn’t interfere. In fact, it was Ric Flair who interrupted the steamy sex session. Edge was able to fend off Flair, though, and nailed him with a Con-Chair-To on the announce table. Before Edge could do any more damage, Cena came out through the crowd and ran Edge off. Edge refused to get back into the ring, leaving Lita alone with Cena. Cena hoisted her up and delivered an FU as the WWE Champion looked on.
Did John Cena inadvertently lose his shot at regaining the WWE Championship?
